Summary:Aim: This research aims to investigate the effect of motivational interview (MI) based diabetes selfmanagement education (DSME) interviews on self-efficacy, healthy lifestyle behavior development and A1C in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods: The research was conducted in the pre-test and post-test pattern in a single group. During the study, 66 adolescents with T1DM who were divided into six groups underwent six sessions of MI-based DSME interviews. In the study, the self-efficacy scale and healthy lifestyle behavior development scale were used before and after the MI-based DSME, and A1C measurements were made. Results: There was a significant increase in the total score of MI-based self-efficacy scale and total score of healthy lifestyle behaviors development scale after DSME compared to the period before the interview. A1C value was observed to decline after the interview but this was not significant. Conclusion: It was reached that MI-based DSME interviews increased self-efficacy in T1DM adolescents, and favorably promoted healthy lifestyle behaviors and decreased A1C. By using MI-based DSME in the clinical setting, nurses can change negative health behaviors of adolescents with T1DM to gain healthy behaviors and increase their self-efficacy and let them actively participate in the self-management of T1DM. Therefore, it is recommended to use MI-based DSME for fulfilling and continuing glycemic control.
