Abstract

Background: Public knowledge about the role of lifestyle in managing type two diabetes (T2D) is an essential preventive strategy. Despite efforts in public awareness, the prevalence continues to rise, with the majority relying on the availability of effective therapeutics, underestimating the role of healthy lifestyle changes. This study aims to assess public awareness of the impact of lifestyle modification in managing T2D in a major metropolitan city in Saudi Arabia, which will help inform the health management authority in the country on the level of public awareness and advise on the development of educational programs.

Methods: An observational cross-sectional survey study comprising 16 knowledge and 6 attitude questions was conducted among the population over 18 years old using online survey. After validation, the online self-developed questionnaire was distributed through social media.

Results: The knowledge and attitude scores were similar between males and females. Participants with a family member or friend with T2D demonstrated higher knowledge scores. However, the attitude scores did not differ significantly based on family or friend relationships.

Conclusion: The knowledge and attitude on the role of lifestyle modifications in preventing and managing T2D is moderate, implying an opportunity for innovative strategies to raise public knowledge and attitude.

沙特阿拉伯吉达对改变生活方式在糖尿病治疗中的作用的认识和态度。

背景：让公众了解生活方式在控制二型糖尿病（T2D）中的作用是一项重要的预防策略。尽管在提高公众意识方面做出了努力，但患病率仍在继续上升，大多数人依赖于有效的治疗方法，而低估了改变健康生活方式的作用。本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯一个主要大都市的公众对改变生活方式对控制 T2D 的影响的认识，这将有助于该国卫生管理部门了解公众的认识水平，并为制定教育计划提供建议：采用在线调查的方式，对 18 岁以上人群进行了一项观察性横断面调查研究，其中包括 16 个知识问题和 6 个态度问题。经过验证后，通过社交媒体分发了自行开发的在线问卷：男性和女性的知识和态度得分相似。有家人或朋友患有 T2D 的参与者的知识得分更高。然而，态度得分并未因家人或朋友的关系而有显著差异：结论：人们对改变生活方式在预防和控制 T2D 方面的作用的认识和态度一般，这意味着有机会采取创新策略来提高公众的认识和态度。
