Abstract

BACKGROUND: The number of people with prediabetes has steadily increased and advanced to diabetes onset, resulting in subsequent complications. According to statistics in 2020, Chanthaburi province had the highest number of prediabetic patients in the 6th Health Zone. Therefore, this group of patients should undergo appropriate behavioral changes to slow down the advancement of the disease.


OBJECTIVE: To develop and study the effects of the behavior modification model development based on Solution-Focused Brief Theory through the Line application among Prediabetic groups.


METHODS: This was participatory action research. The sample group consisted of 30 people with prediabetes in the jurisdiction of the Chanthanimit Sub-district Health Promoting Hospital. Content analysis, descriptive statistics, and the Paired-sample t-test analyzed data.


RESULTS: The development of the model consisted of four phases as follows: The first Phase: studying the current situation and analyzing behavioral modification problems of people with prediabetes in the Chanthanimit Health Promoting Hospital from a discussion with the hospital head, staff, five registered nurses, 10 volunteers, and 20 people with pre-diabetes. The second phase: developing a behavior modification model for people with pre-diabetes using the theoretical concept Solution-Focused Brief Theory. The third phase: implementing and monitoring a Behavior Modification Model through a Line Applications. And the fourth phase: evaluating the model's implementation and the behavior modification results. The research results showed that the average waist circumference, Mean Body Mass Index (BMI), and Blood Sugar after participating in the behavior modification were statistically significant reduced (p<0.001). Moreover, the sample had a statistically significant higher mean of health literacy and health behavior than before the experiment. (p<0.001).


CONCLUSION: The model, solution-focused behavior modification model, through line application, can be used as a guideline to increase the efficiency of behavior modification in people with pre-diabetes and people with diabetes to delay the diabetes onset and reduce complications.
