Objectives. This study aimed to compare the effects of the ''9-grid diet'' and paper-based educational tool on participants' nutritional knowledge, self-management, dietary behavior and blood sugar control. Methods. The preliminary experimental research design was conducted to recruit participants who had the diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes and HbA1C≧7.5%. A total of 60 people was assigned to experimental and control groups using single blind randomized controlled technique. Dietitians gave the same contents of nutritional education to both groups with an average duration of 30-60min/per month for three months. The ''9-grid Diet'' educational tool was applied in the experimental group and traditional paper-based educational tool was applied in the control group. The indicators included blood glucose and scales such as diabetic nutritional knowledge, diabetic self-management and diabetic dietary behavior using SPSS Statistics.22 version of statistical software for data analysis. Results. The findings showed the experimental group has significantly improved blood glucose control (fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin) than the control group. Using Johnson-Neyman method to analysis, when the pre-test of glycated hemoglobin was>8.43%, a significant difference was found between groups (p<0.05). Although there was no significant difference between two groups in terms of knowledge, behavior and self-management, but the experimental group had better diabetic self-management than the control group. Conclusion. A new educational tool of the ''9-grid Diet'' to improve participants’blood sugar control may come from the game-style health education model by achieving better self-management, and then achieve the goal of better blood sugar control in diabetes. |
