The Effectivenessof Program Behaviors Applying on Awareness, Decisional Balance, Perceived Self-efficacy, and Dietary Consumption Behaviors for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Risk Group

Abstract

Purpose :To compare the effects on  awareness, decisional balance, perceived self-efficacy, and dietary consumption behaviors for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitusrisk group.

Study design:Quasi - Experimental Research ; One group pretest posttest design with Repeated Measures                        

Materials and Methods:120 of type 2 diabetes mellitus  risk group, primary care unit (PCU) in  KasetWisai hospital,  who obtained  the inclusion criteria and from simple random sampling, and conducted for 10 weeks. Data were collected by using questionnaires. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Repeated Measure One Group with Repeated Measure, pairwisescomprasionwith Bonferroni and paired t-tst. Statistical significance was determined at 95% confidence interval.

Main findings:Type 2 diabetes mellitus risk group had mean awareness scores, decision balance, self-efficacy, and dietary consumption behaviors at 3 timeswere significantly different (p<.001). In pairwise comparisons using Bonferroni's method, the mean awareness scores decision balance, self-efficacy, and comparing eating behaviors at week 10th over week 6th and before the trial and Type 2 diabetes mellitus  risk group had a statistically significantly lower mean glycemic (FBS) than before (p<.001), with a lower mean glycemic  (FBS) of 14.43 mg/dl (95 %CI; 14.25, 14.62)

Conclusion and recommendations:The results of this study showed that following a behavior modification program resulted in Type 2 diabetes mellitus risk group being able to modify their behavior.
