Abstract

Objective

To evaluate the association between the type of information source and the level of knowledge about diabetes mellitus in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methodology

A cross-sectional study was conducted at a reference diabetes and hypertension center in Lima, Peru, during 2014. Level of knowledge was measured using the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire-24 and 12 information sources. Patients with 75% correct answers were considered to have a good knowledge. Adjusted odds ratios were calculated.

Results

Of the total 464 patients enrolled, 52.2% were females, and 20.3% used the Internet as information source. Mean knowledge was 12.9 ± 4.8, and only 17.0% had a good knowledge, which was associated with information on diabetes obtained from the Internet (OR = 2.03, 95% CI 1.32–3.14), and also from other patients (OR = 1.99, 95% CI 1.20–3.31). Good knowledge was also associated with postgraduate education (OR = 3.66, 95% CI 1.21–11.09), disease duration longer than 12 years (OR = 1.91, 95% CI 1.22–3.01), and age older than 70 years (OR = 0.39, 95% CI 0.21–0.72).

Conclusion

Search for information in the Internet was positively associated to a good level of knowledge. It is suggested to teach patients with diabetes to seek information on the Internet and, on the other hand, to develop virtual spaces for interaction of patients with diabetes.

信息来源与2型糖尿病患者糖尿病知识水平的相关性
目的探讨2型糖尿病患者信息来源类型与糖尿病知识水平的关系。方法2014年,在秘鲁利马的一个参考糖尿病和高血压中心进行了一项横断面研究。使用糖尿病知识问卷-24和12个信息来源测量知识水平。75%正确答案的患者被认为有很好的知识。计算调整后的比值比。结果在464名入选患者中,52.2%为女性,20.3%使用互联网作为信息来源。平均知识为12.9±4.8,只有17.0%的人有良好的知识,这与从互联网上获得的糖尿病信息有关(OR=2.03,95%CI 1.32–3.14),也与从其他患者那里获得的糖尿病相关(OR=1.99,95%CI 1.20–3.31)。良好的知识也与研究生教育有关(OR=3.66,95%CI 1.21–11.09),疾病持续时间超过12年(OR=1.91,95%CI 1.22–3.01),年龄超过70岁(OR=0.39,95%CI 0.21–0.72)。结论在互联网上搜索信息与良好的知识水平呈正相关。建议教糖尿病患者在互联网上寻找信息,另一方面,开发糖尿病患者互动的虚拟空间。
