摘要

这项研究探讨了在阿拉伯联合酋长国沙迦医疗中心就诊的患者对糖尿病、糖尿病预防和管理以及健康促进的知识和态度。41名患者参加了深度访谈。讨论并报告了共同的主题。对糖尿病病因的理解各不相同,包括遗传、压力和生活方式。大多数参与者将糖尿病与饮食、缺乏体育锻炼和肥胖等生活方式因素联系起来。这些问题又与环境方面以及文化框架有具体的联系。文化和环境因素可能阻碍行为改变的实施。随着对这些限制的理解,开发创造性策略的必要性变得明显。在这独特的文化背景下,提出了加强糖尿病教育、预防和健康促进的建议。

Diabetes knowledge and attitudes towards prevention and health promotion: qualitative study in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
This study explored the knowledge of and attitudes towards diabetes, diabetes prevention and management, and health promotion of patients attending medical centres in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. Forty-one patients participated in an in depth interview. Common themes were drawn upon and reported. The understanding of the causation of diabetes varied, including genetics, stress and lifestyle. Most participants linked diabetes to lifestyle factors such as diet, lack of physical activity and obesity. These were, in turn, specifically linked to environmental aspects as well as the cultural framework. Cultural and contextual factors may hinder the implementation of behaviour change. With the understanding of these constraints, the necessity of developing creative strategies becomes evident. Suggestions are provided to enhance diabetes education, prevention and health promotion building upon the strengths within this unique cultural context.
