This increase is also of concern to upper-middle-income countries such as Thailand. Diabetes mellitus develops gradually and is often undetected in the early stages, leading to long-term damage of several organs in the body with related complications. Diabetes self-management education (DSME) has been found to improve knowledge, self-care behaviours, glycaemic control, and quality of life for Thai individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Thailand is a country in which family members have a fundamental role in assisting other family members in sickness and in health. Family-oriented interventions, therefore, have the potential to enhance health outcomes for individuals with T2DM. Randomised controlled trials conducted on family-carers of individuals with diabetes in Thailand are limited and none has investigated the potential benefit of a family-oriented DSME program, which includes the family-carer in the intervention. Aims: The primary aim of this study was to test the effectiveness of a family-oriented, theoretically derived (based on self-efficacy) DSME for Thai individuals living with T2DM. The specific objectives of this research are to develop and deliver a family-oriented DSME for Thai individuals with T2DM and carers; to evaluate the effectiveness of a family-oriented DSME in improving diabetes knowledge, glycaemic control, self-efficacy, self-management, and quality of life among Thai individuals with T2DM; to develop and test the validity and reliability of the family-carer diabetes management self-efficacy scale (F-DMSES) that measures diabetes management self-efficacy among family-carers of Thai individuals with T2DM; and, finally, to measure and compare diabetes management self-efficacy between individuals with T2DM and their carers.
