Abstract

Diabetes as the most common metabolic disorder is an important global challenge. Diabetes needs self-care for one's entire life.

The aim of study was detecting the effect of health belief model program on decreasing blood sugar level in diabetic patients of Zahedan city in 2011.

After choosing 138 diabetic type 2 patients from Zahedan diabetic center, they were divided into two random groups (case and control groups each of them 69 patients). Data was collected using a questionnaire based on the health belief model, and checklist related to patient practices. Reliability and validity of questionnaire was examined. Data collected before the intervention and three and six months after educational method intervention were analyzed by the SPSS software.

According to the results there is a significant statistical difference between average numbers of models before and after educational intervention (p < 0.001). Also HbA1c and FBS after educational intervention were lower (p < 0001).

Applying the HBM Model proved is very effective in developing an educational program for diabetics, to control their blood sugar. Besides such programs, follow up education for controlling and monitoring are highly recommended.
