Lack of awareness about chronic kidney disease is prevalent and disrupts glycaemic control. In Saudi Arabia many authors highlighted the problem and called for educational interventions to be designed. Our study is the first to address this issue in Saudi Arabia and evaluate a brief educator-led educational intervention in terms of boosting awareness about and knowledge of chronic kidney disease among type two diabetes patients.
This was an educational interventional investigation of patients with type two attending diabetes clinic in Taif, Saudi Arabia. The effect of a brief educational intervention focused on awareness about chronic kidney disease was assessed using chronic kidney disease knowledge scale before and after the intervention.
We included (n = 100) type two diabetes patients. We estimated good reliability and internal consistency for the knowledge score (Cronbach's alpha was 0.79). Following the educational session, awareness about chronic kidney disease rose from 77 to 100% and knowledge score increased form 7.6 points at baseline to a 15.2 points; paired t value = 15.984, p < 0.00001). Improvement in awareness of chronic kidney disease was associated with being in employment, female sex, and shorter diabetes duration.
Brief educational intervention among patients with type two diabetes in Saudi Arabia leads to substantial improvement in awareness of and knowledge about chronic kidney disease. All items related to knowledge about chronic kidney disease improved substantially following educational intervention. It is recommended that all patients attending diabetes clinics receive focused education about chronic kidney disease.

对慢性肾脏病缺乏认识的情况普遍存在，且会干扰血糖控制。在沙特阿拉伯，许多作者强调了这一问题，并呼吁设计教育干预措施。我们的研究是沙特阿拉伯首个针对此问题的研究，旨在评估由教育工作者主导的简短教育干预对提高2型糖尿病患者对慢性肾脏病的认识和知识水平的效果。
这是一项针对沙特阿拉伯塔伊夫糖尿病诊所2型患者的教育干预性调查。使用慢性肾脏病知识量表在干预前后评估聚焦于慢性肾脏病认识的简短教育干预的效果。
我们纳入了100名2型糖尿病患者。我们估计知识得分具有良好的信度和内部一致性（克朗巴哈系数为0.79）。教育课程结束后，对慢性肾脏病的认识从77%升至100%，知识得分从基线时的7.6分提高到15.2分；配对t值 = 15.984，p < 0.00001）。对慢性肾脏病认识的提高与就业、女性性别以及较短的糖尿病病程相关。
沙特阿拉伯2型糖尿病患者的简短教育干预可显著提高对慢性肾脏病的认识和知识水平。教育干预后，所有与慢性肾脏病知识相关的项目都有显著改善。建议所有就诊于糖尿病诊所的患者接受关于慢性肾脏病的针对性教育。
