Self-Management Model Behavior Modification of Diabetes Mellitus on High Risk Group Chaturaphakphiman District Roi-Et Province

Abstract

Purposes : To develop and evaluate of self-management model of diabetes risk group on blood sugar levels in the area of ​​Chaturaphakphiman District Roi-Et province

Study design : Action Research; Technical Action Research.

Materials and Methods : The research was divided into 3 phases to jointly define objectives Research goals Conceptual framework Provide necessary resources Preparing and testing the quality of data collection tools The second phase was the research and trial of the self-management model for diabetes risk groups, and the third phase was the follow-up and evaluation. A sample of 32 people who were at risk for diabetes who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were collected by using an interview form. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Paired t-test ;95% Confidence Interval

Main findings : All of 32 diabetes risk groups were female (68.8%), mean age 60 years, were marital status (90.6%), were primary education (46.9%), farming occupation (93.8%), family income 5,000 baht. per month and body mass index in excess (68.8%) before proceeding with the activities according to the behavior modification model for diabetes risk groups The research team measured the blood glucose levels in one experimental group, organized the activity and measured the results. After intervention, the diabetic risk group had a statistically significantly lower mean glycemic index than before intervention (p< .001), with a mean glycemic decreased of as much as 16.53 mg% (95% CI ; 7.28 , 25.77)

Conclusion and recommendations : As a result of this research, the sugar level was lower than before the activity. Therefore, the implementation of this research finding should be studied in a community participatory assessment process to solve other problems in a community.
