Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate preventive behaviors among non-insulin dependent diabetes in people with high-risk diabetes mellitus and to examine the predictive power of personal factors such as sex, age, fasting blood sugar, body mass index, knowledge of diabetes mellitus and perceived of self-efficacy to prevent behaviors. This study utilized a purposive sample of 118 cases from Tambon health promoting hospital, Suphanburi Province. Data were collected through interviews. The instruments were a personal data form, the preventive behaviors questionnaire, knowledge of diabetes mellitus questionnaire and the perceived self-efficacy questionnaire. The instruments were examined using content validity index. The CVI of preventive behaviors questionnaire, knowledge of diabetes mellitus questionnaire and perceived self-efficacy questionnaire were ranged of between 0.91, 0.94 and 0.95 and the reliability of these instruments as 0.83, 0.81 and 0.95 respectively. Data were analyzed by using percentage, means, standard deviations, Pearson’s correlation moment and multiple regression analysis.
The results revealed that the mean of preventive behaviors among non-insulin dependent diabetes in people with high-risk diabetes mellitus samples was at a moderate level (Mean 2.92, SD 0.29). The factors such as sex, fasting blood sugar, knowledge of diabetes mellitus and perceived self-efficacy were positively related to preventive behaviors. Multiple regression analysis revealed that 35 percent of variance of preventive behaviors could be explained by sex, age, knowledge of diabetes mellitus and perceived self-efficacy (p< .001). The best factor significantly predicting preventive behavior was perceived self-efficacy (Beta .396; t 4.938; p<.01).
In conclusion, healthcare providers should encourage the non-insulin dependent diabetes in people with high-risk diabetes mellitus on increasing self-efficacy and knowledge in order change behaviors for preventing the disease. Moreover, the non-insulin dependent diabetes in people should control their body mass index.
