Background and Aim: Patient education plays an important role in controlling diabetes. Non-attendance education is not limited by time and space but facilitates the relationship between patient and health-care providers, making it an effective, simple, and cheap method. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of non-attendance information therapy on the control of HbA1C in type 2 diabetic patients in Isfahan.
Materials and Methods: The applied study has a quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test and control group. Accessible population included type 2 diabetic patients of Isfahan Endocrine and Metabolism Research Center, from which 64 were randomly selected and allocated to the case and control groups. The preliminary data were collected using HbA1C test and collection data form. After the case group received the training package and SMS for 3 months, HbA1C was again measured in both groups. Data were analyzed in SPSS (version 20) using independent t-test, paired t-test, Mann-Whitney and chi-square tests.
Results: Results showed that diabetic patients’ HbA1C level in both case and control groups did not differ significantly (P<0.97). After the intervention, HbA1C level decreased significantly more than before the intervention (P<0.001). However, there was not a significant different in HbA1C level of the control group before and after the intervention (P<0.37). A significant difference was also observed between the HbA1C level of the two groups after the intervention (P=0.048).
Conclusion: Follow-up of education of patients with type 2 diabetes through training packages and SMS had significant effects on the control of patient's HbA1C. Given the low cost and high efficiency of this method, patient education is recommended to health-care providers and treatment groups.
