Effect of Individualized Nursing Care on Diabetes Self-Management

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.
