“…In addition, the necessity of educating patients has been confirmed by the study of Caliskan et al (30) but this cannot be implemented because of the lack of time and low number of nurses; these results were consistent with the findings of our study. In the present study, not following the patient' treatment at home by a nurse with mean score of 3.61 was an important barrier, and it was the third barrier related to health-medical systems.…”

Background: Today, diabetes has become a major challenge for health systems around the globe. It is important to determine patients, families and nurses' viewpoints and consider their views for controlling diabetes. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the obstacles related to medical-health systems from the viewpoints of patients, families and nurses in the diabetes association of Ahvaz city, Iran, during year 2012 in order to effectively control diabetes. Patients and Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 75 patients with diabetes and 75 family members of these patients and 75 nurses were randomly selected. The applied tool for data gathering was a questionnaire provided by the researchers and consisted of two parts; the first part of the questions was related to demographic characteristics and the second part was related to obstacles for controlling diabetes. The SPSS (19th version) software and deductive and descriptive statistics were applied for analyzing the data. Results:The results of this research showed that there was a significant difference among mean scores of obstacles related to medical-health systems from the viewpoint of patients, families and nurses (P = 0.001), so that patients gave a maximum mean score (52.81) and nurses gave a minimum mean score (46.61) for these obstacles. Conclusions: Regarding the results, it could be suggested that the reason for not being able to control diabetes was the existence of differences among viewpoints while by getting to know the obstacles for controlling diabetes from the viewpoints of the three studied groups, more effective planning for controlling diabetes could be possible.

“…Nuestros resultados concuerdan con lo publicado por González-Pedraza y cols., quienes no encontraron asociación entre el control metabólico de los pacientes y su nivel de conocimientos 12 . Esto es concordante con información previa que estableció que el nivel de conocimientos del paciente sobre la diabetes es bajo 12,29 . No obstante, en un estudio más reciente se ha documentado que el control glicémico se logra cuando el nivel de conocimientos de los pacientes sobre diabetes es alto 30 .…”

“…Pensando nisso, realizou-se um estudo para investigar o conhecimento sobre DM e seus fatores associados em uma população de diabéticos da Turquia. Apenas 28,7% dos pacientes tinham sido informados sobre o DM (14) . Na nossa população, a porcentagem correspondente foi de 39%.…”

“…Apesar de já existirem evidências de que a educação de pacientes diabéticos e seus parentes constitui um ponto fundamental tanto para encorajar rastreamentos mais regulares para RD quanto na prevenção e tratamento da RD (14,(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) , a maioria dos pacientes na nossa amostra relata que nunca havia recebido alguma informação ou palestra sobre diabetes de algum profissional de saúde, bem como não haviam recebido algum tipo de material informativo sobre DM. Uma grande parte da nossa amostra também nunca havia participado de programas de educação sobre DM.…”

INTRODUÇÃOO diabetes mellitus (DM) é uma doença crônica e multissistêmica de importância crescente em saúde pública. Sua incidência e prevalência vêm aumentando, alcançando proporções epidêmicas (1) . Acredita-se que o número de portadores de DM no mundo, estimado em aproximadamente 180 milhões em 2000, mais que dobrará até o ano de 2030 (2) . No Brasil, estima-se que 7,6% ABSTRACTPurpose: To assess the epidemiologic profile and level of knowledge of diabetic patients about diabetes and diabetic retinopathy (DR).Methods: Cross-sectional study with patients seen at Retina and Vitreous sector of Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual de São Paulo. The subjetcs were assigned into two groups: diabetic patients sent for first ophthalmologic evaluation (G1) and patient already followed in the sector (G2). The patients answered a questionnaire and were submitted to ophthalmologic examination. It had been used chi-square (x²), exact of Fisher and non-parametric of MannWhitney tests, with level of significance of 5%.Results: The total sample was composed for 357 patients (109 in G1 and 248 in G2). The majority of the patients were female, married, with incomplete basic education, age average of 63.3 years and affirmed to know what it is diabetes. However, 53.2% did not know their type of diabetes. The visual complications of diabetes are most known. Less of one third of the patients had heard of DR and 77.3% did not know if they had it. The majority of the patients had never received any explanation or lecture about diabetes or DR. Only 3.6% of the patients had participated of programs of education on diabetes. The visual acuity, in logMAR scale, was of 0.57 in OD and 0.51 in the OS. Half of the patients did not have DR. Conclusion:The majority of the patients have low knowledge about diabetes and its complications.Keywords: Diabetes mellitus; Diabetic retinopathy; Health profile; Health knowledge, attitudes, practice; Epidemiology da população urbana entre 30 e 69 anos apresentem DM, sendo que 46% destes não sabem ser portadores (3) . Vários órgãos podem ser acometidos pelo DM, sendo comum a presença de nefropatia, neuropatia e retinopatia (4) . As afecções oculares são frequentes e graves no paciente diabé-tico, sendo a retinopatia diabética (RD) a mais comum, presente em 29 a 40% dos casos (5) . É considerada a principal causa de cegueira legal em adultos em idade produtiva (6) . Estima-se que o número de pessoas com risco de sofrer perda de visão decorrente do diabetes dobre nos próximos 30 anos (7) . A RD é uma das maiores causas de cegueira irreversível no mundo, e a principal entre pessoas em idade produtiva (8) , sendo considerada uma das complicações mais temidas pelos pacientes diabéticos. Estima-se que, após 15 anos de doença, 80% dos portadores de DM tipo 2 e 97% dos DM tipo 1 apresentem algum grau de retinopatia (9)(10) . A eficácia do tratamento para DM com controle adequado de complicações a curto e longo prazo não depende apenas da intervenção médica. O conhecimento, assim como as crenças do paciente sobr...
