Diabetes is a chronic illness that requires continuing medical care and patient self-management education to reduce the risk of long-term and acute complications. The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of diabetes self-management education on quality of life in elderly females with diabetic mellitus (type 2) in Shiraz, Iran, 2013.
The study was conducted from January to April 2014 at the Jahandidegan center, a day center affiliated to Shiraz welfare organization. The instrument used for the study was the Quality of life Questionnaire (WHO QOL-BREF) SF26. After an explanation of the aim of the study by the researcher, 90 participants with all the required criteria and G.H.Q score ? 23 were selected as the study sample for the intervention. Participants divided into experimental and control groups, and completed WHO QOL-BREF before the intervention, 2 and 3 months after the last session of education.
It is shown that 2 and 3 months after the intervention, QOL scores had a significant difference between the two groups. In other words, the training sessions improved the score of QOL in the intervention group (P < 0.001) versus control group (P = 0.5).
The Behavioral Intervention Program significantly improved the quality of life outcomes of the diabetic elderly females. Thus, it is concluded that the diabetic individuals can be significantly improved following instruction by health care providers.
糖尿病是一种慢性疾病，需要持续的医疗护理和患者自我管理教育，以降低长期和急性并发症的风险。本研究的目的是确定2013年在伊朗设拉子开展的糖尿病自我管理教育对2型糖尿病老年女性生活质量的有效性。
该研究于2014年1月至4月在设拉子福利组织下属的日间中心贾汉迪德根中心进行。研究使用的工具是生活质量问卷（WHO QOL-BREF）SF26。在研究人员解释研究目的后，90名符合所有要求标准且一般健康问卷（G.H.Q）得分≥23的参与者被选为干预研究样本。参与者分为实验组和对照组，并在干预前、教育最后一节课后的2个月和3个月完成WHO QOL-BREF。
结果显示，干预后2个月和3个月，两组的生活质量得分存在显著差异。换句话说，培训课程提高了干预组的生活质量得分（P < 0.001），而对照组（P = 0.5）则没有。
行为干预计划显著改善了糖尿病老年女性的生活质量结果。因此，可以得出结论，糖尿病患者在接受医疗保健提供者的指导后可以得到显著改善。
