“…Second, older people in Malaysia often stay with their families and thus could have received support in medication intake from family members or caretakers. Similar findings were observed in the first study of this portfolio and previous literature [67][68][69].…”

“…The lack of change in the SMBG practices in the control group mirrored results from the first study of this portfolio [67]. As explained earlier, Malaysian engage in social medicine where the government heavily subsides the cost of medication for patients attending government-run healthcare facilities [74].…”

“…Although previous studies unanimously recognized the importance of SMBG in diabetes management, there were discrepancies between the recommended frequency and timing of SMBG [39,40]. Previous researchers reported less than 25% of Malaysians with diabetes practiced SMBG [41,42]. Hence for the purposes of this study, a minimum of four blood glucose testing in the preceding week was considered as adequate SMBG self-care practice.…”

Majority of research reports identified moderate reduction in glycated haemoglobin with education interventions regardless of age group. Our study objective was to evaluate the pharmacist interventions in providing patient home care. A 24-week longitudinal quasi-experimental-pretest/post-test study design was used to assess the effectiveness of a diabetes education program to enhance self-care practices. A doubleblinded randomized study design was considered but was not feasible as the investigator was responsible for implementing the intervention and collecting data on outcomes. Since this was a longitudinal study a 25% attrition rate was included in the calculation of sample size. Hence the sample size for the proposed study was 106 subjects with 53 subjects in each group. All analyses were done using SPSS version 18 ® . The level of significance was set at 0.05. The Research Ethics Committee of hospital and the Malaysian Medical Research and Ethics Committee approved the study. Of the 109 subject who met the study-entry criteria, 3 subjects declined to participate due to lack of time and interest. There was no significant relationship between the demographic and clinical characteristic of participants who completed the study. No significant relationship between the intervention and control groups who completed the study in demographic, clinical and psychosocial contexts. Of the 47 subjects from the intervention group who reported adherent to their daily medication intake after the education intervention, 51 subjects (31.9%) reported taking their medication at the wrong time. The recommended times for oral anti-hyperglycemic medication (OAM) are: sulphonylureas 30 minutes before food, acarbose with food, metformin with or within 30 minutes after food. This research has shown a brief structured education program that incorporated behavior science specifically selfefficacy was effective in enhancing self-care practices (SMBG and medication adherence) and improving glycaemic control in the intervention group.

“…On the contrary, non compliance with dietary management was seen in old and low level educated subjects. Tan and Magarey (2008) (20) reported that poor diet control was found among older subjects with low level of education. Only 8.7% were unable to comply with prescribed medicine, while in another Egyptian study adherence to prescribed medicine was 78.3% (21).…”

SUMMARYBackground: Diabetes is a serious public health problem that threatens the quality of life of patiens with diabetes, the success of long-term maintenance therapy for diabetes depends largely on the patients' compliance with a therapeutic plan.Aim of this study: to assess compliance of diabetic patients to diabetes self-Management in rural El Minia, and to determine the associated factors related to it.Subjects and Method: Cross sectional analytic study. Rural adults identified as having previously diagnosed diabetes were recruited to participate in this study. A total of 206 rural community diabetics were randomly chosen and subjected to interview questionnaire on history of diabetes, type of medication, self-management of diabetes as glucose examination, dietary modification, and eye examination.Results: Mean age of participants was 54±6.3 years and mean duration of diabetes was 12±8 years. Nearly one third of the patients used insulin and more than half used oral hypoglycemic. The results of this study revealed that good adherence to diabetes self-management was reported among 41.7% of adult diabetic patients who show good adherence to diet instructions, but only 21.4% to blood glucose test. There was no gender difference regarding self care of diabetes. Younger age group had more glycemic control than older age; longer duration of diabetes was significantly associated with poor glycemic control.Conclusion: Compliance to self-management of diabetes is suboptimal among rural adult community diabetic.

Background: Diabetes self-care behaviour adherence is considered to be the cornerstone in diabetes care. Hence, the success of long-term maintenance therapy for diabetes depends largely on the patients' adherence with self-care behaviour. and data were collected by using interviewer administered questionnaires. The data were entered into EPI-DATA version 3.1, and analysed by Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0. Descriptive statistics were used for most variables; a bivariate analysis was employed to determine the presence of association between adherence to self-care behaviour with other variables at P-value less than 0.05. Multi-variable logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors of glycaemic control and self-care behaviour adherence. Results:One hundred ninty four type 2 diabetics were participated in this study and 99 (51.0%) were Females. Mean age of participants was 50.3(±13.2) years, and 41.2% had good self-care behaviour adherence. Above one half (57.2%) had diabetes duration less than five years, with mean duration of diabetes 5.02 ± 3.8 years. Conclusion:In our study area adherence to self-care behaviour of the study subjects were low. So strategies that can improve these discrepancies like provision of diabetes self-care education and counselling especially on importance of self-monitoring of blood glucose, physical activity and problem solving should be considered by responsible bodies.
