Purpose

The purpose of this article is to present a model for implementing self-management goal setting in a primary care setting.

Methods

A train-the-trainer model for training staff nurses to facilitate self-management goals with people with type 2 diabetes.

Results

Fourteen staff nurses in 6 primary care sites were trained. In 2 sites that received consistent mentoring, the number and quality of self-management goals increased. Training staff nurses allowed the health center to facilitate self-management goals with patients who did not seek the services of a certified diabetes educator or who obtained care in a site without a certified diabetes educator.

Conclusions

Self-management goal setting can be implemented in primary care settings in an efficient and economical manner.
