“…A higher proportion of patients who were on oral hypoglycemic agents had inadequate diabetes-related self-care activities. The result is similar to the study conducted in Ethiopia that also found treatment modality as a significant predictor of self-care [30]. Also, our study revealed delayed wound healing in patients with inadequate diabetes-related self-care activities in comparison to the other group.…”

“…This was consistent with studies conducted in the Oromia region, Adama (49.1%) (18), and southwest of Ethiopia (49.2%) (13). However, it was higher compared to other studies conducted in Bahir Dar, northwest of Ethiopia, which was only 28.4% (9) and Harar 39% (19). But, the nding of this study was lower than a study from in Nekemte, western Ethiopia 60.7% (8), This difference could be due to variation in cultural, and socio-economic aspects of the society as Ethiopia is a diverse country (20).…”

“…This study found that those with no formal education were more likely to adhere to diabetes self-care practice. On the contrary, other studies found that the higher the educational status it is likely to have good self-care practice (9,13,19). This might be justi ed regardless of their educational status patient might adhere to self-care practices based on the information they receive from health care providers or the media.…”

“…Even though adherence to diabetes self-care practice has shown a remarkable reduction in the incidence and progression of DM complications (7), there is a poor habit of self-care practice reported in different parts of Ethiopia (8)(9)(10). From previous studies, factors like duration of diabetes (early ages), living in a rural areas, male gender, lack of family support, having comorbidities, poor knowledge about diabetes, lack of selfmonitoring glucometer, were found to affect the diabetes self-care practices (8,9,11,12).…”

Background: The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes is increasing steadily at an alarming rate and Ethiopia is placed fourth among the top five countries of the Africa region according to the International diabetes federation. Regardless of its burden, the self-care behaviors are still unknown. This study is aimed to determine the level of diabetes self-care practice and factors associated with among Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in public hospitals of Tigray region.Methods: Institution-based, cross-sectional study was conducted in six selected hospitals of Tigray region from January to February, 2020. Data was collected by trained nurses with a face to face interview method using Summary Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA). Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with self-care practices. Statistical significance was declared at P-value < 0.05.Results: A total of 570 patients with type 2 diabetes were included in this study. The mean age of the participant was 46 ± 14.6 years. Less than half (46.7%) of the participants has good diabetes self-care practices. Urban residency (AOR=2.79, 95% CI 1.858-4.205), age group above 64 years (AOR=2.384, 95% CI 1.258-4.518), not having formal education (AOR=2.616, 95% CI 1.337-4.518), having family or social support (AOR=1.878, 95% CI 1.243-2.837), duration DM above 10 years (AOR=2.325, 95% CI 1.224-4.418), having personal glucometer at home (AOR=5.9, 95% CI 2.790-12.764) were determinant factors of good diabetes self-care practice. Conclusion: the diabetes self-care practices in the region was found to be low. Health care providers might have to consider actions to act on the identified factors and improve self-care practices of the patients. Especially, focusing on caring and giving follow up services to younger adults and DM patients coming from a rural areas.

“…Referring to the response rate, the lowest and the highest response rates were 95% and 100% consecutively. Furthermore, the prevalence of diabetics self-care practice falls between 28.4% and 76.8% from a study conducted in Amhara (27) and SNNPs(10) regions, respectively. All the studies incorporated were simple and analytical cross-section by design (Table 1).…”

Background: Appropriate diabetic self-care is indispensable to prevent and limit diabetic associated short and long term complications including death. Therefore, this comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis were aimed at exploring and determining the pooled national percentage of diabetic self-care and its determinants among adult diabetic patients in Ethiopian.Methods: Different electronic databases including PubMed/Medline and search engines such as Google scholar were used to retrieve published studies. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) quality appraisal checklists were used to appraise the quality of studies. Data were extracted using excel spreadsheets and analyses were done by STATA 14. Heterogeneity among studies was diagnosed using the I2. The DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model was employed for substantial heterogeneity (I2>50%).Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were carried out. The funnel plot and Egger's regression test was used to identify publication bias. Moreover, the nonparametric trim and fill analysis was done for findings with significant Egger's test (p<0.05) and asymmetric distribution of studies in the funnel plot. The pooled estimate of diabetic self-care and odds ratio was reported based on the 95% CI.Results: Well over half of the Ethiopian diabetic patients have good self-care 54.04% (47.07-61.01, I2 =97.3, P<0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that the highest and the lowest pooled estimate of selfcare was detected in Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples and Hareri region with 81.96% and 44.53% respectively. Being knowledgeable about diabetes mellitus 2.69%, having good social support 2.25%, owning private glucometer 3.04%, and being urban residents 3.26% have promoted diabetic victims to apply self-care practice.Conclusions: Despite the life-threatening complications of diabetes mellitus, the percentage of patients applying self-care has remained low in Ethiopia, depicting the high proportion of diabetic patients are prone to develop long and short term life-threatening consequences of diabetes mellitus. Therefore, improving the client's awareness about the disease and counseling clients about the significance of social support are believed to be possible strategies to improve self-care practice and policymakers are strongly recommended to combat diabetic associated complications to attain sustainable development goal 3.4 aims to reduce premature death.
