Abstract

Introduction & Objective: SELF-care is one of the most important factors in controlling DIABETES. Sometimes SELF-care is not possible due to certain barriers which inhibit the patient’s role in controlling the disease. This study aims to identify the barriers against SELF-care in diabetic patients and to find their associations with DIABETES control.Materials & Methods: The subjects of our study were 225 patients with type II DIABETES who were selected randomly. Data gathering devices were demographic and SELF-care behavior questionnaires with 34 questions about the barriers of SELF-care behavior scaling from low (1) to high (5). All cases were tested for HBA1C before entering into the study.Results: The findings of this study showed that there are different barriers against SELF-care behavior including high costs of CARE/management, busy lifestyle, depressive effect of the treatment, forgetfulness, unawareness of the SELF-care programs, having no tendency toward the program, unawareness of blood glucose test interpretation and disbelief in SELF-care results. Among the mentioned barriers, cost of management/care (r=0.24) and depression (r=0.21) had significant associations with higher HBA1C levels.Conclusion: The result of the study indicates that one of the important factors in successful treatment of diabetic patients is to help them to be active in their SELF-care. Therefore health CARE team not only should train them to do SELF-care properly but also they should guide the patients to remove the barriers to reach the best results.
