Abstract: Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a non-communicable disease, considered a public health concern due to its impact on global morbidity and mortality. Objective: To develop and validate a nursing intervention (Nursing Outcome Classification [NOC] outcome 1601) and outcome compliance behavior in adults with T2DM. Materials and Methods: Consensus study by specialists, delimited by the phase of development of the educational intervention and the validity of its content. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was used for data analysis, with a CVI ≥ 0.80 considered acceptable. Results: In total, twelve specialists validated the indicators and the nursing intervention. For the adherence behavior (NOC outcome 1601) nursing outcome, thirteen indicators were selected and validated by specialists, and a CVI of 0.91 was obtained. An individualized intervention, consisting of four sessions, was designed to increase knowledge and application of healthy behaviors in patients with T2DM. Conclusion: This study exposes the need for nursing approaches that integrate behavioral and educational components to optimize health outcomes that contribute to a more holistic and patient-centered management of T2DM.
