摘要
Objective Diabetes, a rising global health problem, requires continuous self-care practice. There are limited studies about self-care practice, and most of the studies conducted in Ethiopia focused on some parts of the recommended self-care practices. Therefore, this study aimed to assess diabetes self-care practice and associated factors among diabetic patients attending at University of Gondar Referral Hospital, Gondar, Northwest Ethiopia. Results The study revealed that 51.86% (95% CI 46.95-56.72%) of the patients have poor self-care practice. Unable to read and write (AOR = 3.36; 95% CI 1.42-7.90), primary level of education (AOR = 2.62; 95% CI 1.20-5.70), living in rural area (AOR = 3.33; 95% CI 1.61-6.88), having strong social support (AOR = 0.31; 95% CI 0.15-0.62), having diabetes related complication (AOR = 2.20; 95% CI 1.12-4.30), and poor socio-economic status (AOR = 2.16; 95% CI 1.17-3.98) were factors significantly associated with poor self-care practice of patients with diabetes. The study indicates that the prevalence of poor self-care practice was high. Education, residence, socio-economic status, complication and social support were significantly associated with poor self-care practice. Therefore, strategies should be developed to support patients with information, glucometer, and enhance patient's social support.
