กัลยาณมิตรกับแนวคิดการปรับเปลี่ยนพฤติกรรมสุขภาพ

Abstract

              This paper aims to study the principle of the good friends in terms of Buddhism (which is called Kalayanamitr) so as to support the theory that Kalayanamitr can be used with DM health behavior modification. 
             The result of the study finds that Kalayanamitr in varoius forms can lead to the better ways in all aspects. Kalayanamitr who have influence in modifying health behavior in DM patients can refer to their family members, the DM patients in the group, related health-care treatment teams and last but not least, the Lord Buddha who is always on their mind as moral support. The main success factors that make the Kalayanamitr's complete and perfect, consist of the three things as follows : 1) Patients' awareness after having associated with their Kalayanamitr. 2) Kalayanamitr's Quality /qualifications. 3) Pleasant environment that helps make the healthcare behavior of DM patients very much better continuously.
