Author(s) Qi Ying, Engracia S. Arceo
Country Philippines
Abstract Worldwide, diabetes is a silent epidemic that claims 4.2 million lives worldwide each year. Experts predict that by 2045, one in 10 people will be affected by the disease. In China, with the change of lifestyle in recent years, the number of obese and overweight people is increasing, and the incidence of diabetes is also rising year by year, which makes the health education of diabetic patients particularly important. The purpose of this study was to assess self-care behavior and its influencing factors. This study is an analytical cross-sectional study. Data will be collected through questionnaires. Participants will be divided into two groups based on the questionnaire results: high adherence and low adherence. In this group of questionnaires, the Chinese version of the Diabetes Self-care Questionnaire (DSMQ) (r>0.60, Cronbach’s alpha=0.764) will be used, and another questionnaire which will determine the influencing factors will be designed by the author . The convenience sampling method will be used to select the survey objects. The minimum sample size for this study will be 384. Of the 377 participants,171 (45.36%) were female and 296 (54.64%) were male. The mean HbA1C was 8.807%±3.975%. The average BMI was 22.198±2.940kg. The self-care behavior score of the subjects was 4.368±2.388, which was in the sub-optimal nursing level.
