The effect of health belief education on metabolic indices of patients with diabetes type II living in rural areas.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDiabetes is responsible for a large percentage of mortality rate and disabilities. Health care education, particularly in rural regions with low facilities, makes patients involved in their caring, to attenuate the load of the disease. The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of health belief-based educational intervention on metabolic indices in patients with diabetes type II in rural areas. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was carried out as a quasi-experimental during January-June 2018 on 48 diabetic patients in the rural areas of Kermanshah province of Iran. The patients were grouped into intervention and control groups. The intervention was conducted based on the health belief model in six sessions. Data were collected using a demographics questionnaire and a metabolic indices checklist before and 3 months after the education. Data were analyzed using SPSS24.
resultsIn this study, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographics and diabetes metabolic indices (
conclusionThe results indicate that education based on the health belief model can significantly reduce blood glucose levels in diabetic patients, with some lasting effects. Given the chronic nature of diabetes and the challenges of providing care in rural areas, it is recommended that educational programs for diabetic patients in these regions be designed using the health belief model approach. In addition, further studies are suggested to explore the impact of such educational programs on diabetic patients in urban settings.
