Abstract

Abstract

     This research aim to study the the effectiveness of self-Monitoring blood glucose program of diabetic patients who uncontrol blood glucose levels, which affected their knowledge about diabetes. perceived health beliefs about diabetes include perceived susceptibility of complications from diabetes. Perceived severity of diabetes complications. perceived benefits and barriers of Self-management behavior to control blood glucose levels, Self-efficacy, Self-management behavior to control blood glucose levels and Hemoglobin A1C. This study is experimental research in format of Quasi-Experimental research that nonequivalent two groups pretest –posttest design. The sample group done by random selection research compose of 64 patients in type 2 diabetes patients who cannot control their blood glucose levels registered as patients of Banplung Health Promoting Hospital, Banphot Phisai District, Nakhon Sawan Province. The sample group is divided by stratified random sampling into 1) 32 patients random experiment and 2) 32 patients random assignment by matching subject. The tool for testing is the self-Monitoring blood glucose program of diabetic and tools for collecting data are testing and questionnaire forms. The analysis done by frequency, quantity, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Comparative analysis of differences within the experimental and control groups was performed using Paired Simple t-test. The differences between the experimental and control groups were analyzed using Independent Simple t-test. Comparative analysis within the experimental group before the experiment, posttest and follow-up by one-way repeated-measures ANOVA The research found that

1. After experiment, the experimental group obtain knowledge about diabetes and health perception of diabetes as well as self-efficacy, self-management behavior to control blood glucose levels and Hemoglobin A1C better than before the experiment and better than control group by the significant statistic level at .05
2. After experiment, the experimental group obtain knowledge about diabetes and health perception of diabetes as well as self-efficacy self-management behavior to control blood glucose levels and Hemoglobin A1C better than before the experiment and better than the follow-up by the significant statistic level at .05
3. Suggestions: The self-monitoring of blood glucose levels should be applied to the care of diabetic patients in order to behavior modification to control blood glucose levels according to their own context.
