Summary

This study evaluated the efficacy of HypnoDiaCare, a two-session integrative intervention that combines clinical hypnosis with diabetes self-management education based on the AADE7 Self-Care Behaviors framework, for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The trial used a three-arm randomized controlled design with HypnoDiaCare, EduDiaCare (education-only), and a neutral visual attention control group. All participants completed two individual sessions over a 1-2-week interval and completed pretest and posttest assessments.

HypnoDiaCare integrates hypnotic induction, guided imagery, ego strengthening, and positive suggestions with diabetes self-management principles. EduDiaCare provides structured education without hypnosis, and the control group viewed neutral images designed to maintain stable emotional and physiological states.

After the initial posttest, control-group participants were re-randomized to receive HypnoDiaCare or EduDiaCare to explore delayed-intervention effects. Primary outcomes were diabetes self-management and quality of life, while secondary outcomes included psychological symptoms and affective states.

The study aims to determine whether HypnoDiaCare produces greater improvements in self-management and quality of life compared with education-only and attention-control conditions.
