Keywords:
community-based, diabetes, hypertensionAbstract
The increase in the number of diabetes and hypertension patients each year has led to significant losses in lives and economic burdens due to patient care expenses, resulting in economic losses as the government has to use a large budget. During the COVID-19 outbreak, community-based health care played a greater role in supporting public health in local communities, creating a process for health care beyond modern medicine. Community-based health care varies in each community, locality, and region, influenced by diverse values, beliefs, cultures, and wisdom. The main mechanisms for promoting the health of diabetes and hypertension patients involve behavioral health changes and medical care. Health behavior changes follow health behavior theories and concepts, including diet, stress management, and exercise. Traditional and community-based health practices, as supported by the Ministry of Public Health, can be categorized into alternative medicine, Thai traditional medicine, and folk medicine. Community-based health promotion consists of two main aspects: dietary practices and self-care behaviors. Diabetes and hypertension patients should consume food and medicine containing herbs, exercise, and manage stress according to Thai wisdom, local wisdom, alternative medicine, Thai traditional medicine, and folk medicine. To promote the principles of Dhammanami in the areas of physical well-being, mental well-being, and life well-being more widely.
