Inadequate diabetes self-care knowledge leads to developing diabetic complications and death. Diabetic complications are directly related to the patient's level of diabetic self-care knowledge.
The purpose of this study was to assess diabetic self-care knowledge and its associated factors among adult diabetes mellitus patients on follow-up care at North Shewa Zone government hospitals, Oromia Region, Ethiopia, 2020.
An institution-based cross-sectional study was employed using a consecutive sampling technique from January 1 to February 30/2020 among 245 adult diabetes mellitus patients on follow-up care at North Shewa Zone government Hospitals, Oromia Region, Ethiopia. We used Epi data version 3.1 to enter the data and SPSS version 25 for analysis. Both bivariable and multivariable logistic regression was used to identify significant factors for knowledge of diabetic self-care.
In this study, from a total of 245 diabetic patients, 230 participated giving a response rate of 93.87%. More than half of the study respondents, 156 (67.8%), had good diabetes self-care knowledge and variables such as being employed (AOR; 0.146, 95%; CI 0.18-0.94), having information on diabetic self-care (AOR; 3.003, 95% CI 1.24-5.3) and urban residency (AOR; 0.27, 955 CI 0.099-0.532) were found to be independent factors affecting diabetic self-care knowledge.
The magnitude of diabetes self-care knowledge was not adequate and some critical knowledge gaps were also identified in specific areas which reflect that there is a need to improve diabetic self-care knowledge among patients by implementing adequately and continuous diabetic self-care education programs.
糖尿病自我护理知识不足会导致糖尿病并发症的发生和死亡。糖尿病并发症与患者的糖尿病自我护理知识水平直接相关。
本研究旨在评估2020年埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚州北谢瓦地区政府医院接受随访护理的成年糖尿病患者的糖尿病自我护理知识及其相关因素。
采用基于机构的横断面研究，于2020年1月1日至2月29日使用连续抽样技术，对埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚州北谢瓦地区政府医院245名接受随访护理的成年糖尿病患者进行研究。我们使用Epi数据3.1版本录入数据，并使用SPSS 25版本进行分析。双变量和多变量逻辑回归用于确定糖尿病自我护理知识的重要因素。
在本研究中，245名糖尿病患者中共有230名参与，应答率为93.87%。超过一半的研究受访者，即156名（67.8%），具有良好的糖尿病自我护理知识，就业（调整后比值比[AOR]；0.146，95%置信区间[CI] 0.18 - 0.94）、拥有糖尿病自我护理信息（AOR；3.003，95% CI 1.24 - 5.3）和城市居住（AOR；0.27，95% CI 0.099 - 0.532）等变量被发现是影响糖尿病自我护理知识的独立因素。
糖尿病自我护理知识水平不足，在特定领域还发现了一些关键的知识差距，这表明需要通过实施充分且持续的糖尿病自我护理教育项目来提高患者的糖尿病自我护理知识。
