Evaluation of self-efficacy educational interventions in patients with diabetes: A systematic review

Background & Aim: Self-efficacy plays a central role in individuals’ behavior change. Previous
reviews of diabetes education conducted among participants with diabetes have shown the
effectiveness of diabetes education and some studies indicated that an educational intervention
supported with theory showed desirable results in blood glucose levels. However, the studies did not
analyze the components of the intervention. And no studies have examined the effectiveness and
characteristics of a diabetes educational intervention based on a theory. The purpose of this study
is to evaluate the effectiveness of diabetes self-efficacy educational interventions in patients with
diabetes and to determine the effective components of the interventions.
Methods: Six databases were systematically searched for studies on the metabolic controls, diabetes self-efficacy, behavior, knowledge,
psychological indicators and quality of life of diabetes self-efficacy educational interventions for patients with diabetes. 16 studies
published between 2006 and 2017 met the inclusion criteria.
Results: Glycosylated hemoglobin A1C, fasting blood glucose, diabetes self-efficacy, behavior and knowledge were identified as
positive results in most studies. Only five studies used the complete four sources of information, and eight studies assessed both
the self-efficacy and behavior of participants based on self-efficacy theory. Performance accomplishments, vicarious experience and
verbal persuasion were predominantly employed. Such strategies as goal setting, practicing self-management skills, participants’
return-demonstration, behavior recording, peer modeling, verbal persuasion by nurses and face to face delivery were preferred in the
included studies.
Conclusion: Individuals with diabetes are likely to benefit from diabetes self-efficacy educational interventions. The four sources
of information and outcome assessments based on self-efficacy theory were insufficient in most studies. Future work is required to
develop an effective diabetes self-efficacy educational intervention and further determine the effects.
