| dc.description.abstract | One of the most important factors in the management of diabetes is the level of self-care of patients. It reduces mortality and morbidity and is an important marker in the course of the disease. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the self-care level of diabetic patients admitted to our hospital and the factors that may affect self-care. Diabetes patients admitted to the Diabetes and Obesity Outpatient Clinic of our hospital were examined in a 4-month period between May 15, 2021 and September 15, 2021. After verbal information, a 71-question questionnaire including sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle, education and treatments, body mass index, waist circumference and Diabetes Self-Care Scale was applied face-to-face to patients who agreed to participate in our study. Measurements were made by the researchers. p<0.05 was accepted as statistical significance. The study included 132 diabetic patients, 83 women and 49 men. The mean score obtained from the Diabetes Self-Care Scale was 96.25±19.61. Factors that interacted with self-care were educational status (p<0.001), income level (p<0.001), receiving education about the disease from the doctor (p=0.007), diet (p=0.003) and exercise (p=0.005) in the treatment, frequency of control (p<0.001), waist circumference (p<0.001) and body mass index (p<0.001). Management of existing patients is as important as prevention of diabetes. Self-care is an important factor in the management of the disease. Every intervention to increase self-care leads to positive results in the management of the disease. | en_US |
