Abstract

Aim

This study explores the diverse factors influencing the eye care adherence of individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Shiraz. The lack of effective strategies in Iran to improve eye care behaviors and reduce retinopathy incidence in diabetes patients necessitates this research. The goal is to assess factors that affect this adherence.

Method

A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Shiraz, Iran during 2022–2023. This study's primary data collection tool was an exhaustive questionnaire. This was carefully designed to include various sections, each focusing on different aspects relevant to the study's aim.

Result

The study found that being female, married, literate, and overweight resulted in more annual ophthalmology visits. Possessing additional insurance and adhering to diabetic controls and care were positively correlated with ophthalmology visits. Less reliance on family income or loans led to better eye care. The shorter duration of diabetes and proximity to a diabetic care unit were crucial factors for improved eye protection.

Conclusion

This study offers insights into the various factors affecting eye care utilization patterns among individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Shiraz. The study's findings underscore the significance of demographic factors in influencing individuals' engagement in self-care practices and their access to eye care services. Further research is needed to delve into the cultural and sociodemographic determinants underlying these trends, which will aid in developing treatments that cater to the diverse needs of individuals with diabetes.

评估伊朗设拉子 2 型糖尿病患者坚持眼科护理的多维决定因素

研究目的：本研究探讨了影响设拉子市 2 型糖尿病患者坚持用眼的各种因素。伊朗缺乏有效的策略来改善糖尿病患者的眼部护理行为并降低视网膜病变的发病率，因此有必要开展此项研究。研究的目的是评估影响糖尿病患者坚持用眼的因素。方法 2022-2023 年期间在伊朗设拉子进行了一项横断面调查。这项研究的主要数据收集工具是一份详尽的调查问卷。研究发现，女性、已婚、识字和超重会导致每年眼科就诊次数增加。拥有额外保险、坚持糖尿病控制和护理与眼科就诊次数呈正相关。对家庭收入或贷款的依赖程度越低，眼科护理的效果越好。糖尿病持续时间较短和靠近糖尿病护理单位是改善眼睛保护的关键因素。研究结果表明，人口统计因素对个人参与自我保健实践和获得眼科保健服务具有重要影响。需要进一步研究这些趋势背后的文化和社会人口决定因素，这将有助于开发满足糖尿病患者不同需求的治疗方法。
