Abstract
This quasi-experimental research aimed at studying effects of group learning process program on health behaviors and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels of uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes patients promptly after and 12 weeks after using the program. Sample of 30 uncontrolled type 2 diabetes patients attended at diabetic clinic of Phanomsarakham hospital were purposively selected to participate in the developed program for 6 weeks. Instruments were group learning process program, health behaviors questionnaire and HbA1C levels at pre-and post-test after the program. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Paired t-test. Results showed that after of the group learning process program, sample had statistically significant higher mean scores of health behaviors for diet management, exercise, and stress management than the pre-test mean scores at p<0.05. The hemoglobinA1c levels at the 12 weeks after the program, were statistically significant lower than the pre-test scores at p<0.05. It is suggested that the group learning process program should be used in order to improve health behaviors and blood glucose control of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes patients.
