Abstract

Aim: To investigate the effect of family-centred education on treatment adherence, glycosylated haemoglobin and blood glucose level in patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Methods: Sixty patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus were randomly allocated into the intervention and control group. Data were collected using demographic and Modanloo Adherence to Treatment Questionnaires. The patients received 12 family-centred educational sessions in the intervention group.

Results: A significant difference was found in the mean score of treatment adherence between the two groups after the intervention (p < 0.001). The mean score of treatment adherence significantly increased in the intervention group after family-centred education. The mean score of Fasting Blood Glucose and Glycosylated Haemoglobin A1C significantly decreased in the intervention group after the intervention (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Relevant authorities need to consider family-centred education as one of the most important education methods in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus patients.
