ABSTRACT
Chronic kidney diseases (CKD) is an important public health issue worldwide, and diabetes mellitus is the main cause of CKD. Having sufficient disease knowledge and good self-care behavior both help to prevent the progression of diabetes mellitus and CKD. This cross-sectional study enrolled 181 type 2 diabetic patients with CKD from July 2017 to October 2017. Perceived Kidney Knowledge survey and structured questionnaires of self-care behavior were used to measure perceived disease knowledge and CKD Self-Care (CKDSC) scales respectively with the determinants analyzed by linear regression. Meanwhile, socio-demographic information, kidney function and laboratory data were collected. Of 181 enrolled patients, the mean age was 66.8â
±â
9.7 years, 59.1% were male and the mean estimated glomerular filtration rate was 33.1â
±â
23.1 mL/min/1.73 m2. The mean scores of CKDSC and perceived disease knowledge were 63.2 and 22.4, respectively. High scores of disease knowledge were significantly correlated with low glycated hemoglobin (Pâ
=â
.03) and high scores of overall self-care behavior (Pâ
=â
.03) and aspects of self-care behavior, including diet (Pâ
=â
.003), exercise (Pâ
=â
.02), and home blood pressure monitoring (Pâ
=â
.04). The relationship between young age and high scores of disease knowledge was found (Pâ
=â
.001); however, old age was significantly associated with high scores of overall self-care behavior (Pâ
<â
.001) while additionally, married patients had high scores of regular medication behavior (Pâ
=â
.03). Our findings identified the significant factors correlated with disease knowledge and self-care behavior in type 2 diabetic patients with CKD. Healthcare givers should establish personalized health education plans to improve perceived disease knowledge and self-care behavior.
