The Effectiveness of the Improving Inhibition Control Program on Eating Behavior for People with Uncontrolled Blood Glucose Type2 Diabetes Mellitus in Ban Thawai Chaloem Phrakiat Health Promoting Hospital, WangTong subdistrict, Wangsomboon Distric, Sakaeo

Abstract

     The purposes of this quasi experimental research were to develop and to examine a food eating Inhibition control (EIC) program by using Inhibition control model for people with uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The participants consisted of 60 uncontrolled T2DM patients in Wangtong sub-district, Sakaeo Province, who were simple random sampling to one of two groups (30 per group). The research design was a 2X2 factorial pre-test and post-test design. The research process consisted of three steps including 1) development of EIC training program 2) screening participants and 3) investigation of EIC program on eating behaviors in people with uncontrolled T2DM. Instruments included 1) an interview form 2) medical equipment and 4) the EIC program, a program consisting of 8 activities lasting over 12 weeks. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and analytic statistics including paired t test and independent t-test.

     Results showed that both groups presented significant increases in total mean scores of EIC and EH after 12 weeks of training program. Moreover, the mean scores of IC and EH of experimental group was significantly higher than the comparison group. At the 12 weeks after training mark, experimental group exhibited significant reductions in HbA1c levels. In addition, it was found that experimental group presented a lower level of HbA1c and more effect side of EIC and EH when compared to the comparison group. In conclusion, the findings.
