Globally, 643 million people will be affected by 2030, and 783 million by 2045 with diabetes mellitus (DM), a severe disease that affects 537 million people worldwide in 2021. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has the highest prevalence of diabetes mellitus among the top ten countries worldwide. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify the factors influencing diabetes care and assess their relative importance. Research was conducted in the Hail region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study recruited 258 diabetes patients visiting the Primary Health Centers in Hail City as part of their routine healthcare. Analyzing the data was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS-22). As far as Cronbach's Alpha is concerned, it was 0.717, and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) was 0.705. The study has found that the six factors including accessibility of diabetes care (p = .024), availability of diabetes services (p = .029), quality of diabetes care (p = .024), disease management strategies (p = .037), basic amenities of health system (p = .028) and health education resources (p = .030) play a significant role in providing diabetes care services to patients. According to the adjusted R of 0.773 (p 0.001), diabetes care is significantly influenced by these six variables. The comparative importance of the factors indicates that, out of six, quality of diabetes care is the most influential; the availability of diabetes services and health education resources are the second and third most influential factors. In order to provide better care for diabetic patients, healthcare organizations should focus on these factors.
全球范围内，到2030年将有6.43亿人受糖尿病影响，到2045年将有7.83亿人受影响。糖尿病是一种严重疾病，2021年全球有5.37亿人受其影响。沙特阿拉伯王国在全球十大糖尿病患病率最高的国家中位居榜首。因此，本研究旨在确定影响糖尿病护理的因素并评估其相对重要性。研究在沙特阿拉伯王国的哈伊勒地区进行。该研究招募了258名前往哈伊勒市初级卫生中心接受常规医疗保健的糖尿病患者。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS - 22）进行数据分析。就克朗巴哈系数而言，为0.717，凯泽 - 迈耶 - 奥尔金（KMO）值为0.705。研究发现，包括糖尿病护理的可及性（p = 0.024）、糖尿病服务的可获得性（p = 0.029）、糖尿病护理质量（p = 0.024）、疾病管理策略（p = 0.037）、卫生系统的基本设施（p = 0.028）和健康教育资源（p = 0.030）这六个因素在为患者提供糖尿病护理服务方面发挥着重要作用。根据调整后的R值为0.773（p < 0.001），这六个变量对糖尿病护理有显著影响。各因素的相对重要性表明，在这六个因素中，糖尿病护理质量影响最大；糖尿病服务的可获得性和健康教育资源分别是第二和第三大影响因素。为了为糖尿病患者提供更好的护理，医疗机构应关注这些因素。
