Abstract

Background: Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a non-communicable disease, with an estimated prevalence based on the International Diabetes Foundation (IDF) to increase by 46%. Community knowledge about T2DM is relatively low. Improving this level of knowledge is essential to reduce the prevalence of this disease. Objective: To determine the correlation between patients' knowledge and characteristics of T2DM. Method: Knowledge was measured using the Indonesian translation of the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire 24 (DKQ-24), which was distributed to 300 patients who met the inclusion criteria. This study used the cross-sectional method. Result: The results showed that the level of knowledge obtained high knowledge with a score of ≥ 12 in 151 patients (53%), while a low level of knowledge with a score of < 12 was in 149 patients (47%). Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and education, work, and blood glucose parameters. Furthermore, a high knowledge level was associated with better blood glucose control. Conclusion: This study concluded that knowledge and education determined the patient's glycemic control.

2 型糖尿病患者控制血糖的知识与特征之间的相关性

背景：2 型糖尿病（T2DM）是一种非传染性疾病：2 型糖尿病（T2DM）是一种非传染性疾病，根据国际糖尿病基金会（IDF）的估计，其发病率将增加 46%。社区对 T2DM 的了解相对较少。要降低这种疾病的发病率，就必须提高人们的知识水平：确定患者对 T2DM 的了解程度与 T2DM 特征之间的相关性：方法：使用印尼语翻译的糖尿病知识问卷 24 (DKQ-24)，对符合纳入标准的 300 名患者进行知识测量。本研究采用横断面方法：结果显示，151 名患者（53%）的知识水平≥ 12 分，获得了较高的知识水平；149 名患者（47%）的知识水平＜ 12 分，获得了较低的知识水平。此外，知识水平与教育程度、工作和血糖参数之间也有重要关系。此外，高知识水平与更好的血糖控制有关：本研究认为，知识和教育程度决定了患者的血糖控制情况。
