Clinical Trial Summary

Because of the unforeseen rate of increase in case numbers, the high rates of mortality and morbidity, and the increased socio economic load it causes, diabetes has become the most discussed chronic and widespread metabolic disease in Turkey, and throughout the World, there are focused efforts to find a solution. It is very important for a person to self-assesss and evaluate to draw a roadmap for improved outcomes in a disease with a high financial and moral burden. A nurse is not only a caregiver to patients, but also a person who guides them to increased engagement and motivation in the care of their illness. Integrative Nurse Coaching is gaining notoriaty as an effective method to improve patient engagament and motivation in self-responsibility for health. The Integrative Nurse Coach Academy in the USA carries out studies and trainings to further this improvement. With cooperation between United States and Turkish nurse colleagues, it aims to bring Integrative Nurse Coach practice to Turkey. The Integrative Nurse Coach uses the nursing process as a framework to guide nurse coaching practice. This requires a shift in traditional nursing terminology and meaning to understand and incorporate the patient's subjective experience as follows: from assessment to stablishing a relationship, identifying readiness for change and the resources available to the patient for change; from nursing diagnosis to identifying opportunities and issues; from outcomes to having the patient set the agenda for achievement of the patient's goals; from 3 planning to creating the structure of the coaching interaction; from intervention to empowering the patient to reach goals; and from evaluating to assisting the patient to determine the extent to which goals were achieved.

The Theory of Integrative Nurse Coaching (TINC) , developed by the Integrative Nurse Coach Association , sheds light on this point. The TINC encompasses many holistic nursing theories and contains three concepts and five components. The three concepts are healing, metaparadigm in nursing theory (nurse, person, health, environment), and patterns of knowing in nursing (personal, empirics, aesthetics, ethical, not knowing, sociopolitical. The TINC five components include Integrative Nurse Coach Self-Development (self-reflection, self-assessment, self-evaluation self-care), Integral Perspective and Change, Integrative Lifestyle Health and Well-Being, Awareness and Choice, and Listening With Heart The five components all have equal value and form the basis for the nurse coach professional practice model. There is a parallel process of self-development for both the nurse coach and the client. The SelfDevelopment component empowers individuals (including the nurse coach) to focus on their health and wellness from an integral perspective and to identify their individual knowledge, expertise, strengths, and resources, while recognizing the fluidity of the change. The TINC is designed to guide nurse coaching practice, education, research, and health care policy. The theory emphasizes, describes, and directs the practice of nurse coaching, a recognized holistic nursing modality. It has been seen that the TINC framework is very suitable for individuals with diabetes to provide their own management.

Data collection tools Data will be collected through the Sociodemographic data collection form, the hypoglycemıc attıtudes and behavıor scale, the risk perception scale.

Sociodemographic data collection form:

The form created by the researcher consists of questions about the sociodemographic information of the individual. In this section, besides questions about diabetes, there are questions such as gender, weight, height, age, marital status, educational status, occupation, economic status, and place of residence. The hypoglycemıc attıtudes and behavıor scale: The scale was developed by Polonsky. The 14-item 5-point Likert-type scale has 3 sub-dimensions. Anxiety, confidence, avoidance. The score of the sub-dimensions is calculated by dividing the number of items.

The risk perception scale: The scale was developed in 2007 and tested for validity and reliability. The scale is a self-report scale with 31 items that is easy to complete. Items 8,9,10,11,12, and 13 are scored inversely on the scale. The scale has 2 sub dimensions, namely risk knowledge and composite risk. These sub dimensions are evaluated separately in the scale and the total score from the scale is calculated through their total. The scores of the sub dimensions are calculated through dividing the total score by the number of items in the sub dimension. ;
