Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to develop a group educational program to enhance SOC in these patients and to verify its effectiveness.An individual support method to enhance SOC was derived from two analyses: a literature review and individual interviews with nurses. The results of the literature review and individual interviews were integrated, and contents were extracted to support enhancement of comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness. The effectiveness of this program was validated by a quasi-randomized controlled clinical trial. Participants were 40 patients who were receiving a diabetes education hospitalization program in a general hospital. The SOC score significantly improved in the intervention group compared with the control group. There were no differences between groups in the subscale and PAID scores. An effective group intervention for enhancing SOC has been developed.
