Abstract
Abstract: Diabetic kidney disease (nephropathy) occurs in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and decreased kidney
function that can be caused by many different causes, including hypertensive nephrosclerosis and acute kidney failure
that has not been resolved. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of self-management education program among
patients at risk for diabetic nephropathy. Research Design: A quasi-experimental design was used. Setting: The study
was conducted in Ain Shams University Hospital at diabetes outpatient clinic. Sample: A purposive sample comprised;
Total number of 96 patients, their age ranged from 25 to 50 years, Diagnosed patients at risk for diabetic nephropathy
on 1st, 2nd and 3rd stages from medical record. Tools: for data collection, 1st tool: An Interviewing questionnaire for
the clients divided into three parts; Socio-demographic data, Past and present medical history related to diabetes
mellitus and patients knowledge regarding diabetic nephropathy (pre/post self-management program). 2nd tool:
Healthy practices assessment for patients at risk for diabetic nephropathy sessions (pre/post self-management program).
Results: 46.8% of patients aged 45- ˂50 years, and 53.2 % were female. Regarding the type of diabetes, 63.6% of
patients had Type II diabetes. Conclusion: There have been extremely statistically significant differences between
patients` knowledge, their practice and their kidney health pre/post self-management education program. Overall, the
study has indicated that diabetes self-management education program had a positive effect on the improvement of selfcare
practices for patients at risk for diabetic nephropathy, which is attributable to better effect of patients` condition.
Recommendations: raising community awareness and social support for diabetic patients through designing family
program that have potentially important positive influence on patients’ self management.
