Effects of self-management model for blood sugar control behavior in diabetic patients type 2 with uncontrolled blood sugar level in diabetes clinic Nong Song Hong Hospital, Khon Kaen Province.

Abstract

     This research is quasi-experimental research. Aim to study was to effect of using self-management model on blood sugar control behaviors of type 2 diabetes patients with poor blood sugar control at the diabetes clinic, Nong Song Hong Hospital. 84 type 2 diabetes patients with poor blood sugar control were studied between January and August 2023. The research instruments included activity organizing tools, general data collection forms, blood sugar control behavior assessment forms, self-management assessment forms, self-care behavior assessment forms, and satisfaction assessment forms. The statistics used were descriptive statistics and a before-and-after comparison using the model using a Paired t-test.
     The results of the study found that the sample group was 63.33 percent female, with the majority aged 60 years and over (54.76 percent). The process of the model consisted of 4 steps: 1) Study the problem 2) Develop a self-management model 3) Test the model 4) Evaluate the results. After receiving the self-management model,blood sugar control behavior, self-care behavior, and satisfaction increased significantly. (p-value<0.05, t=2.48, 11.94, 8.81, 4.26) Conclusion: Self-management model can help diabetic patients who cannot control their blood sugar levels to change their behavior to control and lower their blood sugar levels.
