Application of Pender's Health Promotion Model for Healthy Dietary Practice Promotion Among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients: A Quasi‐Experimental Study in Lalitpur District, Nepal

The DSMP was found to be effective in changing attitudes toward dietary practices and perceived behavioral control over good nutritional practices, which were considered responsible for the increase in good dietary practice intention in the intervention group compared to the control group. Thus, the practices are not only standard but also play a fundamental role in the effective management of diabetes mellitus, complementing pharmacological and lifestyle interventions.
