Results of strengthening motivation in caring for patients with type 2 diabetes to delay kidney deterioration at the Diabetes School of Renu Nakhon Hospital.

Abstract

     This quasi-experimental research aimed to study results of strengthening motivation in caring for patients with type 2 diabetes to delay kidney deterioration at the Diabetes School of Renu Nakhon Hospital. The sample group consisted of type 2 diabetic patients who were selected for Purposive Sampling and specified criteria, 52 people, One-group, Pretest-Posttest Design. The tools used for data collection: Knowledge about salt and sodium consumption awareness, knowledge about diabetes and kidney failure, and Chem Meter. Data Analysis: General data using numbers and percentages. Knowledge about salt and sodium consumption awareness, knowledge about diabetes and kidney failure, and Knowledge about salt and sodium consumption awareness, knowledge about diabetes and kidney failure, Effects of salt and sodium consumption, A1C, Triglycerides (TG), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).The analysis was performed using mean, standard deviation, and comparison before and after participating in the activity using Pair t-test statistics.
     The results of the study found that before and after participating in the activity, the sample group had knowledge about awareness of salt and sodium consumption, the average score increased from 5.23 (SD=1.19) to 6.76 (SD=0.98). Knowledge about diabetes and kidney failure, the average score increased from 10.05 (SD=1.46) to 12.03 (SD=1.18), which was significantly different at the .05 level. The clinical outcomes were glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood sugar level (A1C), triglyceride level (TG), bad cholesterol level (LDL), which were significantly different at the .05 level. And the salt and sodium consumption decreased from 0.84 (SD=.37) to 0.73 (SD=.12), which was significantly different at the .05 level.
