“…9,10 In addition to knowledge, perception of illness by patients also significantly influence diabetes self-care, as shown by Kugbey et al in Ghana. 11 Veerakumar et al in Trichy area of Tamil Nadu found no significant association between self-care practices and gender, occupation and family history of diabetes which is similar to findings of present study. 12 On contrary better practices among males were reported in Gujarat.…”

Background: The prevalence of diabetes worldwide is expected to rise to 9.9% by 2045 and with this rising prevalence raises the need for good self-care practices by patients themselves, which play a key role in effective management and prevention of complications.Methods: Present community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 168 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients by interviewing them using a structured questionnaire assessing their self-care practices using summary of diabetes self-care activities (SDSCA) scale. Different domains were diet, exercise, blood glucose monitoring, medication compliance, foot care and smoking and responses were graded according to number of days in previous week a particular self-care activity of a domain was followed. Data analysis was done with help of SPSS version 21.Results: Mean age of diabetic patients in this study subjects was 54.37±13.24 years. 43.45% respondents have poor self-care practice scores. Bivariate analysis showed that self-care practices were significantly poorer among the diabetic patients less than 60 years of age, residing in rural area, either illiterate or studied till primary/intermediate, had diabetes for less than a year and were taking treatment from public health facilities. Poor self-care practices were insignificantly related with gender, marital status, occupation, monthly family income, type of family, food habits, hypertension as comorbidity, family history, BMI and mode of diagnosis. Multivariate analysis indicates that age, education and duration of diabetes are significant predictors for self-care practices.Conclusions: Self-care practices among diabetic patients were poor among 43.45% patients and there is a need for improving them across all assessed domains.

“…Thus, illness perception was positively associated with overall SM and its dimensions, which echoes the findings of Chew et al () and Figueiras and Alves () that patients with threatening illness perception had better SM behaviour. However, this finding contradicts that of a study on T2DM (Kugbey et al, ) that persons who perceived their diabetes as more life‐threatening tended to participate in fewer self‐care practices. This may be because persons who perceive their condition as fatal are less likely to perceive DSM as important.…”

“…Diabetes knowledge has been identified as a determining factor of concordance to DSM behaviours (Kugbey, Oppong Asante, & Adulai, 2017) and has been associated with optimal blood sugar level (Jasper et al, 2014). WHO (2016) reiterated that in order to maintain optimal blood sugar level and delay diabetic complications, adequate diabetes knowledge is an important prerequisite for better SM behaviour and positive health outcomes.…”

Aims and objectives This study aims to explore the current state of self‐management behaviours among persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Solomon Islands and to discuss the factors influencing these behaviours. Background The prevalence of diabetes and diabetes complications is increasing in the Solomon Islands. However, the effective diabetes prevention and care are not provided in the country. Design This is a cross‐sectional study. Methods A convenience sample of 150 persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus was recruited from a hospital in the Solomon Islands from August 2017–September 2017. Self‐report questionnaires were used to measure the self‐management behaviours, diabetes knowledge and illness perception. In addition, the study adhered to the EQUATOR checklist, STROBE (see Appendix S1). Results The overall score for self‐management was 56.9 ± 13.2 and diabetes knowledge and illness perception, as influencing factors of self‐management, earned total scores of 13.3 ± 4.0 and 55.8 ± 12.0, respectively. Stepwise regression analysis identified illness perception, diabetes knowledge and smoking as significant influencing factors, explaining 20.8% of the total variance in self‐management. Conclusions The level of diabetes self‐management behaviours demonstrated by persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus in this study was rated as less than ideal. Diabetes knowledge and illness perception were the two main factors influencing patient self‐management in the Solomon Islands. Relevance to clinical practice The study addressed the current state of the self‐management behaviours of persons with diabetes and discussed the factors influencing these behaviours. The findings indicated that knowledge and illness perception of diabetes were the two main factors and provided baseline information for policymakers, health planners and healthcare providers highlighting diabetes as an important issue in Solomon Islands.

“…Modifiable targets of psychological intervention are presented across the following three overarching domains: (1) knowledge, beliefs, and related cognitive constructs; (2) emotional distress and wellbeing; and (3) behavioral skills and coping. Knowledge, beliefs, and related cognitive constructs regarding their illness and treatment are predictive of long-term medication adherence [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

Background: Patients’ perception of diabetes mellitus is one of the psychosocial factors influencing diabetic behavior. This patients’ perception of the disease is a mental image formed from the experience of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and reportedly reflects the aspect of recuperation. We investigated the relationship between changes in the patients’ perception of the disease and medication adherence, as influenced by the active involvement of community pharmacists. Methods: A prospective cohort study that used patient registry based in community pharmacies was conducted in patients with type 2 diabetes using oral antidiabetic agents at a pharmacy in Ishikawa Prefecture in Japan. Patients responded to the questionnaire at the time of enrollment and at the end of the one-year intervention period. The pharmacist confirmed the patient's medication status and treatment problems via telephone calls at least once every two weeks for one year. Main outcome measures: Type 2 diabetes patients’ perception of the disease related to medication adherence. Results: The study enrolled 113 patients. Among the seven diabetes image factors, “Living an orderly life” and “Feeling of fear” were significantly associated with medication adherence. “Feeling of neglect of health” was significantly associated at the subscale level. Conclusion: All the three factors related to medication adherence indicated self-care ability. To enhance the self-care ability of the patient, pharmacists should assist in self-care interventions for the patients.
