This study aims to establish the Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) of the general population (people with and without diabetes) towards diabetes. The study will examine (a) recognition and understanding of causes, prevention and treatment strategies of diabetes; (b) identify the knowledge gaps and behavioural patterns that may hamper diabetes prevention and control; (c) stigma towards and stigma perceived by people with diabetes and (d) awareness of anti-diabetes campaigns.
The study is a nationwide, cross-sectional study of Singapore's general population aged 18 years and above (n=3000), comprising Chinese, Malay, Indian and other ethnic groups, who can understand English, Chinese, Malay or Tamil language. The sample was derived using a disproportionate stratified sampling using age and ethnicity. The proportion of respondents in each ethnic group (Chinese, Malay and Indian) was set to approximately 30%, while the proportion of respondents in each age group was set around 20% in order to ensure a sufficient sample size. The respondents will be administered questionnaires on diabetes KAP, stigma towards diabetes, lifestyle, diet and awareness of local anti-diabetes campaigns. The analysis will include descriptive statistics and multiple logistic and linear regression analyses to determine the socio-demographic correlates of correct recognition of diabetes, help-seeking preferences, as well as overall knowledge and attitudes among those with and without diabetes. We will consider a p value ≤0.05 as significant.
This study protocol has been reviewed by the Institutional Research Review Committee and the National Healthcare Group Domain Specific Review Board (NHG DSRB Ref 2018/00430). The results of the study will be shared with policymakers and other stakeholders. There will be a local mass media briefing to disseminate the findings online, in print and on television and radio. The results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented in scientific meetings.
本研究旨在了解普通人群（有或没有糖尿病的人群）对糖尿病的知识、态度和实践（KAP）。本研究将检查：（a）对糖尿病的病因、预防和治疗策略的认知和理解；（b）确定可能阻碍糖尿病预防和控制的知识差距和行为模式；（c）糖尿病患者的污名化和感知污名化；（d）对糖尿病防治运动的认识。
本研究是一项全国性的、横断面的新加坡普通人群（年龄在 18 岁及以上，n=3000 人）研究，包括华人、马来人、印度人和其他族裔，他们能理解英语、中文、马来语或泰米尔语。采用按年龄和种族分层的不等比例抽样方法抽取样本。每个族裔（华人、马来人和印度人）的受访者比例设定约为 30%，而每个年龄组的受访者比例设定约为 20%，以确保有足够的样本量。将向受访者发放关于糖尿病 KAP、对糖尿病的污名化、生活方式、饮食和对当地糖尿病防治运动的认识的问卷。分析将包括描述性统计以及多逻辑和线性回归分析，以确定正确识别糖尿病、寻求帮助的偏好以及有和没有糖尿病的人群的总体知识和态度的社会人口统计学相关因素。我们将考虑 p 值≤0.05 为显著。
本研究方案已通过机构研究审查委员会和国家医疗保健集团特定领域审查委员会（NHG DSRB Ref 2018/00430）审查。研究结果将与政策制定者和其他利益相关者分享。将举行一次当地大众媒体吹风会，在线、印刷、电视和广播上传播研究结果。研究结果将发表在同行评议期刊上，并在科学会议上展示。
