A Model of behavioral modification to control blood sugar levels of patients with type 2 diabetes at Ban Som Siao Subdistrict Health Promoting Hospital, Tha Ngio Subdistrict, Banphot Phisai District Nakhon Sawan Province

Abstract

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to (1) study of behavior to control blood sugar levels and factors predicting behavior to control blood sugar levels of patients with type 2 diabetes (2) Develop a behavior modification model to control blood sugar levels of patients   and (3) evaluate patterns of behavioral modification to control blood sugar levels of patients. The sample group was patients with type 2 diabetes who were registered for treatment at Ban Som Siao Subdistrict Health Promoting Hospital, Tha Ngio Subdistrict, Banphot Phisai District. Nakhon Sawan Province, a total of 298 people, using mixed methods research (Mixed Methods Research), data analyzed with descriptive statistics. and analyze factors predicting behavior to control blood sugar levels. and check the validity of the model with empirical data.

            The results of the research found that (1) the level of self-care behavior of the elderly It's at a very good level. except exercise behavior is at a moderate level Social support and self-efficacy were at a high level. Attitude of the elderly is at a moderate level As for those caring for the elderly, it was found that knowledge, attitude, and behavior in taking care of the elderly is at a high level (2) Predictive factors that influence the self-care behavior of the elderly are consistent with empirical data at the individual level. It was found that the self-care behavior of the elderly is directly and positively influenced by social support perception of self-efficacy and attitudes of the elderly Statistically significant at the 0.01 level, able to jointly predict 40.40% of the elderly's self-care behavior (3) A Model of behavioral modification to control blood sugar levels of patients with type 2 diabetes consists of 6 areas: 1) self-care behavior, 2) suitability of the elderly caregiver, 3) development. Elderly caregivers to have knowledge, attitude, and skills in caring for the elderly. 4) Creating a good attitude towards taking care of the elderly's own health. 5) Creating awareness of the competencies and abilities of the elderly. 6) Encouraging people to take care of the elderly. Elderly people develop good self-care behaviors. (4) The results of the model evaluation were found to be at a high level. Both sides of possibility Usefulness, appropriateness, and comprehensive accuracy Therefore, the model can be used to change behavior to control blood sugar levels. of patients.
