Diabetess is a complexness disease and its direction requires batch of attempts non merely from the doctor but besides the patient. However the consequences sometimes do non good as one expected. Enhancing diabetes knowledge helps patient to cognize the disease in inside informations and header with lifting jobs in their day-to-day life. It besides increases assurance in them. In bends, they can decide exigency state of affairs by themselves, particularly when they live in rural country or trouble in entree to wellness attention service. Furthermore, it associated with decreased hospitalizations, exigency room visit, and overall costs to the remunerator and patient1,2. Education should be provided for both patient and household in concern with other issue such as age and developmental phase of the kid, content of instruction stuff, etc3. But the relationship between general instruction and glycemic control is inconsistent4,5.
Dissatisfaction of attention is associated with non-adherence to medical attention and even doing halting treatment1,2. This could be harmful to people with chronic disease such as diabetes. And kids with diabetes suffered more than grownups in term of clip due to the early oncoming of the class. Therefore, conformity to intervention is important to the direction of diabetes in kids. Otherwise, unstable blood glucose will happen.
There are significant groundss prove that better glycemic control, as measured by a lower HbA1c degree, is associated with fewer and delayed micro vascular complications. In the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial ( DCCT ) 6, for illustration, 1441 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus were indiscriminately assigned either to intensive therapy or conventional therapy. Intensive therapy consisted of insulin administered either by insulin extract with an external pump or more than two day-to-day insulin injections. The accommodation of insulin dose was guided by self-monitoring of blood glucose at least four times per twenty-four hours, dietetic consumption and awaited exercising. Conventional therapy consisted of no more than two day-to-day insulin injections. Urine glucose monitoring or self-monitoring of blood glucose was no more than twice day-to-day but non including insulin adjusted daily. The consequences were dramatic: 76 per centum decrease in the hazard for the development of retinopathy, 39 per centum decrease in the happening of microalbuminuria and 60 per centum decrease in clinical neuropathy. However it was associated with two-to- three crease in terrible hypoglycaemia.
There is a dearth of paediatric diabetes surveies in Vietnam. Conventional insulin intervention and lacking of instruction plan for diabetes patients is still common. Most of wellness attention recourses devoted to acute diseases. Consultation clip is non plenty dues to volume overload in outpatients and inmates every bit good. Whether those factors have impacted on glycemic control or non is still non known in the context of Vietnam. Therefore, we hypothesized that greater satisfaction with diabetes attention and better diabetes knowledge are associated with better glycemic control.
And the purpose of the present work is:
To depict the features of kids and stripling with diabetes who use outpatient services in the Children ‘s Hospitals of Ho Chi Minh metropolis.
To measure parental satisfaction utilizing the 14 points of the Patient ‘s Evaluation of the Quality of Diabetes Care ( PEQD ) graduated table.
To find diabetes knowledge of parents of kids by utilizing the Diabetes Knowledge Test, with minor alterations for the Vietnamese population.
To analyze relationships between satisfaction of attention, diabetes cognition and glycemic control.
Methods
The participants were recruited at the one-year household support groups meeting for diabetes patients and their households at Children ‘s Hospital 1 and 2 in Ho Chi Minh metropolis, Vietnam. Eligibility standards were diabetic kids and striplings who have at least one clip visit at the diabetes outpatient clinic service.
The questionnaires were completed by parents of kids. We besides gave support to people who have trouble in composing. In add-on, we contacted patients by telephone if informations was losing. Informed consent was obtained before roll uping the information. The research was approved by Institutional Review Board at Children ‘s Hospital 1 and Children ‘s Hospital 2.
Diabetess Knowledge Test
To find diabetes knowledge of parents of kids, we used the Diabetes Knowledge Test7 which was developed by the Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center with minor alterations for the Vietnamese population. The original diabetes knowledge trial consists of 23 inquiries with the first 15 inquiries about general cognition of diabetes and the last 8 inquiries about cognition of utilizing insulin. The original version of diabetes knowledge trial has Cronbach ‘s ? of 0.7. The diabetes knowledge trial mark are reported as entire mark of right replies.
Patient ‘s Evaluation of the Quality of Diabetes Care
Parental satisfaction with diabetes outpatient clinic services was assessed by utilizing the 14 points of the antecedently validated Patient ‘s Evaluation of the Quality of Diabetes Care ( PEQD ) 8 questionnaire. The PEQD turn toing issues such as waiting times, communicating of clinical information, support by diabetes care squad and easiness of doing assignments. A 5 point rating graduated table ( hapless to excellent ) was converted into a 1-5 scaling system.
Metabolic control
Metabolic control is assessed by utilizing the newest HbA1c degree which was done at the meeting. HbA1c was measured utilizing the DCA 2000 ( Bayer Australia, Ltd, Pymble, NSW, Australia ) , non-diabetic scope ( 4·0 – 6·0 % )
Statistical Analysis
Multi additive arrested development was used to analyze the relationship between HbA1c degree and diabetes cognition, satisfaction of attention. In the theoretical account, HbA1c degree was dependent variable, Diabetes Knowledge Test mark and satisfaction of attention mark as independent variables.
