Cognitive and Behavioral Transformation in Type 2 Diabetes Through a Self-Efficacy-Focused Structured Education Program: A Descriptive Qualitative Study
The findings reveal a dual-process mechanism: reflective System 2 learning evolved into automatic System 1 habits supported by heuristic tools. Integrating contextual cues, visual prompts, and mobile-based nudges into future SSEP delivery may enhance habit formation and long-term adherence. Combining reflective training with ongoing family and community support could further strengthen diabetes self-management behaviors sustainability.
