Abstract

The effectiveness of a self-instructional module (SIM) on knowledge regarding home care management of diabetes mellitus among adults in Visnagar is of interest. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was used, with 50 diabetic patients selected through non-probability convenience sampling. A structured questionnaire assessed knowledge before and after the intervention. The results showed a significant improvement in post-test scores, demonstrating the effectiveness of SIM in enhancing diabetes-related knowledge. The mean pre-test score was 12.5 ± 3.2, which increased to 20.8 ± 2.8 post-intervention (p < 0.05). Thus, SIM is an effective tool for diabetes education, especially in low-resource settings and can significantly improve self-care practices and disease management among diabetic patients.

Keywords: Effectiveness; diabetes mellitus; home care management; self-instructional module.
