Abstract
Health coaching is a process to help an individual understand their health behavior problems and change their health behaviors according to their health conditions. This study involved quasi-experimental research using a two-group pretest-posttest design, aiming to investigate the effects of a health coaching program on diabetic patients’ self-care behaviors. The subjects were 38 people diagnosed with diabetes mellitus over the period of six months. These were selected using match-paired sampling and equally divided into two groups: controlled and experimental groups. Research instruments included a health coaching program for diabetic patients and a questionnaire assessing self-care behaviors with a reliability of.70. During a period of experimentation, the patients in the experimental group participated in health coaching, lasting five weeks, by face-to-face communication three times and by phone two times. Self-care behaviors were assessed before and after health coaching participation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon sign rank test. The findings revealed that after health coach participation, the experimental group showed a higher level of self-care behaviors compared to those before participation (p<.01) and those in the controlled group (p<.001). This finding indicates that health coaching should be integrated into diabetic healthcare services to improve patients’ self- management skills.
