Abstract:
Objective:To survey the knowledge,attitude and practice (KAP) for diabetic retinopathy (DR) among diabetic patients in Shanghai suburb, and to analyze the related influencing factors.Methods:A cross-sectional survey on KAP for diabetic retinopathy was conducted from January to January 2022,a total of 260 diabetic patients were selected from Huacao Town of Shanghai Minhang District by stratified cluster random sampling method as the investigation subjects. The gender, age, height, weight, education level, occupation, frequency of exercise or outdoor sports, medical insurance status, comorbid chronic diseases, diabetic retinopathy in direct relatives were documented;the KAP of diabetes retinopathy prevention and treatment was investigated by a self-designed questionnaire. The influencing factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate regression analysis.Results:A total of 260 valid questionnaires were received with a recovery rate of 100.0%. The survey showed that the knowledge awareness rate, attitude positive rate and behavior execution rate were 25.38% (66/260), 50.76% (132/260) and 14.61% (38/260), respectively; scores of knowledge,attitude,behavior and medication compliance of the subjects were 13.74±4.55, 10.40±3.23 and 14.92±4.51, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the knowledge was significantly related to occupations,frequency of exercise or outdoor exercise,chronic disease, direct relatives with DR( F=5.03, 8.77, 5.08, 32.37,all P<0.05);the attitude was significantly related to age, education level, chronic disease, direct relatives with DR and awareness level of DR( F=2.12, 2.09, 2.75, 3.28,all P<0.05); the behavior was significantly related to age, frequency of exercise or outdoor exercise, direct relatives with DR( F=2.30, 2.70, 3.11,all P<0.05). Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis showed that the knowledge awareness score was significantly associated with age,education levels,direct relatives with DR( t=2.83, 2.46, 6.24,all P<0.05),and the age, chronic disease, awareness score were significantly associated with the attitude toward DR prevention and treatment ( t=3.70, 3.42, 6.03,all P<0.05).Patients with insufficient awareness had worse behavior of DR prevention and treatment( t=11.00, P<0.05). Conclusions:The KAP status of DR prevention and treatment in diabetes patients in Huacao Town is less satisfactory. In order to prevent the occurrence of diabetic retinopathy, it is necessary to strengthen health education, improve self-management ability, enhance lifestyle intervention, and increase the frequency of exercise or outdoor exercise in diabetic patients.
