Aims: Traditional education fails to effectively treat patients with chronic diseases. Therefore, educating patients through a more comprehensive approach is required to encourage patients to actively participate in the management of the chronic disease. Empowering the patient is considered as a program for self-care and a change in behavior while caring the diabetics. Selfefficacy and self-esteem are the most important components of empowerment. The rise in selfefficacy and self-esteem has been effective in diabetes care improvement. The current study was conducted to determine the effects of empowerment-based education on self-efficacy and selfesteem in diabetic patients referred to diabetes clinic.
