The purpose of this study was to describe the perceptions of African American (AA) women with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) about developing diabetes mellitus (DM) complications and explore how their perceived risk influenced DM self-management. Ten ( = 10) AA women participated in the qualitative description study through semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis informed by the Health Belief Model and Risk Perception Conceptual Model revealed the perceived probability of DM complications by AA women with T2DM and how they made judgments regarding the seriousness, extent, or severity of complications. Those with high levels of DM knowledge perceived themselves at high risk of developing DM complications and those with low DM knowledge perceived themselves at low risk of DM complications. Risk perceptions and health literacy also influenced DM self-management behaviors.
本研究旨在描述 2 型糖尿病（T2DM）的非裔美国女性（AA）对糖尿病（DM）并发症发展的认知，并探讨其感知风险如何影响 DM 自我管理。通过半结构式访谈，10 名 AA 女性参与了定性描述研究。以健康信念模型和风险感知概念模型为指导的主题分析揭示了 T2DM 的 AA 女性对 DM 并发症的感知概率，以及她们如何判断并发症的严重程度、程度或严重程度。那些具有较高 DM 知识水平的人认为自己有很高的患 DM 并发症的风险，而那些 DM 知识水平较低的人则认为自己患 DM 并发症的风险较低。风险认知和健康素养也会影响 DM 自我管理行为。
