Blood pressure, Health literacy, Blood glucose, Glomerular filtration rateAbstract
This quasi-experimental research aimed to study the effectiveness of a health literacy developmental program on health literacy, self-management behaviors, level of blood sugar, level of blood pressure, and glomerular filtration rate among diabetic and hypertension patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease. One hundred twenty-two participants were divided into the experimental and the comparison groups, each with 61 people. The research tools consisted of 1) the 10-week program of health literacy development, developed based on the health literacy theory and 2) the health literacy with a reliability value of 0.89 and self-management behavior questionnaire with a reliability of 0.94. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation, and inference statistics, including independent t-test and Dependent t-test.
The results showed that after the experimentation, an average score of health literacy, self-management behaviors, and glomerular filtration rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than those before the experiment and higher than the control group (p-value < 0.05). In addition, urine sodium and blood sugar, and blood pressure levels of the experimental group decreased significantly compared to before the experiment and the control group (p-value < 0.05).
