Non-adherence to diabetes microvascular complications follow-up screening in the primary care population: Predictors, associated barriers, and facilitators
Aims
We determined the rates, predictors, and barriers/facilitators of non-adherence to annual follow-up screenings for Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), nephropathy (DN) and foot complications (DFC) screening in primary care patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods
This prospective, mixed-method, clinical study, included 934 patients (mean ± SD age 60.4 ± 9.4 years, 46.9 % women) who underwent DR/DN/DFC screenings (N = 2012 appointments). Logistic regression analysis determined the baseline predictors of non-adherence to follow-up screening (failure to attend annual follow-up screening within ± 4 months). Qualitative interviews on barriers/facilitators of screening adherence were conducted with 36/24 non-adherent/adherent patients and 9 healthcare professionals (HCPs).
Results
Non-adherence rates to DR, DFC and DN follow-up screening were 27.6 % (n = 186), 29.8 % (n = 225) and 12.7 % (n = 74), respectively. Predictors included higher total cholesterol (DR); poor self-rated Diabetes Control (DN); and higher satisfaction with diabetes support (DFC and DN). Better self-efficacy was protective (DFC). Poor HCP-patient communication and long waiting times were patient-reported barriers to adherence, while knowledge about benefits of diabetes complications screening was a facilitator. Time constraints prevented HCPs from reinforcing the importance of screening to patients.
Conclusions
Non-adherence to diabetic microvascular complications follow-up screening was suboptimal in Singapore and driven by multi-faceted predictors and barriers. Targeted interventions are needed to improve follow-up screening adherence.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice is an international journal for health-care providers and clinically oriented researchers that publishes high-quality original research articles and expert reviews in diabetes and related areas. The role of the journal is to provide a venue for dissemination of knowledge and discussion of topics related to diabetes clinical research and patient care. Topics of focus include translational science, genetics, immunology, nutrition, psychosocial research, epidemiology, prevention, socio-economic research, complications, new treatments, technologies and therapy.
