Effects of Nurse-Led Diabetes Education and Telephone Follow-Up in Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes
Sponsor: Naile ALANKAYA
Summary
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of nurse-led diabetes self-management education supported by telephone follow-up on diabetes knowledge, self-management behaviors, and glycemic control in adults newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group received structured diabetes self-management education and two follow-up telephone calls at the first and second months to reinforce the education and support self-management. The control group continued to receive routine clinical care without additional structured education or telephone follow-up from the research team during the study. Diabetes knowledge and self-management behaviors were assessed at baseline and at three months. Glycemic outcomes, including HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, and postprandial blood glucose, were assessed at baseline and at the first and third months. The study aimed to determine whether combining structured education with telephone follow-up could improve diabetes self-management and blood glucose control during the early period following a type 2 diabetes diagnosis.

Nurse-Led Diabetes Self-Management Education and Telephone Follow-Up
Participants in the intervention group received individualized, face-to-face, nurse-led diabetes self-management education lasting approximately 30-40 minutes. The education covered diabetes management, healthy nutrition, physical activity, medication adherence, blood glucose monitoring, and prevention of complications. Two structured telephone follow-up sessions were conducted at months 1 and 2 to reinforce education, answer questions, and support self-management. Participants in the control group received routine clinical care without additional researcher-led education or telephone follow-up during the three-month study period. Educational materials were provided to the control group after the final outcome assessment.
