Evaluation of the effect of self-care behavior training on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in diabetic patients

Abstract

Background: Successful management of blood glucose levels is one of the most important factors in the health of diabetic patients. Evidence suggests that poor self-care is the leading cause of mortality and complications in diabetic patients; therefore, these individuals require improved self-care knowledge. With this background in mind, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of self-care training on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in diabetic patients.
