The participants in experimental group received the multifaceted nurse coaching intervention and the participants in control group received the usual care over 12 weeks. The data collected were; demographic data, the diabetic complications were measured by patient’s self-perception of symptoms of diabetic complications, physiological variables including HbA1c level, blood pressure, LDL-C level and satisfaction. These instruments were validated by 5 experts and the reliability of the questionnaires were 0.82 and 0.93, respectively. The data were analyzed using dependent samples T-test, independent sample T-test and two proportion z-test. Results were as follows: 1.

Persons with type 2 diabetes who received the multifaceted nurse-coaching intervention had lower HbA1c levels than persons who did not receive the intervention at the 12 th week. 3. Persons with type 2 diabetes who received the multifaceted nurse-coaching intervention had no significant blood pressure difference from persons who did not receive the intervention at the 12 th week. 4. Persons with type 2 diabetes who received the multifaceted nurse-coaching intervention had no significant LDL-C difference from persons who did not receive the intervention at the 12 th week. 5. Persons with type 2 diabetes who received the multifaceted nurse-coaching intervention had higher satisfaction scores than persons who did not receive the intervention at the 12 th week.
