A DEVELOPING A SELF-MANAGEMENT MODEL TO ENHANCED GLYCEMIC CONTROL FOR UNCONTROLLED DIABETIC PATIENTS

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to 1) develop and study the effect of using a self-management model to promote glycemic control for diabetics with uncontrolled glycemic control. 2) compare the mean scores of self-management behavior. and mean blood sugar levels. It is a research and development model. The samples were 1) a group of nurses who worked to take care of 30 diabetic patients; 2) a group of 30 uncontrollable diabetic patients. Select a specific model according to the specified qualifications. The research instrument was a self-management model to promote glycemic control for uncontrolled diabetes patients developed by the researcher. The tools used to collect information include  satisfaction assessment form and a questionnaire on self-management behaviors of diabetic patients with uncontrollable sugar. Qualitative data were analyzed and distribution of frequency, percentage, mean, Standard Deviation and paired t-test.The effect of using a self-management model to promote glycemic control for diabetics with inadequate glycemic control at Ban Pong Hospital after using pattern. The nursing group had an average score of satisfaction at a high level (  = 4.63, S.D. = 0.48) The mean scores of self-management behavior in the group of diabetic patients were significantly higher than before using the model at statistically significant level .05 had an average score of satisfaction at a high level (  = 4.39, S.D. = 0.52), the mean blood sugar level decreased than before using the model was statistically significant at the .05 level. The results of this research diabetic care nurse could apply this self-management model to promote glycemic control for uncontrollable diabetics can be applied to change behaviors appropriately and can control blood sugar levels in diabetic patients and can be applied to other groups of patients.
