Diabetes Mellitus, Effectiveness, Mindfulness-based brief intervention, EmpowermentAbstract
This study was a two-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design aimed to study the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based brief intervention based on Gibson’s empowerment process for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Nam Phong district, Khon Kaen province. The sample was divided into two groups, each group consisting of 30 people. A questionnaire on knowledge, attitudes, and blood sugar-controlling behavior, as well as a record of blood sugar levels, were used to collect data. Descriptive and inferential statistics such as the Chi-square test, Independent Samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test were used for data analysis.
The study discovered that the experimental group had significantly higher mean scores on knowledge, attitude, and blood sugar control behavior than before participating in the research project and significantly higher than the control group (p-value <.01). Therefore, the average HbA1c and fasting capillary blood glucose after participating in the research project were significantly lower than before participating in the research project and significantly lower than the control group (p-value <.05 and < .01 respectively). Hence, the mindfulness-based brief intervention program based on Gibson's empowerment process can help diabetic patients better control their blood sugar levels.
