Background<\/strong>: : Diabetes is one of the major health concerns worldwide. Self-care is one of the most important methods in controling this disease and preventing development of complications.<\/p>\n

Objective<\/strong>: The study aimed to determine the level of adherence to self care behavior among Type 2 diabetic patients consulting at the Out Patient Department of Batangas Medical Center and Bolbok Health Center from January 2020 to December 2020<\/p>\n

Methods<\/strong>: This analytic cross-sectional study consists of administration of a validated Behavior Score Instrument and Family APGAR questionnaire among 143 diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic patients in the Family Medicine OPD Clinic and Bolbok Health Center. A purposive nonprobability sampling method was used. Data obtained were encoded and analyzed using the Stata version 17. To compare the levels of adherence between family function groups, Chi-square test and Fisher Exact test were used.<\/p>\n

Results<\/strong>: Over-all adherence to the self-care behaviors showed good adherence 94.4% (135) of the participants. None of the patients had poor adherence to self care behaviors. Majority had highly functional families (n 131; 91.6%) and none of the patients had severely dysfunctional families. Overall levels of adherence were comparable among family function groups. Good adherence to glucose monitoring was noted among higher proportions of participants with highly functional families.<\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/strong>: The study showed that the least followed behavior was medication adherence and risk reduction. Having patients adhere to anti diabetic medications is important in achieving blood glucose control and following the behaviors under risk reduction can help them from developing more complications due to their disease.<\/p>\n

Key words<\/strong>: Diabetes, self- care behavior, adherence<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,24],"tags":[16,51,49,50],"class_list":["post-3866","abstract","type-abstract","status-publish","hentry","category-abstract","category-abstract-2022-volume-60-issue-2","tag-abstract","tag-adherence","tag-diabetes","tag-self-care-behavior"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/abstract\/3866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/abstract"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/abstract"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/abstract\/3866\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3870,"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/abstract\/3866\/revisions\/3870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
