Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Prediabetes is the intermediate stage in the development of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and becoming alarm to the world. It can be reversed with early management eventhough it was unavoidable. Problem-solving skills provide a simple and cost-effective method for altering his or her cognitive behaviour and able to empower individuals to take responsibility for their decisions. Thus, this study was conducted to develop and validate applying the problem-solving approach in a lifestyle intervention. The main objective of this study was to encourage prediabetic individuals in the community to adopt a new healthy lifestyle by emphasising problem-solving techniques as the primary means of preventing diabetes in the long run. METHODS: The structured collective agreement between experienced and knowledgeable experts of relevant stakeholders was gathered systematically through extensive literature review and expert discussion. Then, content validity was conducted among the experts, followed by face validity from the community in Pasir Mas. The outcome of validation phase was measured quantitively by a validated questionnaire. This module was adjusted based on their feedback and reviews.
RESULTS: A group of twenty participants had undergone the module. As a result, our problem-solving approach was found to be validated in promoting the adoption of a healthy lifestyle.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: In conclusion, our findings shed light on the future implementation of innovative lifestyle intervention education in the community as early preventive measures for diabetes. Further assessment effectiveness and impact of this tool at the community level is fundamental for facing the challenges of the current pandemic.
