摘要

导言:糖尿病是卡塔尔的主要公共卫生问题。本研究调查了卡塔尔糖尿病患者的糖尿病知识和对现有糖尿病控制服务的看法:方法:2015 年 2 月至 5 月期间,在卡塔尔哈马德医疗公司的医疗机构中使用半结构式问卷,通过面对面访谈收集了 300 名糖尿病患者的数据。调查回答以频率表示,并使用卡方检验比较不同性别的比例。结果显示,31%的患者患有1型糖尿病:31%的患者患有1型糖尿病(T1D)(女性36.6%,男性26.5%),54%的患者患有2型糖尿病(T2D)(男性56.6%,女性50%)。不同性别对糖尿病类型的了解程度没有差异(P=0.16)。32.3%的患者接受了糖尿病相关并发症的治疗,包括:高胆固醇(39.2%)、视力问题(33.1%)、高血压(30.0%)和足部问题(25.1%)。大多数患者是在初级保健诊所确诊的(41.7%)。在就诊期间,78.3% 的患者表示已获得有关各种糖尿病检测的全面建议。57.0% 的患者在过去 12 个月中≥4 次接受糖尿病检查。66.7%的患者表示,由于在过去一年中接受了医疗服务,他们对控制自己的糖尿病有信心或非常有信心。大多数患者表示接受过医生提供的糖尿病相关指导(89.7%):研究参与者对糖尿病、其并发症和风险因素以及糖尿病患者可获得的服务的了解程度参差不齐。建议对患者和家属进行更全面的糖尿病教育,提高他们对糖尿病的认识。在医疗服务提供者层面,进一步改善对患者的咨询和宣传可提供的服务将大有裨益。

Knowledge and Perception of Diabetes and Available Services among Diabetic Patients in the State of Qatar.

Knowledge and Perception of Diabetes and Available Services among Diabetic Patients in the State of Qatar.

Introduction: Diabetes is a major public health concern in Qatar. This study examined diabetes knowledge and perception of available services for diabetes control among diabetic patients in Qatar.

Methods: Data from 300 diabetic patients were collected through face-to-face interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire between February and May 2015 at Hamad Medical Corporation healthcare facilities in Qatar. Survey responses were represented as frequencies, and Chi-square tests were used to compare proportions across gender. A p-value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: 31% of patients had Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) (females 36.6%, males 26.5%) and 54% had Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) (males 56.6%, females 50%). Knowledge about diabetes types did not differ by sex (P=0.16). 32.3% of patients were treated for diabetes-related complications including: high cholesterol (39.2%), vision problems (33.1%), hypertension (30.0%), and foot problems (25.1 %). Most patients were diagnosed at primary care clinics (41.7%). During visits, 78.3% of patients reported that they were fully advised about different diabetes tests. 57.0% of patients had ≥4 visits for diabetes checkups in the past 12 months. 66.7% of patients reported that they were confident or very confident in managing their diabetes as a result of their healthcare visits in the past year. The majority of patients reported receiving diabetes-related guidance from physicians (89.7%).

Conclusions: Study participants had variable knowledge of diabetes, its complications and risk factors, and services available to diabetics. More comprehensive education and awareness about diabetes is recommended for both patients and family members. At the provider level, further improvement in patient counseling and promotion of available services can be beneficial.
