Abstract

Aims/hypothesis: Diabetes mellitus is a significant global health concern that is projected to affect 7.7% of the global population by 2030. Understanding factors that influence diabetes knowledge and management adherence is crucial for effective diabetes mellitus management and prevention. This study investigates the relationships between demographic and clinical factors and their impact on diabetes knowledge and behaviour, as well as the potential influence of diabetes knowledge on management behaviours.

Methods: The study comprised a cross-sectional survey of 1050 adults, collecting data on age, sex, marital status, education, employment, hypertension, dyslipidaemia (any lipid imbalance, such as high cholesterol, high LDL-cholesterol or low HDL-cholesterol), smoking and diabetes status. Two multiple linear regression models were used to identify factors associated with diabetes knowledge and behaviour, and a simple linear regression model was used to assess the relationship between knowledge and behaviour.

Results: Significant associations were found between diabetes knowledge and the following factors: age (44.32 ± 9.53 for ≥50 years vs 39.73 ± 9.95 for 18 to <25 years; p<0.0001), sex (49.00 ± 12.35 for women vs 45.09 ± 13.27 for men; p<0.0001), marital status (50.92 ± 11.69 for married vs 45.39 ± 13.10 for single; p<0.0001), smoking status (45.78 ± 13.22 for smokers vs 48.22 ± 12.15 for non-smokers; p=0.003), hypertension (46.46 ± 13.11 for present vs 47.31 ± 12.87 for absent; p=0.007) and diabetes status (69.49 ± 17.35 for present vs 62.76 ± 16.88 for absent; p<0.001). Behaviour scores correlated similarly with these factors except for diabetes and smoking status. The adjusted simple linear regression model revealed that diabetes knowledge was significantly associated with better management behaviours (coefficient=0.0794, p<0.001) after adjusting for demographic and clinical factors.

Conclusions/interpretation: This study highlights the importance of demographic and clinical factors in the context of diabetes knowledge and behaviours, underscoring the need for targeted educational and preventive programmes to improve diabetes management, especially in vulnerable populations. Additionally, the strong association between diabetes knowledge and management behaviours supports a knowledge-attitude-behaviour (KAB) model of diabetes management.

糖尿病知识与行为:对约旦成年人的横断面研究。
目的/假设:糖尿病是一个重大的全球健康问题,预计到 2030 年将影响全球 7.7% 的人口。了解影响糖尿病知识和管理依从性的因素对于有效管理和预防糖尿病至关重要。本研究调查了人口和临床因素之间的关系及其对糖尿病知识和行为的影响,以及糖尿病知识对管理行为的潜在影响:研究对 1050 名成年人进行了横断面调查,收集了有关年龄、性别、婚姻状况、教育程度、就业、高血压、血脂异常(任何血脂失衡,如高胆固醇、高低密度脂蛋白胆固醇或低高密度脂蛋白胆固醇)、吸烟和糖尿病状况的数据。研究人员使用两个多元线性回归模型来确定与糖尿病知识和行为相关的因素,并使用简单线性回归模型来评估知识和行为之间的关系:结果:糖尿病知识与以下因素之间存在显著关联:年龄(≥50 岁为 44.32 ± 9.53,18 至 50 岁为 39.73 ± 9.95 结论/解释:本研究强调了人口统计学和临床因素在糖尿病知识和行为方面的重要性,突出表明有必要开展有针对性的教育和预防计划,以改善糖尿病管理,尤其是在弱势群体中。此外,糖尿病知识与管理行为之间的密切联系支持糖尿病管理的知识-态度-行为(KAB)模式。
