Abstract (English): Objective. To assess the effect of health education on the practice of diabetes preventive measures on adult users from northern Peru. Methods. Quasi-experimental analytical study, with pre-test and post-test, conducted with 33 adults without diabetes, evaluated with the Diabetes-Prev Scale. The intervention was a nursing-led educational program focused on promoting healthy habits, which was structured as sessions that included context-specific health education strategies, such as creating supportive environments, demonstrations, group activities, gamification, and the use of information and communication technologies. Results. The mean age of the adults was 47 years, with greater proportion of women (93.9%), cohabiting or married (69.7%), with basic education (84.8%), and overweight (60.6%). Prior to the educational intervention, the practice of preventive measures was regular (48.5%) and after such, it changed to favorable (97%). The median practice of diabetes preventive measures globally increased from 76 in the pre-test to 115 points in the post-test of 132 possible points. A significant effect of the intervention was also found across dimensions (p <0.001). The magnitude of the intervention’s effect was large (r = 0.73). The independent predictors in the generalized linear model were age, marital status, and body mass index, in addition to the respective interactions of age, marital status, and educational level with BMI. Conclusion. The nursing-led educational intervention produced a favorable and significant effect in participants’ practices of diabetes preventive measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Objetivo. Evaluar el efecto de la educación en salud sobre la práctica de medidas preventivas de diabetes en usuarios adultos del norte peruano. Métodos. Estudio analítico cuasiexperimental, con preprueba y posprueba, desarrollado con 33 adultos sin diabetes, evaluados con la Escala Diabetes-Prev. La intervención fue un programa educativo liderado por enfermería enfocado en la promoción de hábitos saludables, el cual estaba estructurado como sesiones, que incluían estrategias pedagógicas en salud adaptadas al contexto, entre ellas, la generación de ambientes favorables, demostración y actividades en grupos, la gamificación y el uso de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación. Resultados. La mediana de edad de los adultos fue de 47 años, con mayor proporción de mujeres (93.9%), convivientes o casadas (69.7%), con educación básica (84.8%) y exceso de peso (60.6%). Antes de la intervención educativa la práctica de medidas preventivas fue regular (48.5%) y posterior a ésta cambió a favorable (97%). La mediana de la práctica de medidas preventivas de diabetes a nivel global pasó de 76 en la preprueba a 115 puntos en la posprueba de 132 puntos posibles; por dimensiones también se encontró un efecto significativo de la intervención (p<0.001). La magnitud del efecto de la intervención fue grande (r = 0.73). Los predictores independientes en el modelo lineal generalizado fueron la edad, la condición civil y el Índice de Masa Corporal, además de las sendas interacciones de la edad, condición civil y nivel educativo con el índice de masa corporal. Conclusión. La intervención educativa liderada por enfermería produjo un efecto favorable y significativo en la práctica de medidas preventivas de diabetes en los participantes.

Abstract (Portuguese): Objetivo. Demonstrar o efeito da educação em saúde na prática de medidas de prevenção do diabetes em usuários no norte do Peru. Métodos. Estudo analítico quase-experimental, com pré-teste e pós-teste, realizado com 33 adultos sem diabetes, avaliados com a Escala Diabetes-Prev. A intervenção consistiu em um programa educacional liderado por enfermeiras, focado na promoção de hábitos saudáveis, estruturado em sessões que incluíam estratégias pedagógicas em saúde adaptadas ao contexto, entre elas a criação de ambientes favoráveis, demonstrações e atividades em grupo, gamificação e o uso de tecnologias da informação e comunicação. Resultados. A mediana de idade dos adultos foi de 47 anos, com maior proporção de mulheres (93.9%), em união estável ou casadas (69.7%), com ensino fundamental (84.8%) e com sobre peso (60.6%). Antes da intervenção de educação em saúde, a prática de medidas preventivas era regular (48.5%) e, após a intervenção, tornou-se favorável (97%). A mediana da prática de medidas preventivas contra o diabetes em nível global passou de 76 pontos na pré-avaliação para 115 pontos na pós-avaliação, em uma escala de 132 pontos possíveis; por dimensões, também foi observado um efeito significativo da intervenção (p<0.001). A magnitude do efeito da intervenção foi grande (r = 0.73). Os preditores independentes no modelo linear generalizado foram a idade, o estado civil e o Índice de Massa Corporal, além das interações entre idade, estado civil e nível de escolaridade com o BMI. Conclusão. A intervenção educacional liderada pela equipe de enfermagem produziu um efeito favorável e significativo na prática de medidas preventivas contra o diabetes nos participantes.
