Mobile Technology and Motivational Interviewing in Type 2 Diabetes Patients

June 24, 2023 updated by: Nermin Kılıç Barmanpek, Inonu University

The Effect of Motivational Interview Empowered by Mobile Technology on Self Management, Quality of Life and Satisfaction Level in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Type 2 diabetes patients were divided into experimental and control groups. Patients in the control group received regular nursing care, while those in the experimental group received MI, which is empowered by game-based mobile technology. Pre-test, post-test and follow-up test self-management, quality of life and satisfaction levels scores were determined.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A randomized controlled and experimental study design was used to conduct this research on 64 patients with Type 2 DM. Purpose of this study was to explore how motivational interviewing powered by game-based mobile technology affected self-management, quality of life, and satisfaction in Type 2 diabetes patients.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Experimental Group
Pre-test data were collected from patients with Patient Information and Follow-up Form, Diabetes Self-Management Scale (DSMQ) and Short Form-36 Quality of Life Scale (SF-36). After the pre-test, a educational program and a game-based mobile technology application were carried out for 4 weeks, 2 days a week at intervals. After the educational program were completed, motivational interviews were conducted once a week for 4 weeks. In this process, it was ensured that the game-based mobile technology application continued. Post-test data were collected with DSMQ and SF-36 at 2 months (8 weeks after the pre-test). After the post-test, the patients were followed up for 4 weeks. After the follow, with the Patient Information and Follow-up Form, DSMQ, SF-36, and the Satisfaction Questionnaire the follow-test data was collected.
Education program, game-based mobile technology and motivational interview were applied to the patients in the experimental group. The patients' self-management, quality of life, and satisfaction level scores for the intervention were determined.
No Intervention: Control Group
Pre-test data were collected from patients with Patient Information and Follow-up Form, Diabetes Self-Management Scale DSMQ) and Short Form-36 Quality of Life Scale (SF-36). After the pre-test data were collected, no intervention was applied to the patients for 3 months (12 weeks), except for routine nursing care. Posttest data were collected with DSMQ and SF-36 2 months (8 weeks) after the pretest data. After the last test, the patients were followed up for 4 weeks, and 3 months (12 weeks) after the start of the study, the Patient Information and Follow-up Form (only the parts containing the features related to the disease and metabolic control variables), DSMQ and SF-36 Scale and follow-up test data were collected.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
DSMQ
Time Frame: Last 8 weeks
The scale is of a four-point Likert type. The scale has 4 sub-dimensions as "Glucose Management, Diet Control, Physical Activity, Health-Care Use" and a total score. The lowest score of the scale is 0 points and the highest score is 10 points. The higher the score, the higher the diabetes self-management.
Last 8 weeks
SF-36
Time Frame: Last 4 weeks
The scale consists of 36 items and 8 sub-dimensions. 8 sub-dimensions have 2 summary sub-dimensions as "Physical Health and Mental Health". There is no total score in the scale. A score between 0-100 is evaluated with sub-dimensions (0: Poor Health, 100: Good Health). Low scores on the scale indicate poor health, while high scores indicate good health.
