Abstract
Qualitative phenomenological research aimed to explore self-management experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic of type 2 diabetes patients in the area of Ban Na Khum Health Promoting Hospital. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 25 diabetic patients treated at Ban Na Khum Health Promoting Hospital. Data were analyzed using the content analysis method. The study results showed two main themes: 1) modifying health behaviors to control diabetes by themselves, including eating alone, exercising alone, medication management, and stress management, and 2) lifestyle modifications to prevent COVID-19 infection, including social precautions and careful spending money. The results of this study can be used as a basis for planning and developing guidelines for promoting self-management during the COVID-19 outbreak of type 2 diabetes patients in the responsible area of Ban Na Khum Sub-District Health Promoting Hospital by adjusting the services and activities to suit the patient's condition.
