The aim of this study was to assess diabetes self-care practice and associated factors among diabetes patients attending Felege-Hiwot Referral Hospital, Bahir Dar, Northwest Ethiopia.
Prevalence of desirable self-care behaviors toward Diabetes Mellitus was 28.4% (95% CI 24.0-32.7%). There were significant association between the combined treatment modality of tablet with insulin (AOR: 2.72; 95% CI 1.01, 7.40), primary and secondary education level (AOR: 4.82; 95% CI 1.88, 12.35 and AOR: 3.08; 95% CI 1.26, 7.53, respectively). A considerable number of the patients had poor self-care practice, especially lack of social support and treatment modality, which have critical roles in controlling diabetes. Therefore, attention should be given to improve self-care practice.
本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚西北部巴赫达尔市费莱格 - 希沃特转诊医院的糖尿病患者的糖尿病自我护理实践及相关因素。
糖尿病患者理想的自我护理行为患病率为28.4%（95%可信区间24.0 - 32.7%）。服用片剂与胰岛素联合治疗方式（比值比：2.72；95%可信区间1.01, 7.40）、小学和中学教育水平（比值比分别为：4.82；95%可信区间1.88, 12.35和比值比：3.08；95%可信区间1.26, 7.53）之间存在显著关联。相当数量的患者自我护理实践较差，尤其是缺乏社会支持和治疗方式，而这些在控制糖尿病方面起着关键作用。因此，应关注改善自我护理实践。
