Health literacy of village health volunteer on diabetic diet
Abstract
A diabetic diet is an important factor in maintaining the blood sugar levels of people with diabetes. A diabetic diet is classified as a nutrition therapy and a non-drug treatment method which consists of the plate model and carbohydrate gram counting. Therefore, an effective modification of the consumption behavior of people with diabetes is required. This action could be done by the village health volunteers (VHVs) trusted by community dwellers, which provide the main force and play a major role in changing people's health behaviors. Health literacy affects health behaviors. Thus, the VHVs' health literacy on diabetic diet is a crucial concept for the implementation of such operations to convey and change the consumption behavior of people with diabetes. Nurses who take care of people with diabetes in the community with the VHVs can act as assessors, educators, researchers, innovators, supporters, coordinators, and role models to promote health literacy on diabetes diet to the VHVs.
