The Effect Of Solution-Focused Brief Counseling On Self-Management Of Diabetes Mellitus In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Literature Review

Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most pressing global health issues, characterized by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency that causes disturbances in blood sugar regulation. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of SFBC on self-management in people with T2DM through a literature review. This study used a systematic and explicit method to identify, evaluate, and synthesize relevant articles from various databases such as ProQuest, PubMed, and Science Direct between 2020 and 2025. The keywords used in the search were “Solution-Focused Brief Counseling AND Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Self-Management.” After going through the selection process, there were 10 international articles that met the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of this literature review show that SFBC has the potential to improve self-management in people with T2DM, both from psychosocial aspects such as stress management and physical aspects such as glycemic control. Further research is expected to expand the population and duration of follow-up to gain a deeper understanding of the long-term impact of SFBC in T2DM management
