Factors predicting health behavior of people at risk for type 2 diabetes Hang Dong District, Chiang Mai Province
Keywords:
Factors predicting, Health behavior, Diabetic risk groupAbstract
This descriptive with predictive correlational research aimed to examine health behavior and factors predicting health behavior among people at risk for diabetes in Hang Dong District, Chiang Mai Province. The sample size consisted of 223 individuals selected through simple random sampling. The research instrument included five parts: a personal factor, predisposing factors, enabling factors, reinforcing factors, and a health behavior questionnaire. The content validity of the entire questionnaire was 1, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient reliability was 0.72, 0.92, 0.74, and 0.82, respectively. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
The resulted showed that overall health behavior and each aspect were at a moderate level. Family support, access to the health care system, and perception of diabetes severity were positively correlated with health behavior (r = 0.316, p-value = < 0.001; r = 0.348, p-value = < 0.001; r = 0.323, p-value = < 0.001, respectively). Perception of barriers to diabetes prevention was significantly negatively correlated with health behavior (r = -0.221, p-value < 0.001). Family support, access to health care services system, perception of barriers to diabetes prevention, and perception of diabetes severity were significant predictors of health behavior (p-value < 0.05), explaining 30.0% of the variance in health behavior. Therefore, assessing perception of diabetes severity and perception of barriers to diabetes prevention and encouraging family members to participate will help promote diabetes prevention behaviors in the diabetes risk group.
