This study investigates the eating behavior of individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at Dankhunthot Hospital, Nakhon Ratchasima, and explores the factors that influence this behavior. Participants were recruited from the Chronic Disease Clinic at Dankhunthot Hospital, and data collection took place between November and December 2021. One hundred and eight participants were randomly selected for the study. Research instruments included demographic data forms, the Diabetic Personal Health Record, Diabetic Distress Questionnaire, Health Literacy of Diabetic Patients Questionnaire, Perceived Self-Efficacy of Eating Questionnaire, Risk Perception of Diabetic Complications Questionnaire, and Simple Self-Management Eating Behavior Questionnaire. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis.
The results indicated that eating behavior among individuals with T2DM exhibited poor management (Mean = 12.08, Standard Deviation = 2.83). Health literacy emerged as a significant predictor of eating behavior among individuals with T2DM (Adjusted R^2 = .092, β = .144, p < .05).
The findings underscore the importance of disseminating health knowledge to individuals diagnosed with T2DM to facilitate appropriate adjustments in their eating behavior.
