Implementation of peer group support activity was 60 minutes meeting, once a week for totally 6 weeks. The datas were analyzed by Wilcoxon signed rank test and Spearman's Rho test with significance values p≤ 0.05.
Result: Self efficacy, self care activities, and blood glucose level were increased (p=0.000).
Discussion: Peer group support was recommended to enhance self-efficacy and self-management of diabetic patients. Further research is needed about health promotion for improving self-efficacy.
