Seventy-two participants were recruited through purposive sampling and divided equally into intervention and control groups, with 36 individuals in each group. The intervention group received education through a health belief model-guided mobile application, while the control group utilized a pocketbook for educational purposes. Participants’ skills in preventing hypoglycemia were assessed before and after a two-month intervention period using a validated questionnaire. Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests, with statistical significance set at p<0.05.</span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style=font-size:11pt><span style=line-height:normal><span style=font-family:Calibri,sans-serif><strong style=font-family:Times New Roman,serif><span style=font-size:10.0pt><span style=font-family:Cambria,serif><span style=color:#4f81bd>Findings:</span></span></span></strong><span style=font-size:10.0pt><span style=font-family:Cambria,serif> The intervention group demonstrated a notable improvement in hypoglycemia prevention skills, with mean scores increasing from 48.11±6.17 at baseline to 55.89±6.92 post-intervention (p=0.0001). In contrast, the control group showed only a modest increase, from 43.17±4.75 to 45.39±5.93 (p=0.0001). Post-intervention comparisons revealed a statistically significant difference in skill levels between the two groups (p=0.0001).</span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style=font-size:11pt><span style=line-height:normal><span style=font-family:Calibri,sans-serif><strong style=font-family:Times New Roman,serif><span style=font-size:10.0pt><span style=font-family:Cambria,serif><span style=color:#4f81bd>Conclusion:</span></span></span></strong><span style=font-size:10.0pt><span style=font-family:Cambria,serif> The </span></span><span lang=EN-GB style=font-size:10.0pt><span style=font-family:Cambria,serif>health belief model</span></span><span style=font-size:10.0pt><span style=font-family:Cambria,serif>-based education model effectively improves the ability of </span></span><span lang=EN-GB style=font-size:10.0pt><span style=font-family:Cambria,serif>diabetes mellitus</span></span> <span style=font-size:10.0pt><span style=font-family:Cambria,serif>patients to prevent hypoglycemia.</span></span></span></span></span></h4> Diabetes Mellitus,Hypoglycemia,Health Belief Model,Health Education,Mobile Health, 147 153 http://hehp.modares.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-79032-2&slc_lang=en&sid=4
