Introduction: Increasing patient
empowerment in order to improve diabetes self-care plays an important role in
disease control. One of the most important measures/steps in this field is
promoting patients' self-efficacy which can lead to greater participation of the patient
in treatment and prevention of serious complications in patients. The purpose
of this study hence was to determine the predictors of self-efficacy for
self-care behavior in patients with type II diabetes In order to plan
educational interventions in health promotion strategies. Materials and
Methods: This is a descriptive study conducted on 187 diabetic patients
referred to Hazrat Ali diabetes clinic in Isfahan, using the convenience
sampling method. Health literacy, self-efficacy and diabetes knowledge in
patients were assessed by standard questionnaires i.e FCCHL, DMSES and DKQ
respectively. The data collected was analyzed, using descriptive and
inferential statistics by
means of SPSS vr.17 software. Results: There was a statistically significant
association between functional, communicative, and critical, health literacy
and diabetes knowledge with patient’s self-efficacy for diabetes self-care.
Pearson's correlation coefficient revealed that all of these factors had a
linear and direct relationship with self-efficacy and the predictive power (R2)
was equal to 0.37. Functional health literacy is a better predictor of
self-efficacy for self-care behaviors in diabetic patients. Conclusion:
Considering the importance of self-efficacy in educational interventions for
improving diabetes self-care, well documented in various studies, raising
patient levels of knowledge and health literacy as predictors affecting
self-efficacy is imperative. |
