Abstract

Background and aims: The prevalence of chronic diseases, such as DIABETES MELLITUS, in elderly can be controlled with training self-control behaviors, especially in PEER GROUPs. Regarding to specific conditions and greater rate of complications in the elderly, the PEER GROUP SELF-CARE education is in specific importance among these patients. The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of PEER GROUP training on the SELF-CARE of elderly with diabetes in selected health centers of Isfahan.Methods: The present clinical trial compared 21 elderly patients with diabetes higher than 65 years old trained by a peer educator and 23 elderly patients received training by none PEER GROUP (trained by a researcher) for 4 months. The samples were randomly divided into two groups. The SELF-CARE behaviors were assessed by a questionnaire in 4 dimensions of diet, sport, glucose test, and diabetic drugs and the results were compared between groups.T-independent for statistical tests and to compare three times in a group was used ANOVA with repeated observations.Results: The total score of SELF-CARE in the test group increased significantly from 31±5.61 before intervention, to 42±7.01 after intervention and 35.55±5.11 one month after intervention, while the control group had no significant change. Different dimensions of the questionnaire were not statistically with a significant difference between groups, except in the field of sports was significant a month later intervention (P=0.05). There was a direct relationship between level of education and SELF-CARE score.Conclusion: According to the findings, training the elderly patients with diabetes by a PEER GROUP can promote their SELF-CARE. Therefore, training with a PEER GROUP is advised as an efficient method for improving SELF-CARE of elderly diabetic patients.
