Overview

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of individualized nursing care interventions on self-efficacy, empowerment, and self-management behaviors in individuals diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetes requires lifelong management, and standard care approaches often fall short of meeting individual psychosocial and clinical needs. By implementing structured, patient-centered nursing care protocols, this study assesses how personalized education, follow-up, and support mechanisms influence patients' capacity to manage their condition, improve glycemic control, and enhance their overall quality of life.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic condition that demands continuous daily self-care, dietary adherence, medication management, and regular monitoring to prevent long-term complications. Traditional clinical approaches are frequently standardized, which can limit their effectiveness in addressing the unique psychosocial, behavioral, and cultural needs of individual patients.
