Abstract
Objective: To study the effect of SKT meditation therapy to reduce the serum glucose level in the prediabetic group.
Designs: A quasi-experimental research pre-post test control group design
Materials and Methods: The study population was divided into two groups by convenience sampling. The participants consisted of 25 samples in the intervention group and 22 samples in the control group. The intervention group practiced SKT meditation techniques 1 and 2 for 24 weeks. The control group received knowledge and counseling to change behavior similar to the intervention group. The data was collected by a questionnaire, knowledge test, and fasting blood sugar at Udon Thani Hospital.
Results: The results revealed that after practicing SKT meditation, the participants had serum glucose levels (mean = 93.14, +/-SD = 10.08) lower than pre-intervention (mean = 109.9, +/-SD = 7.66) with statistical significance (p-value < 0.01). The post-program comparison between the two groups determined that the intervention group had a lower serum glucose level (mean = 93.14, +/-SD = 10.08) than the control group (mean = 105.5, +/-SD = 8.41) with statistical significance (p-value < 0.01).
Conclusions: SKT meditation practices reduced the blood glucose levels in the prediabetic group.
