Abstract

Aims

We aimed to investigate the status quo of self-management knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors (KAB) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in community health service centers.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study of 755 patients from 16 primary community using a questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression was used to explore the independent factors influencing patients’ T2DM self-management KAB.

Results

We evaluated 755 patients with T2DM (mean age 64.65 ± 10.53 years). Most patients in this study had lower education levels, and a non-medical professional background. Only the average score for attitude reached a good level; average scores for patients’ self-management behavior were at a poor level. Normal blood pressure, not smoking, and a longer course of disease were factors positively influencing good self-management behavior in patients with diabetes.

Conclusion

Patients had positive attitudes toward self-management. Therefore, primary medical institutions should consider implementing tailored educational interventions to enhance diabetes awareness and self-management behaviors among diverse patient populations.

中国西部某社区 2 型糖尿病患者的自我管理知识、态度和行为：一项横断面研究。

目的：我们旨在调查社区卫生服务中心 2 型糖尿病（T2DM）患者的自我管理知识、态度和行为（KAB）现状：我们使用问卷对 16 个基层社区的 755 名患者进行了横断面研究。结果：我们对来自 16 个基层社区的 755 名糖尿病患者进行了横断面调查，并采用多元逻辑回归法探讨了影响患者 T2DM 自我管理 KAB 的独立因素：我们对 755 名 T2DM 患者（平均年龄为 64.65 ± 10.53 岁）进行了评估。本研究中的大多数患者受教育程度较低，且具有非医学专业背景。只有态度的平均得分达到良好水平；患者自我管理行为的平均得分处于较差水平。血压正常、不吸烟、病程较长是影响糖尿病患者良好自我管理行为的积极因素：患者对自我管理持积极态度。因此，基层医疗机构应考虑实施有针对性的教育干预措施，以提高不同患者群体的糖尿病意识和自我管理行为。
