Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: It will be formed in the intervention group in order to create group coordination in WhatsApp. Group meetings will be held in groups of 30 people. In order to implement the psycho-spiritual approach in the intervention group, 10 sessions of 45-90 minutes each week will be held by a psychologist and a psycho-nurse with experience in the field of psycho-spiritual approach and with the coordination of patients in a group. Considering that the conditions of diabetic patients are special, it is difficult for them to participate in face-to-face classes. Therefore, they may not be able to participate in the class in person. In addition, if they gather in one place for training, some diseases may be transmitted and become a problem. Therefore, according to the mentioned cases, it was preferred that the training be virtual, but still, a decision will be made according to the conditions of the patients in this field. The spiritual approach is written by using the content of the chapter on spiritual methods to relieve the pain of patients from the book of spiritual care. Dr. Mino Asadzandi, a member of the academic faculty of the Baqiyatullah University of Medical Sciences and the Medicine and Religion Research Center, will be implemented. Also, the psychological approach will be implemented using the content of the group psychotherapy book (theoretical and practical basics) by Yalom and Lashech translated by Mahshid Yasai. The first session is for familiarization and introduction, sessions 2 to 4 are designed for a spiritual approach, and sessions 5 to 10 will be designed for a psychological approach.
