Effect of locally-contextualized nurse-led diabetes self-management education on psychosocial health and quality of life: A controlled before-after study

Our study evaluated the potential of nurse-led, locally contextualized diabetes self-management education (DSME) to modify psychosocial symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a resource-limited setting. Thus, a controlled, two-group, before-after study was conducted among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). At the baseline, 116 participants were randomly assigned to the intervention, and 104 to the comparison group. The intervention consisted of six interactive DSME sessions administered by nurses for six months.
