Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a growing problem with increasing global prevalence and the most common cause of mortality worldwide. Knowledge about the disease and risk factors reduces exposure to modifiable risk factors and, as a result, contributes to prevention. As diabetes is a prevalent disease and there is limited research about CVD risk factors in Ethiopia, we conducted a study to assess this knowledge. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on diabetes mellitus patients on follow-up at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital from April 11 to May 16, 2021. The participants were selected using a consecutive sampling method. Knowledge was measured using a heart disease fact questionnaire, and a score of less than 70% was defined as suboptimal. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 26.0. Associations between dependent and independent variables were identified based on AOR, with 95% CI and a p value less than or equal to 0.05. Result: A total of 404 patients with a mean age of 52.03 ± 14.39 participated in the study, and more than half, 217 (53.7%), of patients were females. About half of the patients (52%) had good knowledge of CVD risk factors. In multivariable logistic regression, urban residency (AOR, 3.335; 95% CI [1.134-9.809]), higher educational level (AOR, 4.016; 95% CI [1.78-9.061]), being employed (AOR, 1.942; 95% CI [1.058-3.566]), and hearing information about CVD risk factors (AOR, 2.492; 95% CI [1.573-3.949]) are associated with knowledge of CVD risk factors. Conclusion: This study revealed that almost half of diabetes mellitus patients had suboptimal knowledge about CVD risk factors. Urban residence, higher education level, employment, and information about CVD risk factors are positively associated with good knowledge of CVD risk factors. Health education is needed to improve their knowledge.

2021年埃塞俄比亚提库尔安贝萨专科医院糖尿病患者心血管疾病危险因素知识评估:一项横断面研究
导读:心血管疾病(cvd)是一个日益严重的问题,全球患病率不断上升,也是全世界最常见的死亡原因。对疾病和风险因素的了解减少了接触可改变风险因素的机会,从而有助于预防。由于糖尿病是一种流行疾病,而关于埃塞俄比亚心血管疾病危险因素的研究有限,我们进行了一项研究来评估这方面的知识。方法:对2021年4月11日至5月16日在提库尔安贝萨专科医院随访的糖尿病患者进行横断面研究。研究对象采用连续抽样方法进行选择。知识是通过心脏病事实问卷来衡量的,得分低于70%被定义为次优。数据分析采用SPSS 26.0版本。根据AOR确定因变量和自变量之间的关联,95% CI和p值小于或等于0.05。结果:共404例患者参与研究,平均年龄(52.03±14.39)岁,其中女性患者217例(53.7%),占患者总数的一半以上。大约一半的患者(52%)对心血管疾病的危险因素有很好的了解。在多变量logistic回归中,城市居住(AOR, 3.335;95% CI[1.134-9.809]),高学历(AOR, 4.016;95% CI[1.78-9.061]),被雇用(AOR, 1.942;95% CI[1.058-3.566]),以及关于心血管疾病危险因素的听力信息(AOR, 2.492;95% CI[1.573-3.949])与心血管疾病危险因素的认知相关。结论:本研究显示,近一半的糖尿病患者对心血管疾病危险因素的认识不足。城市居住、高等教育程度、就业和心血管疾病危险因素信息与心血管疾病危险因素知识呈正相关。需要健康教育来提高他们的知识。
