In this quasi-experimental study, 78 people with DM were selected by convenience sampling method. In
the first stage of study, the educational program was compiled and executed on six information sessions. To present the
informative content, a video projector and different lecturing methods including questions and answers, dynamic group
discussion and different educational materials such as pamphlets and CDs were employed. After one month, the
efficiency of the educational program was determined by using the same questioner. Data were analyzed using
paired sample T-test and McNemar test.
