About

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of planned education given to individuals with diabetes mellitus who had myocardial infarction on healthy lifestyle behaviors and diabetes self-management.

Full description

Many coronary heart patients have diabetes. For this reason, it is thought that patients need education in order to gain healthy lifestyle behaviors and to provide self-management of diabetes, which is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease. When the literature was examined, no study could be found that focused on diabetes patients with myocardial infarction and emphasized the importance of patient education. It is thought that this study will make an important contribution in terms of patient education to be given to individuals with diabetes mellitus who have had myocardial infarction.
