The aim of this study was to explore the perception and understanding of men with type 2 diabetes about their illness control, risk for CVD and their adherence to healthcare management plans in Jordan.
A qualitative descriptive design was used, recruiting a purposive sample of 13 men diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Data were collected between February and April 2019 through in-depth semi-structured interviews and analysed using content analysis.
Data analysis revealed four themes: (a) Perception of diabetes control; (b) Perception of cardiovascular disease risk; (c) Coping with disease-imposed limitations; and (d) Information validation.
The study concludes that the perception of disease control does not necessarily coincide with actual disease control. Examining patients with diabetes perception and knowledge of their healthcare management and increased CVD risks is essential. An individualized culture and gender-sensitive health education and counselling involving spouses are recommended. Social media to disseminate scientific valid health instructions can enhance adherence.
本研究旨在探讨约旦2型糖尿病男性患者对疾病控制、心血管疾病风险以及他们对医疗管理计划依从性的认知和理解。
采用定性描述性设计，有目的地选取了13名被诊断为2型糖尿病的男性作为样本。
2019年2月至4月期间，通过深入的半结构化访谈收集数据，并采用内容分析法进行分析。
数据分析揭示了四个主题：（a）糖尿病控制的认知；（b）心血管疾病风险的认知；（c）应对疾病带来的限制；（d）信息验证。
该研究得出结论，疾病控制的认知不一定与实际疾病控制情况相符。检查糖尿病患者对其医疗管理的认知和了解以及增加的心血管疾病风险至关重要。建议开展个性化的、对文化和性别敏感的健康教育以及让配偶参与的咨询。利用社交媒体传播科学有效的健康指导可以提高依从性。
