Knowledge assessment of self-care activities of diabetes mellitus in a tertiary care hospital
Background
Diabetes self-care has been described as an evolutionary, sustainable process of knowledge development in chronic medical conditions. It has been discovered that there is a positive correlation between glycemic control and improvement in quality of life.
Objective
This study aims to evaluate the knowledge of self-care activities in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) and the effect of pharmacist-led intervention in glycemic control using Diabetes Self-Care Management Questionnaire-Revised (DSMQ-R).
Methods
The interventional study was conducted among diabetics in a tertiary care hospital for over 6 months. Baseline and follow-up data were analysed using t-tests and linear regression to assess changes in knowledge and their relationship with fasting blood sugar (FBS).
Results
This study recruited 179 participants, predominantly in the 56–65 age group and mostly male (53%). Importantly 85% with prior T2DM diagnoses, addressing a specific population. The study successfully investigated the link between self-care knowledge and blood sugar control in T2DM patients. While the initial correlation between questionnaire data and fasting blood sugar was moderate (r = 0.027, p = 0.358), a meaningful 30.46% improvement in participants’ knowledge was observed (p < 0.05). Notably, half achieved good glycemic control, highlighting the positive impact of education on self-care practices. This confirms the potential of such interventions to empower individuals with T2DM management tools.
Conclusion
By demonstrating a significant improvement in knowledge and observing good glycemic control in a substantial portion of participants, the study highlights its potential to empower individuals with T2DM.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries is the official journal of Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India. This is a peer reviewed journal and targets a readership consisting of clinicians, research workers, paramedical personnel, nutritionists and health care personnel working in the field of diabetes. Original research articles focusing on clinical and patient care issues including newer therapies and technologies as well as basic science issues in this field are considered for publication in the journal. Systematic reviews of interest to the above group of readers are also accepted.
