The Relationship Between Health Literacy, Diabetic Control, and Disease-Specific Complications in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Öz:

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between health literacy,diabetic control, and diabetic complications in patients with type1 diabetes mellitus (DM).Methods: This was a descriptive study. A total of 106 patients with type 1 DM who werebetween 18 and 65 years of age and who could speak and understand Turkish and had nocognitive disease were included in the study. The Turkish version of the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q47) was used to assess health literacy. The retinopathy status and levels of hemoglobin A1c, fasting blood sugar, and urine albumin of the patients were obtained from the hospital files.Results: Overall health literacy was inadequate in 10.4%, problematic in 54.7%, adequatein 20.8%, and excellent in 14.2% of the participants. Retinopathy was found to be statistically significantly higher in the problematic+inadequate group than in the adequate+excellentgroup in the overall health literacy evaluation (24.6% and 5.4%, respectively). There was nosignificant difference in the frequency of neuropathy, nephropathy, or cardiovascular diseasein the health literacy groups.Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that low health literacy in patients with type1 DM was associated with increased retinopathy. Physicians should keep the positive effectsof education in mind in order to better control the disease and prevent complications.

Tip 1 Diyabetes Mellitus Hastalarında Sağlık Okuryazarlığı ve Diyabet Kontrolü ve Hastalığa Özgü Komplikasyonlar Arasındaki İlişki

Öz:

Amaç: Tip 1 diyabetes mellitus hastalarında sağlık okuryazarlığının diyabet kontrolü ve hastalığa özgü komplikasyonlarla ilişkisini araştırmak amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır. On sekiz–altmış beş yaş aralığında olan Türkçe konuşan ve herhangi bir bilişsel rahatsızlığı olmayan 106 tip 1diyabetes mellitus hastası araştırmaya dahil edildi. Avrupa Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Araştırması Anket soruları kişilerin sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeylerini ölçmede kullanıldı. Katılımcıların retinopati muayeneleri, HbA1c sonuçları, açlık kan şekeri sonuçları ve albuminüri seviyeleri hasta dosyalarından elde edildi. Bulgular: Toplamda sağlık okuryazarlığı %10.4 katılımcıda yetersiz, %54.7 katılımcıda problemli, %20.8 katılımcıda yeterli ve %14.2 katılımcıda mükemmeldi. Retinopati sıklığı, sağlık okuryazarlığı problemli ve yetersiz olan grupta yeterli ve mükemmel olan gruba oranla daha sıktı (%24.6 ve %5.4). Sağlık okuryazarlığı gruplarında nöropati ve nefropati ve kardiyovasküler hastalıklar arasında fark yoktu. Sonuç: Çalışma sonucunda tip 1 diyabetes mellitus hastalarında sağlık okuryazarlığının artmış retinopati riski ile ilişkili olduğu görüldü. Hekimler hastalık kontrolü ve korunmasında eğitimin önemini akılda tutmalıdırlar
