Introduction: Self-care education for diabetics by nurses has always been a key and valuable strategy in the successful management of diabetes. In order to facilitate the process of professionalization of nursing graduates, the present study was conducted with the aim of the effect of the implementation of educational intervention by nursing students on the promotion of self-care of diabetic patients. Methods: The quasi-experimental study was performed on 70 hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus randomly divided into control and experimental groups. The data collection tool was the Tobert and Glasgow self-care questionnaire that was completed before the educational intervention and one month after it. Data were analyzed by SPSS 16 software using descriptive and inferential statistical tests (P≤ 0.05). Results: The findings showed there is a significant difference between self-care behavior in physical activity, foot care, diet, blood sugar control, and regular drug use. But there was no significant difference in the mean total score of self-care in the experimental and control groups except in the field of foot care. Conclusion: Due to the positive effect of education in different areas and the lack of a significant difference between the overall self-care score between the two groups, which may be due to inadequate teaching methods and students' lack of complete justification in this regard, it is recommended to emphasize patient education and educational technologies and methods of creating effective and continuous communication, so that by realizing the importance of this issue, they can acquire and develop the skills and knowledge required in educating patients to be able to Use more comprehensive services to patients in the realm of clinical practice.
