Abstract

Background: Improving medication adherence plays a crucial role in preventing adverse complications of type 2 diabetes.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of a health education program on knowledge, medication adherence, and HbA1c in rural patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: This experimental study was conducted in Ilam County, Iran. Participants were selected via multistage cluster sampling and randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n=43) or the control group (n=42). The intervention group underwent a one-month educational program based on self-regulation theory, consisting of 12 sessions, while the control group received no educational intervention. Data were collected at baseline, three months, and six months using a diabetes knowledge test (DKT), the Iranian version of the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (IVMMAS-8), and laboratory measurements of HbA1c. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 16, employing chi-square tests, independent sample t-tests, repeated-measures ANOVA, and Bonferroni correction at a significance level of 0.05.

Results: After 3 and 6 months, the intervention group showed significant improvements in diabetes knowledge and medication adherence and a significant reduction in HbA1c levels compared to the control group (p<0.001). No significant changes were observed in the control group over time (p>0.05).

Conclusion: This study demonstrated that health education based on self-regulation theory can effectively increase knowledge, improve treatment adherence, and decrease HbA1c levels in rural patients with type 2 diabetes.

健康教育计划对农村2型糖尿病患者知识、药物依从性和糖化血红蛋白的影响

背景：提高药物依从性在预防2型糖尿病不良并发症中起着至关重要的作用。目的：本研究旨在确定健康教育计划对农村2型糖尿病患者知识、药物依从性和HbA1c的影响。方法：本实验研究在伊朗伊拉姆县进行。参与者通过多阶段整群抽样选择，并随机分配到干预组（n=43）或对照组（n=42）。干预组接受为期一个月的基于自我调节理论的教育项目，共12次，对照组不接受教育干预。使用糖尿病知识测试（DKT）、伊朗版Morisky药物依从性量表-8 （IVMMAS-8）和实验室HbA1c测量在基线、3个月和6个月收集数据。统计学分析采用SPSS version 16，采用卡方检验、独立样本t检验、重复测量方差分析和Bonferroni校正，显著性水平为0.05。结果：干预组患者在治疗3个月和6个月后糖尿病知识和药物依从性均显著提高，HbA1c水平明显低于对照组（p0.05）。结论：本研究表明，基于自我调节理论的健康教育可以有效提高农村2型糖尿病患者的知识水平，提高治疗依从性，降低HbA1c水平。
