Abstract

ObjectiveThis study
aims to determine health beliefs, attitudes towards illness and metabolic
control of patients with Type 2 diabetes as well as investigating the
relationship between these variables.

Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between July, 2014 and
January 2017. The study sample consisted of 271 patients with Type 2 diabetes
who met the research inclusion criteria. The Information Form, Metabolic Control
Results, Health Belief Model Scale, and Diabetes Attitude Scale were used for
data collection.

Results: It was found
that patients with diabetes had positive health beliefs in the perceived
severity, perceived benefits, health-related activities sub-scales and positive
total health beliefs (Score >4). Patients were found to have the highest
mean score in the diabetic severity sub-scale (3.07 ± 0.70), and the lowest
mean score in the need for special education sub-scale (1.41±0.22). Patients
were found to have a positive attitude (Score >3) only in the diabetic
severity sub-scale. A statistically significant and negative correlation was
found between the mean hip circumference and the total Health Belief Model
Scale scores of the patients (p<0.05). There was a significant positive
correlation between the mean Diabetes Attitude Scale scores and triglyceride
levels of patients (p<0.05).

Conclusion: In the
study, patients with Type 2 diabetes were generally found to have positive
health beliefs, and negative attitudes towards diabetes. Patients' health
beliefs and diabetes attitudes were found to affect some metabolic control
variables.

TİP 2 DİYABETLİ HASTALARIN SAĞLIK İNANCI, HASTALIK TUTUMLARI VE METABOLİK KONTROLÜNÜN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Amaç: Tip 2
Diyabetli hastaların sağlık inancı, hastalık tutumları ve metabolik kontrolünü
belirlemek ve bu değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla yapıldı.

Gereç ve Yöntem:
Tanımlayıcı
türde olan araştırma Temmuz 2014-Ocak 2017 tarihleri arasında yürütüldü.
Araştırma örneklemini araştırmaya alınma kriterlerine uyan 271 Tip 2 diyabet
hastası oluşturdu. Verilerin toplanmasında Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Metabolik
Kontrol Sonuçları, Sağlık İnanç Modeli Ölçeği ve Diyabet Tutum Ölçeği
kullanıldı.

Bulgular: Diyabetli
hastaların algılanan ciddiyet, algılanan yararlar, sağlıkla ilgili aktiviteler
alt boyutlarında ve toplam sağlık inancında pozitif sağlık inancına (>4)
sahip oldukları tespit edildi. Hastaların en yüksek diyabet tutumu puan
ortalamasını diyabetin ciddiyeti alt boyutundan (3.07 ± 0.70) ve en düşük puan
ortalamasını ise özel eğitim gereksinimi alt boyutundan (1.41±0.22) aldığı görüldü.
Hastaların sadece diyabetin ciddiyeti alt boyutunda pozitif tutuma (>3)
sahip oldukları saptandı. Hastaların SİMÖ toplam puan ortalamaları ile kalça
çevresi ortalaması arasında negatif ve HDL oranları arasında pozitif, DTÖ
toplam puan ortalamaları ile trigliserit düzeyi ortalamaları arasında ise
pozitif bir ilişki bulundu (p<0.05).

Sonuç: Araştırmada
Tip 2 diyabetlilerin genel olarak sağlık inancı pozitif, diyabet tutumları ise
negatif olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların sağlık inancı ve diyabet tutumlarının
bazı metabolik kontrol değişkenlerini etkilediği belirlendi.
