description: Abstract

The purposes of this research were to study the perceptions of health status and three behavioral practices of type 2 diabetes patients in Nakhon Nayok Province, and to determine predictors of three behavioral practices among type 2 diabetes patients in Nakhon Nayok Province.  The descriptive research studied the perceptions of health status and three behavioral practices, and predictors of three behavioral practices among type 2 diabetes patients in Nakhon Nayok Province. Population and sample were patients with type 2 diabetes who received treatment at diabetics’ clinic of Subdistrict Health Promoting Hospital in Nakhon Nayok Province. The researcher drew lots for Ongkharak and Ban Na districts, followed by lots for the subdistricts, yielding a list of 14 subdistrict health-promoting hospitals. Because the populations in each location got very similar health services, a sample of 337 type 2 diabetes patients was chosen using multistage sampling. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequency, percentage, standard deviation, mean, One Way ANOWA, correlation coefficients, examining the significance of variations between means, and multiple linear regression analysis to determine the factors affecting three behavioral practices. Results indicated that the mean and standard deviation of patients with type 2 diabetes perceptions in Nakhon Nayok Province were moderate. When each item was determined from high to low, the following were found: stress management behaviors, exercise behaviors, and food consumption behaviors. Perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barrier, perceived seriousness, imitation, perceived threat, cues to action all had a positive correlation with food consumption behaviors, exercise behaviors, and stress management behaviors. However, perceived barrier and perceived threat had a negative relationship with exercise behaviors, with a statistical significance of .01. There was a positive association between food consumption behaviors, exercise behaviors, and stress management behaviors, with a statistical significance of .01. The factors that positively affected three behavioral practices for type 2 diabetes patients in Nakhon Nayok Province using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis were perceived benefits and perceived barrier, with a statistical significance. When perceived benefits rose by one unit among type 2 diabetes patients, behavioral practices increased by 0.538 units. However, perceived barrier of patients with type 2 diabetes positively affected three behavioral practices, with a statistical significance. (Constant (a) =24.407, R Square =.218, Adjust R Square =.202, F= 13.114, **P< .01). When perceived barrier rose by one unit among type 2 diabetes patients, behavioral practices increased by 0.261 units. Perceived threat, perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, cues to action, and imitation all had positive impacts on three behavioral practices among type 2 diabetes patients, without a statistical significance.
