The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of motivational interviewing as based on Pender’s health promotion model (HPM) on diabetes self-management behavior among individuals with Type 2 diabetes. Apart from their routine care, the individuals in the intervention group were given a 30–45-minute motivational interview based on Pender’s HPM once a week for three months. Statistically significant differences were determined between the groups in the total score of the scales and its sub-dimensions (p <.05). The intervention applied in the present study can be used as an effective and easy method through which to develop and maintain diabetes self-management behaviors.
