description |
Diabetes is a major health problem in Malaysia particularly in Kelantan state. This cross-sectional study was designed to
determine the knowledge, attitude and perceive practice towards type II diabetes among the public residants of Kelantan in
relation towards their blood glucose level. About 68 respondents aged from 18 to 59 years old, were approached personally
to participate in this study. Data collection was done through face-to-face interview using a questionnaire consisted of four
sections; knowledge, attitude, and perceive practice (KAP) questionnaire including recent fasting blood glucose (FBG) readings.
The results showed that most of the respondents had a moderate level of knowledge (54.4%, n=37), positive attitude (72%,
n=49), and good perceive practice level (51.5%, n=35) towards diabetes mellitus. There was no significant relationship between
knowledge, attitude, and perceive practice level towards diabetes mellitus at p<0.05. KAP level towards diabetes mellitus
showed no significant relationship with blood glucose level at p<0.05. Findings indicate that most respondents had normal
BMI (18.5 – 24.9) (64.7%, n=44) and normal FBG reading (< 6.1 mmol/L) (92.6%, n=63). As conclusion, respondents
with higher educational level were more likely to have a higher level of knowledge about diabetes mellitus; however, this did
not influence attitude, perceive practice and fasting blood glucose of respondents. |
