  "abstract": "Introduction: T2DM is a prevalent, non-communicable, and manageable disease worldwide. Patient empowerment in self-care and family support for self-management are crucial in controlling this condition. FHN aim to manage chronic diseases through a family centered approach by implementing necessary measures.\n\nMethods: This study employed a two-group, three stage clinical trial method, focusing on middle-aged women with T2DM from selected comprehensive health service centers in Isfahan. A total of 84 middle-aged women with T2DM were selected through systematic sampling and a random number table. The experimental group completed a consent form, a demographic questionnaire, and an Hba1c test before the intervention, and repeated the Hba1c test three months post-intervention. The intervention group underwent the FHN model intervention, conducted in three stages: providing services tailored to the patient's actual needs, coordinating the use of all available health service resources, and empowering the family. Independent t-tests and repeated-measures analysis of variance with LSD post hoc test were used to compare the groups, and data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26 software.\n\nFindings: The findings indicated that the implementation of the FHN model significantly reduced the HbA1c score in the intervention group compared to the control group three months after the intervention (p<0.05).\n\nConclusion: The results suggest that the FHN model is an effective, low-cost, and accessible approach for controlling Hba1c in patients with T2DM.\n\nTrial registration: The study was registered as a randomized controlled trial in the Clinical Trial Registration Center of Iran (Registration Date: 2023-07-26; Registration Number: IRCT20230522058256N1). https://irct.behdasht.gov.ir/user/trial/68288/view.",
