Current healthcare practices are geared toward standardized policies and procedures that are intended to guide the practice of all members of the healthcare professions, especially the practice of nurses. Instead of using predefined practices, nurses often choose shortcuts or workarounds to complete daily work in healthcare institutions.

The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of motivational interviewing as based on Pender's health promotion model (HPM) on diabetes self-management behavior among individuals with Type 2 diabetes. Apart from their routine care, the individuals in the intervention group were given a 30-45-minute motivational interview based on Pender's HPM once a week for three months. Statistically significant differences were determined between the groups in the total score of the scales and its sub-dimensions (p < .05). The intervention applied in the present study can be used as an effective and easy method through which to develop and maintain diabetes self-management behaviors.

This study aimed to determine how the nursing approach based on Meleis's transition theory affects the self-management and adjustment to the illness among newly diagnosed diabetic patients.

It was determined that there was a positive increase in the total score of the DSMQ after the intervention, and a positive decrease in the total score of the PAIS-SR, and the difference between the scores were statistically significant (p < .05).
