“…A study in Kuwait by Al-Khaledi 11 reported that diabetes self-management (DSM), gender, and diabetes complications were significant independent correlates to health-related quality of life. Another study conducted in King Saud Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 12 revealed positive associations between medication adherence and diabetes knowledge; self-management behaviors (glucose management and healthcare use) and diabetes knowledge; self-management behaviors (dietary control) and fasting blood glucose levels; and age and blood glucose levels (both fasting and HbA1c).…”

To investigate the frequency and factors associated with inadequate self-care behaviors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 355 patients with T2DM, using multistage cluster sampling, attending the Najran University Original Article Hospital and Primary health care centres in Najran, Saudi Arabia, from January to May 2019. The assessment of self-care behaviors was conducted using the 16-item diabetes self-management questionnaire (DSMQ). Results: The majority (85.1%) of the patients with T2DM were uncontrolled, 42% were obese, and 5.9% were morbidly obese. Based on DSMQ criteria, the majority of patients (90.1%) had poor self-care behaviors. The mean sum of DSMQ was 5.04 out of 10. Among the DSMQ subscales, health care use had the highest mean score of 5.63, followed by glucose management with a score of 5.12, while dietary control had lower mean scores of 4.96 and physical activity had 4.46, all were inadequate. Being married (OR=2.178, p=0.035) and having DM for more than 5 years (OR=2.711, p<0.006) were the significant independent factors associated with poor self-care behavior. Conclusion: Inadequate self-care behavior is widely prevalent in Najran city, Saudi Arabia. All the DSMQ subscales were poorly managed by most of the diabetic patients. Furthermore, being married and having a longer DM duration are the significant independent factors associated with poor self-care behaviors.

“…Up to the researcher knowledge, there are no studies conducted in the western area of Saudi Arabia including Makkah Al-Mukarramah which has its demographic characteristics, cultural habits, and also different education level. Many studies recommended measuring the knowledge level among population since this will help us to interfere and educate the patients if necessary to achieve better glycemic control [8,9,10,11].…”

Backgroundː Diabetes mellitus (DM) has a high prevalence rate in Saudi Arabia. Patients must have sufficient knowledge about DM to improve their self-management skills and prevent complications. This research was conducted to estimate the knowledge level among diabetic patients attending primary care centers about DM and its impact on their health. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of type II diabetic patients in Makkah city. Self-administered validated Arabic questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic data, knowledge about the disease, and the level of control. Results The study included 293 patients, 50.2% were females and 85.3% were Saudis. Mean age was 50 years (ranged 31 -77). Blood glucose was uncontrolled in 90.4% of patients. The overall knowledge regarding DM score mean 8.3±2.5 SD (ranged 3 -16) out of 20 and a median (Interquartile range) of 8 (7-10). Higher educated patients (p=0.043) and those who practiced physical activities (p=0.007) were more knowledgeable than their counterparts. None of the diabetes-related variables was significantly related with participants` information. Score of knowledge was not significantly related with level of glycemic control.

Research design Quasi Experimental control and self-reminder card group pre post prospective with Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney test Analysis. The sample was 115 patients. The results showed that the systolic blood pressure of the patients pre post the intervention group (p = 0.009) and test of both groups (p = 0.009) so that effect the successful in reducing systolic blood pressure of hypertension patients. In the pre post diastolic blood pressure of the intervention group (p = 0.016) and test was conducted for both groups (p = 0.935) so that no effect the successful in reducing diastolic blood pressure in hypertension patients.
