Abstract
The Hispanic population has a high prevalence of diabetes. The purpose of this study was to assess whether diabetes knowledge and health behavior change were improved using culturally based diabetes self-management education for Hispanic adults with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes self-management education is vital in cultivating knowledge, health behavior change, and prevention of diabetes complications. The project was conducted using a one-group pre and post-test design using the five Prochaska’s transtheoretical model of change as the theoretical framework. Twenty-Five Hispanic adults with a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes were recruited for the project. The pre-and posttest data for the project were obtained using the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ-24), and the Health Behavior Questionnaire (HBQ) derived and modified from the Diabetes Project Participation Questionnaire (DPPQ). A paired sample t test was used to compare the pretest and the post-test scores. Upon completion of the five-week diabetes self-management education, results demonstrated a significant difference (p <0.05) in the pre-and post-test scores. Significant improvements were shown on both diabetes knowledge and health behavior changes, leading to a recommendation that diabetes self-management education should be culturally based. This result is expected to embolden and assist medical practitioners in making timely decisions to use culturally based diabetes self-management education for diabetes treatment among Hispanics.
