Abstract
Objectives: The purposes of this research were to explore sources of knowledge, knowledge, and self-care behaviors and the relationships among these three variables and gender in older adults with metabolic syndrome.
Methods: This descriptive research using Orem’s self-care theory as a conceptual framework was applied to this study. A sample of 95 older adults with metabolic syndrome was purposively recruited based on the inclusion criteria at a sub-district health promotion hospital, Nonthaburi province, from October 2018 - January 2019. Data were collected using questionnaires: demographics, source of knowledge, knowledge, and self-care behaviors. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and differences between groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test and Chi-Square test.
Results: Healthcare providers were the most frequently used sources of self-care knowledge. The participants had good knowledge about metabolic syndrome and good self-care behaviors. Relationships among gender, sources of knowledge, knowledge, and self-care behaviors were not significantly different.
Conclusions: The findings can be used in planning for appropriate and effective nursing care and activities consistent with the sources of knowledge and knowledge in older adults with metabolic syndrome.
