Client Education Plan for Improving Diabetes Management during Primary Health Care in Saudi Arabia

Diabetes is a worldwide health problem that has a high prevalence rate in the Saudi Arabia community. These high numbers have encouraged Primary Health Care (PHC) services in Saudi to increase clients' awareness about management of diabetes. The management of diabetes focuses on diabetes information, lifestyle alterations, diet, exercise, and medications. Several studies the significance of the diabetic education programs in reducing diabetes complications, which increase diabetes treatment costs. PHC centers play a significant role in providing diabetic educational programs. As a result, the PHC centers need to have an effective diabetes educational program to help RNs to teach clients with diabetes properly by following clear educational guidelines. RNs will have a significant role by using the educational program to increase clients' awareness about diabetes management and motivating them. This educational program will help PHC managers, RNs, and other health care providers change their behaviors to assist clients to change their behavior of managing their diabetes. This project proposes an educational plan for improving diabetes management during PHC centers in the southern region of Saudi Arabia. In this project, Lewin's change theory was utilized to support the planned change.
