Background of the Study: Lifestyle modifications, such as diet changes, physical activity, and weight management, are cornerstone interventions for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and are crucial for achieving glycemic control (Alhassan et al., 2023). Nurses, as key healthcare providers in the management of diabetes, can play a pivotal role in delivering lifestyle modification programs that promote healthy behaviors among diabetic patients (Abdulazeez et al., 2024). In Sokoto State, where diabetes rates are increasing and healthcare resources may be limited, nurse-led programs could be a cost-effective approach to improving glycemic control among patients with T2DM.
Research has shown that nurse-led programs, which include education on healthy eating, physical activity, and weight management, have a significant positive impact on glycemic control and overall quality of life for diabetic patients (Oluwaseun et al., 2023). However, the specific effectiveness of nurse-led lifestyle modification programs in Sokoto State has not been extensively studied. This study aims to assess the impact of such programs on glycemic control among diabetic patients in Sokoto State hospitals.
Statement of the Problem: Although lifestyle modification is an essential part of diabetes management, many diabetic patients in Sokoto State struggle to implement and maintain these changes. Nurse-led programs could provide the necessary support and guidance to facilitate lifestyle changes, but the impact of these programs on glycemic control remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of nurse-led lifestyle modification programs on improving glycemic control in diabetic patients.
Objectives of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of nurse-led lifestyle modification programs on glycemic control among diabetic patients in Sokoto State hospitals.
- To assess the level of participation and engagement of diabetic patients in nurse-led lifestyle modification programs.
- To identify factors influencing the success of lifestyle modification programs in achieving glycemic control.
Research Questions:
- How effective are nurse-led lifestyle modification programs in improving glycemic control among diabetic patients in Sokoto State hospitals?
- What factors contribute to patients’ engagement in nurse-led lifestyle modification programs?
- What barriers hinder the success of nurse-led lifestyle modification programs in improving glycemic control?
Research Hypotheses:
- Nurse-led lifestyle modification programs significantly improve glycemic control among diabetic patients.
- Patients who actively engage in nurse-led lifestyle modification programs achieve better glycemic control than those who do not participate.
- Environmental and psychological factors significantly influence the effectiveness of nurse-led lifestyle modification programs.
Scope and Limitations of the Study: This study will focus on diabetic patients in Sokoto State hospitals, evaluating the impact of nurse-led lifestyle modification programs on glycemic control. Data will be collected through patient surveys, blood glucose level assessments, and interviews. Limitations include potential biases in patient reporting and challenges in controlling for confounding factors such as medication adherence.
Definitions of Terms:
- Glycemic control: The management of blood glucose levels within a target range to prevent complications of diabetes.
- Nurse-led lifestyle modification programs: Programs designed and delivered by nurses to help patients adopt healthier lifestyles, including changes to diet, exercise, and weight management.
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM): A chronic condition characterized by insulin resistance and elevated blood glucose levels.
