Introduction: Adherence of type II diabetic patients to treatment is very important in preventing the complications of this disease. Furthermore, a motivational interview is an intervention considered to change health behaviors. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine the impact of the motivational interview based on self-care on the treatment adherence of type II diabetic patients hospitalized in Nabi Akram hospital in Zahedan, Iran, in 2018.
Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 40 diabetic patients were selected and randomly divided into intervention (n=20) and control (n=20) groups. Data collection tools for this study were demographic questionnaire and adherence questionnaire in patients with chronic diseases. The intervention group received four sessions of individual self-care motivational interview training. Moreover, the control group received similar training content during four sessions in the usual face-to-face manner without applying the principles of motivational interview. Adherence was measured in both groups 8 weeks after the termination of intervention. Then, the collected data were analyzed by the independent t-test and analysis of covariance using SPSS software (23).
Results: After the intervention, the mean adherence score of diabetic patients in the intervention group (150/57) was significantly higher than the mean score of the control group (141/27) (P<.001).
Conclusion: Motivational interview training based on self-care has positive impact on the adherence of type II diabetic patients to treatment. Therefore, the nurses are suggested to apply the principles of motivational interview while training these patients.

Introduction: The most common endocrine disease in childhood and adolescence is type I or insulin-dependent diabetes. Mothers are particularly anxious and worried because of the uncertainty in the role of motherhood and the future of the child. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of educational programs on the anxiety of mothers having children with type I diabetes.
Methods: The present semi-experimental research was conducted with a pretest-posttest design on 40 mothers with type 1 diabetic children. By being present in the research environment, encouraging the mothers to participate, and considering the criteria for entering the study, the researcher selected the subjects using the purposive sampling method and randomly placed them in two intervention and control groups. The number of sessions based on the needs and conditions of the patient's mother was considered to be at least three 30-minute sessions with an interval of every other day. The data collection tool was a two-part questionnaire consisting of a demographic information form and the 40-item Spiel Berger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire have been confirmed in various studies. The obtained data were analyzed in the SPSS 21 software with the help of descriptive statistics. The significance level in this study was 0.05.
Results: The data analysis showed that the two groups did not differ significantly in terms of child's age, gender, maternal age, maternal education, number of children, and duration of diabetes. The mean score of dimensions and the total anxiety score of the study samples in the intervention group were improved after the intervention; however, this difference was not significant.
Conclusion: Mothers of children with diabetes in the intervention group had lower scores in anxiety and its dimensions after the training. In other words, the intervention improved the anxiety scores of mothers. According to the results, it can be suggested that at the beginning of children's hospitalization in the ward, their educational needs and their mothers' needs be checked and the educational content be prepared and adjusted accordingly to reduce mothers' anxiety.
