Abstract: (57 Views)
Introduction: Given the rising prevalence of diabetes and the decreasing age of onset, focusing on self-care and enhancing the psychological capabilities of patients is of particular importance. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of developing and evaluating the effectiveness of a psycho-educational self-care package on the psychological hardiness of patients with diabetes.
Methods: The study employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach. In the qualitative phase, the lived experiences of patients with diabetes regarding self-care were explored, and based on the findings, an educational-psychological self-care package was developed. The quantitative phase utilized a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test, and control group, including a two-month follow-up period. The study population consisted of patients with diabetes visiting health centers in Isfahan. 60 patients were selected via convenience sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups; ultimately, 50 individuals participated in the final analysis. Data were collected using the Ahvaz Psychological Hardiness Questionnaire, and a specially designed intervention package was administered to the experimental group over twelve 60-minute sessions. The data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance.
Results: The mean psychological hardiness score in the intervention group increased from 48,16 to 57,24, whereas it changed from 43,04 to 42,64 in the control group. The difference between the groups was statistically significant (F=20,76, P≤0,001), and the intervention effect was maintained at the two-month follow-up.
Conclusion: The findings of the present study indicate that the developed package can be considered a promising approach for enhancing psychological hardiness in patients with diabetes.
