Oman is faced with an increasing rate of diabetes. The National Diabetes Control Program (NDCP) in Oman encourages all members of the diabetes health care team to share in the responsibility of providing a suitable and quality health education to people with diabetes and the community at large. Nevertheless, diabetes education has not been tackled systematically and there is a pressing need for an education program on diabetes self management in Oman. In phase one, an educational needs assessment was conducted with people with Type 2 diabetes in Primary Health Care (PHC) in Oman. Structured open-ended one-on-one interviews following the tenants of the Health Belief Model (HBM) were used to better understand patients' beliefs, motivators, and barriers associated with their diabetes self-management behaviors. Health professionals were also interviewed about their perspectives of diabetes education needs in PHC. Patient interviews identified four major barriers to appropriate self-care behaviors among people with Type 2 diabetes: inadequate knowledge, lack of self-efficacy, social commitments, and limited finances. Professionals and patients expressed the need for educational materials that were pragmatic and culturally appropriate. In phase two, a comprehensive culturally-appropriate diabetes education program and related print materials were developed. The program was pilot tested with a group of health professionals from PHC using a quasi-experimental design. The effectiveness of the program in equipping professionals with appropriate diabetes education knowledge and skills was evaluated using a closed-ended questionnaire administrated pre, post and one-month follow-up. A comparison group not part of the pilot education group also completed all the evaluation instruments. The treatment group showed increased knowledge (p < 0.0001) from pre- to post-evaluation for all knowledge scales, which was retained at one-month follow-up. Self-efficacy also increased ( p = 0.006) from pre- to post-test in the treatment group and was maintained at follow-up. The comparison group did not show any change in knowledge or attitude scale at any testing point. Treatment participants provided positive feedback on the usefulness of the program. The diabetes education program should be piloted with a group of patients and evaluated before it is fully implemented in Oman.
