Abstract
BACKGROUND: To control blood sugar and prevent complications related to diabetes, eating fruits
and vegetables in standard amounts is recommended. The aim of this study was to investigate the
factors affecting the consumption of fruits and vegetables in diabetic patients based on the Pender
health promotion model.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross‑sectional study was conducted on 260 diabetic patients in
Sirjan; one of the cities of Kerman in Iran in 2020. To collect data, a researcher‑made questionnaire
of Pender’s Health Promotion Model and a standard Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
questionnaire were used to measure fruit and vegetable consumption. Data were analyzed using
SPSS24 software. Data were analyzed using t‑test, Pearson correlation coefficient, linear regression,
and path analysis. Significance level <0.05 was considered.
RESULTS: The study showed that 71.5% of patients consumed fruits three or more times and 52.3%
consumed vegetables per week. Employment, income, education, and gender were significantly
associated with fruit and vegetable consumption (P < 0.05). Perceived barriers (P < 0.0001, β =0.23),
self‑efficacy (P < 0.0001, β =0.32), and commitment to action plan (P = 0.002, β =0.20) were the
main predictors of fruit and vegetable consumption.
CONCLUSION: In this study, self‑efficacy was the strongest predictor of fruit and vegetable
consumption in diabetic patients. Therefore, it is necessary to consider health education as well as
health promotion interventions based on these variables is considered to increase the consumption
of fruits and vegetables for diabetic patients.
