Abstract
The objective of this descriptive research was to examine predicting factors regarding glycemic control behaviors among patients with type 1 diabetes attending at hospitals, Ministry of Defense. Simple random sampling method was employed for eligible participants recruitment, who were 18 years old and older. One hundred and thirty-five participants were invited to response a set of questionnaire based on the PRECEDE framework.
The results reveal that there were significant associations between the predisposing factors (gender duration of having type 1 diabetes, knowledge and attitude), enabling factor (access to medical services) and reinforcing factor (social support) and glycemic control behaviors (p-value < .05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the factors predicting the glycemic control behaviors among patients with type 1 diabetes were, knowledge and social support. This model could explain 45.80% of the variations in glycemic control behavior scores among patients with type 1 diabetes attending at hospitals under the Ministry of Defense (R2 = .458, p-value < .01). Recommendations from the study results, to promote glycemic control behaviors among patients with type 1 diabetes, were providing knowledge of self-management and complications management for patients with type 1 diabetes. Additional social support for patients with type 1 diabetes and their familics should be provided. Group discussion on sharing experiences, continuing treatment from pediatrician to adult physician clinic, home visiting, and providing information and resources on self-care management for glycemic control are also recommended.
