Effects Of Health Behavior Modification Program On The 8 Forms Drug Prevention Non-Communicable Diseases Guidelines Of Chronic Disease Risk Group In Chaloem Phrakiat District Nakhon Ratchasima Province

Abstract

A quasi-experimental study was designed for this research. The objective was to study the results of the 8 Forms Drug Prevention Non-Communicable Diseases Guidelines of the Chronic Disease Risk Group program in Chaloem Phrakiat District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. The study was conducted between June 1 and December 31, 2020 using a training program for the 8 Forms Drug Prevention Non-Communicable Diseases Guidelines, including health records, knowledge quizzes, and clinical tools. The sample size was 50 people in the chronic disease risk group. Purposive sampling was applied to recruit participants. Descriptive statistics and paired-samples t-test at 0.05 significance level were used for data analysis. The results found that knowledge (Mean Diff = 11.34, 95% CI = 9.35-11.33, p–value < 0.001) blood sugar level (Mean Diff = 9.76, 95% CI = 4.21-15.31, p–value = 0.001) body mass index (Mean Diff = 0.26, 95% CI =0.11-0.41, p–value = 0.001) and systolic blood pressure (Mean Diff = 8.78, 95% CI = 5.73-11.83, p–value < 0.001) were significant difference. Therefore, health behavior change programs should be developed to expand their effect on other groups further.
