Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder with a growing global impact. Effective management of this condition requires not only medical intervention but also comprehensive patient education. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of different diabetes education methods on improving metabolic control, body mass index (BMI), and blood pressure among diabetic patients. The research aimed to empower individuals with diabetes by enhancing their knowledge and self-management skills. A quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was employed. The study was carried out at the Government Taluk Hospital in Kollegal, following formal approval from relevant medical authorities. Participants were selected through convenience sampling based on predefined inclusion criteria. Prior to data collection, informed consent was obtained, and confidentiality was assured. Data were gathered using a self-administered questionnaire designed to assess participants’ baseline knowledge and clinical parameters. The questionnaire required approximately 20–30 min to complete. Following the pre-test, participants attended a structured 30-min educational session tailored to diabetes management. 8 days after the intervention, a post-test was conducted to evaluate changes in knowledge and clinical outcomes. Educational handouts were also provided to reinforce learning. Statistical analysis was performed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, paired t-test, and Chi-square test to examine the significance of differences between pre- and post-intervention data and to explore associations between selected variables. The study’s findings are expected to contribute valuable insights into the role of educational interventions in managing diabetes, potentially guiding future practices to improve patient outcomes through knowledge-driven care.

Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, patient education, metabolic control, quasi-experimental design, self-management
