Determinant Factors of Diabetes Prevention Behavior in Students with Diabetes Mellitus Risk

Subject

Diabetes; emotional intelligence; perceived behavior control;
prevention behavior; time management

Description

Background: The trend of diabetes cases has shifted to younger ages, starting at
the age of 15 years old, due to unhealthy lifestyles. Researchers have discovered that
health students also tend to have a poor lifestyle. Students are associated with
emotional activity and busyness, but no research has examined the relationship
between these conditions and diabetes prevention behavior.
Purpose: This study examined determinant factors affecting diabetes prevention
behavior in college students with diabetes mellitus risk.
Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design, utilizing random sampling to
gather data from 209 college students with diabetes risk. The instruments used in
this study included adaptations of the Diabetes Prevention Behavior questionnaire,
the modified Diabetes Management Time Questionnaire (DMTQ), the Perceived
Behavioral Control, and the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire. Data
analysis encompassed One-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis,
Spearman’s rank, and multiple linear regression.
Results: The study found a significant relationship between diabetes management
time (p=0.001) and emotional intelligence (p=0.000) with diabetes prevention
behavior. Emotional intelligence emerged as the dominant influencing factor
(B=0.332). Conversely, no significant relationships were observed between
perceived behavior control (p=0.223), class (p=0.734), gender (p=0.231), study
major (p=0.263), age (p=0.064), and diabetes mellitus risk (p=0.664) with diabetes
prevention behavior.
Conclusion: This study revealed a significant relationship between diabetes
management time, emotional intelligence, and diabetes prevention behavior.
Emotional intelligence emerged as the key factor affecting diabetes prevention
behavior, highlighting the need for focused interventions to enhance emotional
intelligence and improve diabetes management among college students.
