Development of health behavior modification program in type 2 diabetes risk group of personnel at Khon Kaen Hospital.

Abstract

     This research and development had the objective to study the development Model in personnel Risk Type 2 Pre Diabetes Mellitus Group and to implement the result of model development in solving the problems of other groups with similar problems. The research process covered 4 phases as follows. Phase 1 studied the problem on blood sugar level control behavior of the diabetes risk group with research format of survey research and group discussion. Phase 2 was the development of format in solving problems by creating health behavior modification programs based on Bandura's (1997) self-efficacy concept of the diabetes risk group. Phase 3 was the assessment of the format result. The sample group was from simple sampling. They were divided into the test group for 50 people each. The research tools consisted of 1. tools which were health behavior modification program for people at risk of type 2 diabetes. 2. The tools used in collecting the data were questionnaire. The operation time was 12 weeks. General data were analyzed by descriptive statistics to compare the difference of score means and analyzed by Paired Sample t-test at statistical significance of 0.05. Phase 4 Extending the results of the research by using the developed model to experiment in Overweight or above body mass index with FBS 100 – 125 mg% groups. Reduce the risk of developing diabetes.
     The research result found that the sample group that joined the program had better result than before the test. The sample group had a significantly lower mean body mass index and mean blood sugar level than before the experiment, p-value<.05, and had a significantly higher mean self-efficacy perception score and mean health behavior score than before the experiment, p-value<.05.
