The study was conducted as one-group and pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. The data were collected using the Introductory Questionnaire, the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ), and the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale-Self Report (PAIS-SR). It was determined that there was a positive increase in the total score of the DSMQ after the intervention, and a positive decrease in the total score of the PAIS-SR, and the difference between the scores were statistically significant (p < .05).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessadaptation to the diseaseMeleis' transition theorynursing approachself-managementtype 2 diabetesArticle3732662773883649010.1177/089431842412470142-s2.0-85195250914Q3WOS:001245012100009N/A
