To compare foreign- and Swedish-born persons, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, to study whether there are dissimilarities in knowledge about diabetes and to study determinants of knowledge.
A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted.
Data were collected between September 2014 and March 2016, using the standardized Diabetes Knowledge Test (DKT), statistically analysed.
The results showed dissimilarities in knowledge between foreign- and Swedish-born persons, supporting the hypothesis that foreign-born persons had lower knowledge about diabetes than Swedish-born persons. There was a relationship between poor knowledge and country of birth, marital status and employment status. Country of birth was the strongest independent determinant of knowledge about diabetes. The risk of poor knowledge was ten times higher among persons born in the Middle East or in another country outside Europe compared with Swedish-born persons. Other influencing factors for poor knowledge about diabetes were being not gainfully employed and living alone.
比较被诊断为2型糖尿病的外国出生者和瑞典出生者，研究他们在糖尿病知识方面是否存在差异，并研究知识的决定因素。
进行了一项横断面描述性研究。
在2014年9月至2016年3月期间收集数据，使用标准化的糖尿病知识测试（DKT），并进行统计分析。
结果显示外国出生者和瑞典出生者在知识方面存在差异，支持了外国出生者比瑞典出生者对糖尿病知识了解更少的假设。知识水平差与出生国家、婚姻状况和就业状况之间存在关联。出生国家是糖尿病知识最强的独立决定因素。与瑞典出生者相比，出生在中东或欧洲以外其他国家的人知识水平差的风险高出十倍。糖尿病知识水平差的其他影响因素是没有从事有报酬的工作和独居。
