Effects of discharge planning on self-care ability. self-care behavior and blood sugar levels of diabetic patients in inpatient department at Sawee Hospital. Effects of discharge planning on self-care ability self-care behavior and blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract

     The purpose of this quasi-experimental research was to study the effect of discharge planning on perceptions of self-care ability. self-care behavior and blood sugar levels of type 2 diabetic patients. The sample group was patients admitted Treatment in the male and female inpatient wards of Sawi Hospital, Chumphon Province, who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and voluntarily participated in the research, totaling 60 people. The research was conducted during February 2024 - May 2024 by selecting a sample group. Purposive sampling. The sample was divided into 2 groups: a control group and an experimental group. Each group had 30 people. The sample group participated in the distribution plan 3 times and was evaluated. Perceived ability to take care of oneself self-care behavior Blood sugar levels on the first day of admission immediately after the experiment was completed. and four weeks after the experiment was completed Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, and mean and standard deviation statistics in groups. Compare scores on perceived ability to take care of oneself. self-care behavior Blood sugar levels before the experiment and immediately after the experiment was completed. and four weeks after the experiment was completed Between the experimental group and the control group By statistical analysis two – way analysis of variance : repeated measure ANOVA and independent t-test.
     The research results found that after the experiment, the group of diabetic patients who received a discharge plan had an average score of Increased awareness of self-care ability Increased self-care behavior and blood sugar levels decreased Mean self-care ability perception score on the first day The day finished immediately. and four weeks after completion When comparing them, there is no difference. As for the self-care behavior of diabetic patients After experimenting, it was found that Self-care behaviors for the day are completed immediately. and four weeks after completion Increased from the first day of receiving and results of blood sugar levels from the experiment found that the day finished immediately. and four weeks after completion Decreased from the first day received as for the average score Perceived ability to take care of oneself Self-care behavior in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group. From the study it was found that the control group and the experimental group had no different mean scores on self-care ability and there was no difference on self-care behavior. And after the experiment, the mean blood sugar level scores in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group.
