The results showed that after receiving the participatory guidance, the mean score of health belief and diabetes mellitus preventive behaviors were significantly higher than before receiving the participatory guidance ( = 1.87, S.D. = 0.17; = 1.75, S.D. = 0.20), ( = 1.62, S.D. = 0.22; = 1.47, S.D. = 0.19) at p-value .001.
