Keywords:
Foot Complications, Type II Diabetes, Urban CommunityAbstract
The objective of the correlational predictive research was to examine the predictive power of factors related to knowledge, self-regulation, and preventive behavior concerning complications in the feet of type 2 diabetes patients. The sample included individuals with type 2 diabetes aged 35 years and older, who were registered for diabetes treatment in primary care units in the Bangkok metropolitan area. The total sample size was 138 individuals. Data were collected through a questionnaire created by the researchers. The questionnaire included measures of knowledge, self-regulation, and preventive behavior related to foot complications. The study employed Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression statistics to analyze the relationships and predictive power of the variables, respectively.
The study found a positive correlation between knowledge and self-regulation with preventive behavior regarding foot complications in type 2 diabetes patients at low and moderate levels, with statistical significance (r = .168, p < .05; r = .669, p < .001, respectively). Additionally, self-regulation on the individual level was identified as a predictor, contributing to 46.40% of the variance in preventive behavior against foot complications.
