The Role of Self-Efficacy Program for Self-Management of People With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Mixed Methods Exploratory Study

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a self-efficacy program can improve diabetes self-management behaviors in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus attending primary health centers (Puskesmas) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does a self-efficacy program improve diabetes self-management behaviors (measured by the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities/SDSCA)?
  • Does a self-efficacy program enhance diabetes self-efficacy (measured by the Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale)? Researchers will compare participants receiving the self-efficacy program (intervention group) to a waiting-list control group to see if the program leads to greater improvements in self-management and self-efficacy.

Participants will:

  • Attend four weekly group sessions (60-90 minutes each) covering diabetes knowledge, goal setting, self-monitoring, and peer support
  • Complete questionnaires on diabetes self-management and self-efficacy at baseline and after the intervention period
  • Selected participants in the intervention group will take part in semi-structured interviews about their experience with the program

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • individuals diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus for a minimum of one year;
  • exhibiting low or moderate scores on the Diabetes Self-management Scale;
  • no prior experience with similar programs or concurrent participation in other related activities

Study Plan

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Self-Efficacy Program Group
Participants at the intervention Puskesmas received a structured self-efficacy program consisting of four weekly group sessions (60-90 minutes each) delivered by a trained nurse researcher. Sessions covered diabetes knowledge enhancement, personal goal setting, self-monitoring techniques, peer experience sharing, problem-solving strategies, progress review, and relapse prevention planning. The program was grounded in Bandura's Self-Efficacy Theory, targeting mastery experience, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, and physiological/emotional states.
Behavioral: Self-Efficacy Program for Diabetes Self-Management
A structured group-based behavioral intervention grounded in Bandura's Self-Efficacy Theory. The program consisted of four weekly sessions (60-90 minutes each) facilitated by a trained nurse researcher. Session 1 focused on diabetes knowledge enhancement and personal goal setting. Session 2 covered self-monitoring techniques and identifying barriers to self-care. Session 3 involved peer experience sharing and problem-solving strategies. Session 4 included review of progress, reinforcement of skills, and relapse prevention planning. The intervention targeted four sources of self-efficacy: mastery experience, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, and physiological/emotional states.
No Intervention: Waiting-List Control Group
Participants at the control Puskesmas received usual care as routinely provided by the primary health center (Puskesmas). No additional intervention was given during the study period. Participants in this group were offered the self-efficacy program after data collection was completed.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Diabetes Self-Management
Time Frame: Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention (after 4 weeks)
Measured using the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaire, which assesses self-care behaviors across five domains: general diet, specific diet, exercise, blood glucose testing, and foot care. Scores represent the number of days per week (0-7) participants performed each self-care activity.
Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention (after 4 weeks)
Diabetes Self-Efficacy
Time Frame: Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention (after 4 weeks)
Measured using the Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale (DSES), which assesses participants' confidence in performing diabetes self-management tasks. The scale uses a Likert-type response format with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy.
Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention (after 4 weeks)
Participants' Experiences with the Self-Efficacy Program
Time Frame: Post-intervention (after completion of the 4-week program)
Qualitative data collected through semi-structured interviews with a purposive subsample of intervention group participants. Interviews explored participants' perceptions, experiences, and perceived impact of the self-efficacy program on their diabetes self-management. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Post-intervention (after completion of the 4-week program)
