To evaluate knowledge of diabetes using diabetes knowledge questionnaire in diabetic patients.
The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad, Pakistan, from October to December 2017, and comprised subjects aged >20 years with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. The modified version of diabetes knowledge questionnaire was used for data collection. It had 24 questions concerning patient's diabetes knowledge and self-care practices. One point was given for each correct answer. The highest achievable score was 24. A total score of ?12 was considered suggestive of adequate knowledge. SPSS 23 was used for data analysis.
Of the 401 subjects, 175 (43.6%) were males and 226 (66.4%) were females. The overall mean age was 52.9 }12.3 years, and mean duration of diabetes was 7.95}6.7 years. The mean score on the questionnaire was 9.97}3.93. Only 135(33.7%) patients showed adequate knowledge of the disease. Factors having positive correlation with the score were patient's urban background, level of literacy and their socioeconomic status (p<0.05 each). The duration of diabetes and the control of diabetes had no influence on the scores (p>0.05 each).
Knowledge about diabetes was found to be generally poor among diabetics.
使用糖尿病知识问卷评估糖尿病患者对糖尿病的认知情况。
2017年10月至12月在巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡的巴基斯坦医学科学研究所开展了一项横断面研究，纳入年龄大于20岁且诊断为2型糖尿病的受试者。采用糖尿病知识问卷的修订版收集数据。该问卷有24个关于患者糖尿病知识和自我护理实践的问题。每个正确答案得1分。最高可得分为24分。总分≥12分被认为提示有足够的知识。使用SPSS 23进行数据分析。
结果。
401名受试者中，175名（43.6%）为男性，226名（66.4%）为女性。总体平均年龄为52.9±12.3岁，糖尿病平均病程为7.95±6.7年。问卷平均得分为9.97±3.93分。只有135名（33.7%）患者对该疾病有足够的认知。与得分呈正相关的因素是患者的城市背景、识字水平及其社会经济地位（各p<0.05）。糖尿病病程和糖尿病控制情况对得分无影响（各p>0.05）。
糖尿病患者对糖尿病的认知普遍较差。
