description |
Knowledge and attitude of diabetes mellitus are important because it plays a
major role in the prevention of this disease. Thus it is crucial to study these aspects in
order to know the gaps among the sampled population.
The objective of this research is to study the level of knowledge and attitude
regarding diabetes among the sampled population aged 20 years and above of Taman
Susur Jambu Indah, Sarikei from 15th February until 11th April 2008.
A cross-sectional study was done on a sampled population of 268 respondents
chosen by universal sampling. Data collection was conducted by using an questionnaire
guided interview. Data entry and analyses were done using SPSS version 13.0, with
parametric tests including ANOVA, chi-square test, independent `t' test, Fisher exact test
and Pearson's correlation test, and non-parametric tests including Mann-Whitney test and
Kruskal-Wallis test.
Based on the results, the total score of knowledge was 94.78% with a mean score
of 23.95. There was significant correlation between level of knowledge and level of
education, household income and family history of diabetes (p<0.05). On the other hand,
there was no significant relationship between level of knowledge with age and gender
(p>0.05). Overall percentage of positive attitudes among the respondents was very high,
99.25%. There was positive correlation between level of attitude with the level of
education (p<0.05). Conversely, there were negative relationship between level of attitude
with age, gender, family history of diabetes and household income (p>0.05).
In conclusion, influence on knowledge axle attitude is multifactorial. The better
level of knowledge will reflect the better level of attitude. However, the attitude level is
almost perfect in the sampled population compare to level of knowledge which showed
that there was no attitudinal problem. So the intervention programme will mainly focus
on increasing the level of knowledge of respondent toward diabetes. |
