EFFECTEDS OF THE THREE ACTIVITIES PROGRAM PROMOTING PERCEPTION AND DEVELOPING BEHAVIOR FOR CONTROLLING THE FASTING BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS AMONG DIABETES PATIENTS IN THE SERVICE AREA AT KOKPRASIT SUB-DISTRICT HEALTH PROMOTIING HOSPITAL, KHONG CHAI DISTRICT, KALASIN PROVINCE

Abstract

The quasi-experimental research one group pretest-posttest was aimed to study effected the program of 3 activities area to promote perception and development behavior for controlling the fasting blood sugar levels among diabetes patients in the service area at Kokprasit sub-district health promoting hospital. The samples were selected 30 diabetes patients with the simple random sampling technique.  The instruments were used to experiment, questionnaire with the 4 sections, and blood sugar levels examination which was implemented for 12 weeks.  The statistical was used descriptive statistic and inferential statistic with Paired t-test.

The results showed that most of diabetes patients were female 86.67% with mean of age at 58.63 years old, and mean of year with diabetes at 7.80 years. After intervention was demonstrated in the follows; (1) knowledge of diabetes with mean score increase at 2.13 (95%CI = 0.88-3.39, p-value = 0.001), (2) self-efficacy care in diabetes patients with mean score increase at 0.24 (95%CI = 0.12-0.37, p-value < 0.001), (3) self-care behavior in diabetes patients with mean score increase at 0.31 (95%CI = 0.20-0.43, p-value < 0.001), and (4) fasting blood sugar level in diabetes patients with decrease at 7.30 Mg./dL. (95%CI = 1.86-12.74, p-value = 0.009). In conclusion, the program of the three activities can promote and developing behavior for controlling the fasting blood sugar levels among diabetes patients in the service area. Moreover, the program can be apply to promote health behavior to the people at risk of disease in the other area with similar contexts.
