Stress and efficacy levels were measured before and after being given diabetes self-management and efficacy training. The Wilcoxon test analyzed data.. Results: Before training, the average self-efficacy score was 44.21, while after training was 58.76, p<0.0001. The average stress score before training was 44.41; after training, it decreased to 30.29, p<0.0001.
