Effects of health behavior modification program on blood sugar control in diabetic patients with uncontrolled blood sugar level at Kape Subdistrict Health Promotion Hospital, Kalasin Province.

Abstract

     This research study is the study of the effect of health behavior modification program on blood sugar control in diabetic patients who cannot control their blood sugar level at Kape Sub-district Health Promoting Hospital, Kalasin Province. The researcher created it from the concept of providing information, creating motivation, and developing skills (Information-. Motivation-Behavioral Skill: IMB Model), a concept used in behavior change developed by Fisher and Fisher. It is a quasi-experimental research design with a one-group pretest and posttest design. The experimental group consisted of 57 diabetic patients who cannot control their blood sugar level at Kape Sub-district Health Promoting Hospital, Kalasin Province. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to analyze the characteristics of the sample population using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum values. Analytical statistics were used to analyze the effect of health behavior modification program on blood sugar control in diabetic patients who cannot control their blood sugar level, comparing before and after the experiment using Paired T-test.
     The results of the study showed that the experimental group had significantly higher health behavior scores than before the experiment, both in terms of health behaviors in food control. (p-value<0.001) in terms of exercise (p-value<0.001) in terms of stress management (p-value<0.001) in terms of smoking and drinking (p-value<0.001) in terms of using diabetic medication (p-value<0.001) in terms of monitoring for complications from diabetes (p-value<0.001) in terms of overall health care behavior (p-value<0.001). When comparing the blood sugar levels of diabetic patients who could not control their blood sugar levels before and after the experiment, it was found that the experimental group had a significantly lower blood sugar level (p-value<0.011)
