“…Raised blood pressure is thought to be responsible for 7.5 million deaths and 57 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). On the other hand, the global prevalence of diabetes was 8.3 percent in 2013 (i.e., 382 million individuals) and is expected to rise to 592 million by 2035 [3]. The World Health Organization (WHO) member nations adopted the Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases in 2011, to halt the rise of diabetes by 2025 and reduce hypertension prevalence by 25% between 2010 and 2025 [4].…”

The study aimed to investigate health-related knowledge, attitude, practice (HR-KAP), and quality of life (HRQoL) among diabetes and hypertensive patients at Damak municipal hospital, Province 1, Nepal. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the medicine outpatient department of Damak Municipal Hospital from April-September 2022. The participants' HR-KAP was assessed using a 23-item self-administered questionnaire, and their HRQOL was determined using the EuroQoL-5 dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire. Independent sample test and chi-square test were used to measure the association between patients characteristics and outcome variables. P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. A total of 105 patients with a mean age of 49.40 (±11.11 SD) years participated in the study. Although 49.5% of the patients demonstrated good disease knowledge, their attitudes and practices toward the diseases were found to be poor, accounting for 30% and 19%, respectively. The KAP score was significantly associated with the patients age group, gender, and patient education status (p<0.05). The majority of patients reported mild or moderate problems in morbidity, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression with the average EQ-5D-5L index value and EQ-VAS scores of 0.78 (±0.09 SD) and 58.43 (±10.882 SD) respectively. The HRQoL was comparatively lower among age groups over 65 years, female gender, and illiterate patients (p<0.05). The study concludes that patients' HR-KAP toward their disease was inadequate and had diminished HRQoL. There is an urgent need for health educational and interventional programs particularly focusing on chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension to people in this area.This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-Share Alike 4.0 License, which allows others to remix, tweak, and build upon the work non commercially, as long as the author is credited and the new creations are licensed under the identical terms.

“…Management of DM involves the use of appropriate medications, maintaining a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, maintaining normal body weight, avoiding the use of tobacco, control of blood pressure, and maintaining proper foot care (2). Although there appears to be good knowledge and awareness of patients regarding the complications of diabetes, many patients living with diabetes have very poor knowledge of the different components of non-pharmacological management of diabetes (8). Lifestyle modification is an essential component of the self-management of type 2 diabetes.…”

Objective: Lifestyle modification is an essential component of self-management of diabetes mellitus. This study assessed adherence to diet and exercise recommendations and elucidated the factors that influence adherence in patients living with diabetes. Method: A cross-sectional study involving 300 patients attending diabetes clinics in some selected hospitals in Ogun State, Nigeria. Structured questionnaires were used to obtain information on the socio-demographic characteristics, and PRECEDE factors of lifestyle-modification adherence in the study participants. Pearson’s correlation and Chi-square test were used to assess the association between the variables, while binary logistic regression was used to determine the predictors of adherence to dietary recommendations. Results: The mean age of the study respondents was 62.7 years. The proportion of respondents who adhered to dietary and exercise recommendations were 87.8% and 45.6% respectively. There were no statistically significant linear relationships between scores for each PRECEDE factor and scores for adherence to diet and exercise. Respondents’ age, body mass index, and duration of illness had a statistically significant association with adherence to diet (P< 0.001, P=0.021, and P=0.041 respectively). On logistic regression analysis, participants 60 years and older had a higher likelihood of adhering to dietary modification than younger participants [AOR=2.6, P < 0.001]. Conclusion: The adherence of patients living with diabetes to dietary recommendations was satisfactory while adherence to exercise recommendations was very poor. There is a need for health care workers, especially at the primary and secondary levels to implement strategies that will enhance reinforcing and enabling factors for exercise adherence.
