Abstract
A cross-sectional study was designed to examine the relationship between personal factors, knowledge of diabetes, self-regulatory ability, and self-care behaviors in glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) Type 2. The sample consisted of 403 patients who visited the diabetes clinic of primary care units in Samut-Sakhon province from August to October 2020. Questionnaires that included personal factors, knowledge of diabetes, ability to self-regulate, self-care, and self-care behaviors were used as instruments for data collection. The reliability coefficients of the questionnaires were .73, .83, .75, and .77, respectively. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and binary logistic regression. The result showed that the mean scores for knowledge of diabetes, self-care, and ability to self-regulate were at a high level (8.54, 32.85, and 44.49, respectively). In the relationship study, personal factors on follow-up care, self-preparation for food, and having family members with diabetes, knowledge of diabetes and self-care were statistically significant associated with self-care behaviors for glycemic control at the .05 level. Therefore, nurses and public health workers should promote self-care behaviors for glycemic control by emphasizing self-regulation to improve knowledge of self-care, follow-up care, and self-cooking for better self-care behaviors and glycemic control.
