However, the results lead us to strongly recommend
nurses and/or other healthcare providers to utilize this
program, particularly those working in an outpatient
setting in Indonesian contexts. In addition, the authors
recommend the replication of the design of this study in
multiple settings with larger samples, including older
subjects and using longer durations of intervention and
using observations of actual DFCB as the data
collection method in order to further clarify the efficacy
of SM programs, to strengthen the evidence in their
favor and to maximize the benefits for DM patients
across Indonesian and on a global basis.
