INTRODUCTION
One of the challenges facing the management of diabetes is the misconception and inadequate knowledge about the disease. We assessed the level of diabetes-related knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among patients with diabetes in North-western Nigeria.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study. A total of 400 participants were recruited. A KAP questionnaire was used to assess the KAP of the patients. Glycated hemoglobin was used to measure the level of glucose control of the study participants.
RESULTS
The mean age of the patients was 51 years, majority being females 233 (58.3%). The mean knowledge score was 6.2 ± 3.1 points (out of 15), average attitude score was 2.5 ± 1.5 points (out of 5), and the mean practice score was 2.1 ± 1.3 points (out of 6). The level of KAP was found to be directly related to glycemic control (P < 0.01). The level of education (odds ratio [OR]: 5.0 and 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.196-0.452) and monthly income (OR: 4.4 and 95% CI: 0.123-0.326) were found to be independent predictors of diabetes-related KAP.
CONCLUSION
The study has demonstrated poor diabetes-related KAP. The patient's level of education and income plays a major role in the management of diabetes.
简介
糖尿病管理面临的挑战之一是对该疾病的误解和知识不足。我们评估了尼日利亚西北部糖尿病患者的糖尿病相关知识、态度和实践（KAP）水平。
材料和方法
这是一项基于医院的横断面研究。共招募了 400 名参与者。使用 KAP 问卷评估患者的 KAP。糖化血红蛋白用于衡量研究参与者的血糖控制水平。
结果
患者的平均年龄为 51 岁，女性占多数，共 233 人（58.3%）。平均知识得分为 6.2 ± 3.1 分（满分 15 分），平均态度得分为 2.5 ± 1.5 分（满分 5 分），平均实践得分为 2.1 ± 1.3 分（满分 6 分）。KAP 水平与血糖控制呈正相关（P < 0.01）。教育程度（优势比[OR]：5.0 和 95%置信区间[CI]：0.196-0.452）和月收入（OR：4.4 和 95%CI：0.123-0.326）被发现是糖尿病相关 KAP 的独立预测因素。
结论
该研究表明糖尿病相关的 KAP 水平较差。患者的教育程度和收入在糖尿病管理中起着重要作用。
