Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that cannot be fully cured, thereby needing continuous treatment. As poor lifestyles increase in number and variation, the prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing every year. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of motivational interviewing on the self-efficacy of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. This study is an experimental study using Non-Randomized Control Group Pretest Posttest Design. The population was type 2 diabetes mellitus patients receiving treatment at Polres Tuban Polyclinic. Sample collection was performed purposively with a sample size of 58 patients. This study utilized univariate and bivariate analyses using the t-test for two dependent means. The results of statistical analyses showed the effects of motivational interviewing on the self-efficacy of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in which there was an increase in the mean score of the intervention group from 27.3 to 36.8 (p=0.000). We concluded that motivational interviewing has an effect on improving the self-efficacy of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Motivational Interviewing With Pender’s Health Promotions Model: Diabetics Self-Management Behavior

“…The fact that this score was much lower, especially among the control group, suggests that as physical exercise requires time and requires behavioral changes, the participants did not have enough motivation to instigate this behavior change. Similar studies to the present research have also demonstrated an increase in the scores of the Self-Efficacy Scale and its subdimensions (Lestari et al, 2022). Regarding the initiation and maintenance of self-efficacy in diabetes management, associated cognitive processes and their effects via the employment of Pender-based motivational interviewing, it is suggested that perceived self-management regarding diabetes management, the effects of important activity, and increased self-efficacy perceptions have been facilitated by inventions designed to invoke healthy lifestyle behaviors.…”
