Brief Summary

Type and Aim of Research This research will be conducted as a randomised controlled experimental study design to test the effect of web-based diabetes education on the quality of life and self-care activities of individuals with Type 2 Diabetes. Place and Time of the Study This research will be conducted between September 2023 and March 2024 with individuals registered to the Cyprus Turkish Diabetes Association. Population and Sample of the Study The population of the study consisted of individuals with Type-2 diabetes who applied to the Cyprus Turkish Diabetes Centre. The sample of the study included individuals with type-2 diabetes who met the inclusion criteria at the Turkish Cypriot Diabetes Centre. Sample size was calculated using G Power statistical programme (n=74). In order to evaluate the effectiveness in the experimental and control groups, simple randomisation was performed to ensure the similarity of the two groups. Randomisation was applied after the pre-tests. The data of the study will be collected by Sociodemographic Data Form, Diabetes Specific Quality of Life Scale, Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire, Website Analysis and Measurement Inventory. The forms will be applied to the participants face to face. People in the experimental group, whose information was sent to the researcher, will receive reminder messages twice a week (Wednesday-Friday) during the 3-month follow-up period via the website. No intervention will be applied to the control group. The post-test will be applied.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Diabetes-Specific Quality of Life

  It consists of four subscales, including diabetes-related anxiety and social/occupational anxiety, and 46 items. Each item in the scale is scored between 1-5 points. In the dimension of psychological satisfaction with the treatment (questions 22-24), the answer "very satisfied" is calculated as 1 point, the answer "very dissatisfied" is calculated as 5 points, while in other dimensions the answer "never" is calculated as 1 point, and the answer "always" is calculated as 5 points. The total score of the scale varies between 46-230. The total scale score and each subscale score are divided by the number of items, and the scores of 1 are converted into 5 points to obtain the total scale score. According to the scale total scores, high scores indicate good quality of life. The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Yıldırım.

• Diabetes Self-Care Activities

  The Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire was developed by Toobert. In the survey, individuals; It is asked how many days (days/week) in the last seven days the patient performed self-care activities under the headings of diet, exercise, blood sugar test, foot care and smoking. The answers are marked as days (0-7) on a number line, and the 11th item, which only questions smoking, is stated as 0 - I do not smoke, 1 - I smoke (amount/piece of cigarettes smoked). Each subscale of the scale is scored separately and can be used independently. The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Coşansu.
