In this study was to determine knowledge of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and to explore related factors among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) who have not been diagnosed with CVD. This descriptive study was conducted with 175 adults. Data were collected individual identification form and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Knowledge Level (CARRF-KL) scale. A negative correlation was found between age and CARRF-KL score. A significant difference was found between educational status and CARRF-KL score. The individuals described their health status as good, managed their condition with diet and exercise, received information from nurses, adults with DM in their family and those with no DM complications had significantly higher scores in CARRF-KL. The knowledge of an individual with DM about CVD risk factors should be assessed, CVD risks should be identified at an early stage, and individuals at risk should be subjected to screening.
本研究旨在确定未被诊断患有心血管疾病 (CVD) 的 2 型糖尿病 (DM) 成年人对 CVD 风险因素的认识，并探讨相关因素。这是一项描述性研究，共纳入了 175 名成年人。数据收集采用个人识别表和心血管疾病风险因素知识水平 (CARRF-KL) 量表。研究结果显示，年龄与 CARRF-KL 评分呈负相关，受教育程度与 CARRF-KL 评分存在显著差异。个体将其健康状况描述为良好，通过饮食和运动来控制病情，从护士、有 DM 家族史的成年人和没有 DM 并发症的个体那里获得信息，这些个体在 CARRF-KL 量表上的得分显著更高。应该评估 DM 个体对 CVD 风险因素的了解程度，应尽早识别 CVD 风险，并对处于风险中的个体进行筛查。
