Telenursing System by Providing Health Education and Lifestyle Modification Among Diabetic Patients in Bangladesh

"Provide 'Health Education' for acquisition of self-management skills, acquiring knowledge of both the disease and self-care. By making self-supported decisions, the patients are able to manage their diet, exercise and medication.~Patients will start implementing diabetes management right after the group education. Each patient will develop monthly goal settings (behavior change plan) related to their diabetes management, daily practice them, and record the results every day on the self-monitoring notebook. The nurses call each patient on the scheduled day, ask/evaluate his/her behavior changes and monitored data, then make step-up goals for the next month. In addition, based on his/her knowledge and practice level, the nurses provide education using the education booklet. Patients and the nurses repeat these activities during 6 months."
