Development of Food Model and Food Exchange e-san Prototypes for Diabetic

Abstract

Purpose :  This study was to develop food model e-san and food exchange list e-san in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Evaluate educational media to improve satisfaction.

Study Design : Research & Development design (R&D)

Materials and Methods : Two stage was first stage involved the development of modified food model e-san and in the second stage the effectiveness of this media was evaluate by the use a Quasi-experimental design. The subjects for the second stage were 20 T2DM intervention group which were each exposed to education from food model e-san, 20 T2DM control group which was given the routine form of health education. Research instruments was interview questionnaire was used to collect general information T2DM patients and knowledge of food exchange e-san and also satisfaction with the food model e-san. The were analyzed using descriptive statistics and hypotheses were tested using Independent t-test for the data with passing a preliminary agreement at the statistics significance level .05 and analyze effective of model by Effectiveness Index

Main findings : Result found that the development plant and meat e-san developed to prototype model total 36 model was vegetable e-san with consumption (70%) total 22 list .Meat e-san with consumption (70 %) total 10 list. Fruit e-san with consumption (70%) total 4 list. E-san food exchange list for 1 serving. The results of quasi experimental design in the stage of testing food model e-san showed that the knowledge scores in the intervention groups were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.001). The subjects in the intervention group had a high level of satisfaction. Effectiveness Index equal to 0.80

Conclusion and recommendations : Food model e-san can increase level of food exchange list knowledge and patients can be highly satisfied. Therefore involved can apply this food model e-san effectively in teaching T2 DM about food exchange list
