“…However, the self-efficacy level of T2DM patients is mostly unsatisfactory, and they generally show poor self-confidence in fighting diabetes. In a foreign study [6], it was found that only 16.8% of diabetic patients have high level of self-efficacy; and all of them are in the middle level [7] [8], and relevant scholars in China have also reached the same conclusions from the related study [9] [10], which shows that most of the self-efficacy of T2DM patients in China is in the middle level. This means that most of the diabetic patients have a low level of self-efficacy in believing in themselves.…”

“…Many studies [7] [32] [33] [34] have shown that self-efficacy is correlated with age, gender, literacy, economic status, and region of residence. The reasons for this may include the following: 1) Age: Young and middle-aged T2DM patients are under both social and family pressure as pillars of the family and society, and this group is more susceptible to external influences and may not spend more time on glycaemic management.…”

Self-efficacy plays an important role in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, and it runs through the whole process of diabetes treatment, which is conducive to controlling and delaying the occurrence and development of complications, as well as improving the quality of life of patients. This paper mainly describes the concept of self-efficacy, the current situation of self-efficacy of diabetic patients at home and abroad, the functional aspects and their influencing factors, so as to take relevant measures on how to improve self-efficacy. It aims to provide a theoretical basis for the development of self-efficacy interventions for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

“…It is particularly important and crucial that the patients can understand the instructions related to the drugs prescribed for their treatment ( 8 , 9 ). The low health literacy of type II diabetes patients about diet and adequate physical activity are known as the most important predisposing factors for developing complications, and the mortality of patients with type II diabetes increases since more than 95% of the care measures are accomplished by the patients ( 10 , 11 ).…”

“…The provision of proper conditions for training and increasing the knowledge of patients can decrease the costs of the health system. Some significant steps in reducing treatment costs include self-care programs and persuading type II diabetes patients to adhere to such programs ( 10 ). The cost-effectiveness method is an economic evaluation approach that focuses on the method to achieve objectives.…”

Background Type II diabetes is considered a chronic disease that influences the affected person's quality of life and imposes a high economic burden on the patient and society. The enhancement of health literacy seems essential for self-management and disease control in patients with type II diabetes. Consequently, this study was performed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of enhanced health literacy in type II diabetes patients. Methods This study was of quantitative and economic evaluation type. A population of 232 patients was selected among those referred to the Tafihan Shiraz clinic based on the quality of entry and exit. The health literacy educational intervention was carried out for three months. In order to collect information, researchers used the SF36 questionnaire and the checklist of costs. The Cost Effectiveness Ratio (CER) and Incremental Cost Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) were calculated. Moreover, the costs of each unit of increasing the quality of life before and after the intervention were calculated. A decision was made to determine the cost-effectiveness of the intervention. Results According to the results, 40% of the participants were females, and 34.5% were 30-40 years old. Examination of the quality of life in patients before the intervention indicated that the mean and standard deviation of the patients’ quality of life before the intervention was 18.43±44.99, and the mean and standard deviation of the quality of life after the intervention was 49.57±16.21. Moreover, the patients’ quality of life increased after the educational intervention. The total direct medical costs were $717,484 and $685,620 before and after the intervention, respectively. The total indirect medical costs were $604,122 and $493,011 before and after the intervention, respectively. Moreover, the total indirect costs were $122,535 and $122,119 before and after the intervention, respectively. The study was cost-effective with CER=0.9 and ICER= - 140,000 per increase in the quality of life. Conclusion Improving health literacy can have a range of benefits and improve the quality of life of patients with type II diabetes and reduce their treatment costs, and thereby, this may be seen as an effective step toward the recovery of patients with type II diabetes.

“…Medina et al (2022) found no signi cant relationship between functional health literacy and self-e cacy in diabetes, and they also reported moderate functional health literacy and high self-e cacy[67]. However, studies by Shahbazi et al (2018), Ra zadeh et al (2015), Zareipour et al (2021), and Mszarei et al (2021) found a positive and signi cant correlation between self-e cacy and overall health literacy and its components, and showed that as people's health literacy increases, their self-e cacy also increases[68][69][70][71].…”

Background and Objective: Type 1 diabetes mellitus one of the biggest health concerns around the world, is difficult to manage during adolescence. Among the non-medical methods of controlling this disease is empowerment through self-efficacy. Poor self-efficacy leads to social anxiety and ultimately deficiencies in diabetes. There is also a correlation among health literacy, self-efficacy, and social anxiety. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the impact of a literacy promotion training program based on social learning theory on the self-efficacy and social anxiety of adolescents with T1DM. Methods The current research is a semi-experimental type that was carried out with the cooperation of 66 adolescents aged 15–18 years with type 1 diabetes in Iran (Tehran, 2022). It has control and intervention groups. The endocrinology and diabetes clinics of the intervention and control groups were randomly selected in a multi-stage manner (endocrine and diabetes clinic of children's medical center hospital for the control group and endocrine and diabetes clinic of Mofid hospital for the intervention group) and the participants were selected by Simple Random Sampling method (draw). The training program designed based on Bandura’s social learning theory was used to teach adolescents during seven consecutive sessions of 30–45 minutes during one week. Questionnaires were completed before and one month after the intervention. Data were analysed in SPSS-25 software. Findings: The intervention for adolescents with T1DM in intervention group compared to the control group had a significant effect on improve health literacy (P < 0.001), self-efficacy (P < 0.001), and social anxiety (P < 0.05). Discussion and Conclusion: The results can also be used to improve the capabilities of adolescents with T1DM, reduce and prevent disease complications, and develop operational-educational programs in the centers from which these adolescents receive various services.
