Keywords:
Patients with Hypertension and diabetes, Health literacy, Self-careAbstract
The quasi-experiment, one-group pre-posttest research, aimed to study the effects of program health literacy on the self-care behavior of the patients with hypertension and diabetes. The study was conducted at Klong-Luang communities, Pathum-Thani. A total of 46 people from Klong-Luang communities were randomly selected as samples. Study time is March–May 2021. Research tools composed of the health literacy program consist of disease health education, risk of complications, nutrition, exercise, and safety medicine. Data was collected by the questionnaires (2 parts; health literacy and health behavior), with reliability equal to.939. Analyzed with descriptive statistics and one sample t-test. The results showed that after program training in the 3rd month, samples had a sum mean score of self-care behavior higher than the baseline in every part, such as food consumption, exercise, and medicine taking, significantly (t = 34.17; p<.05). The suggestion for the next study was to follow up on blood sugar and blood pressure continuously, at least every month.
