Abstract EN
Background: Diabetes prevalence has risen more rapidly in middle- and low-income countries and has emerged as the seventh highest cause of death in such countries.
Socio-demographics, patient knowledge and clinical factors, such as family history of diabetes, have a vital effect on the disease outcomes.
This study assessed self-care practices among patients with type 2 diabetes to determine the probability of self-care by predictor variables, including socio-economic and clinical factors, and quantify the marginal effects of these independent variables on different self-care practices among diabetic patients.
Methods: This exploratory study collected data from 200 type 2 diabetes patients at a branch of private pharmacy in Pakistan using a convenient sampling technique and a semi-structured questionnaire.
An ordered probit regression model was used to analyze the different self-care practices among diabetic patients.
With self-practices ordered in four classes from poor to good, the marginal effects of each socio-economic and clinical factors were also calculated on the likelihood of aforesaid self-care practices among diabetic patients.
Results: Results showed that the relationships of household income, patient’s choice of private or public hospital for treatment, and patient’s weight with selfcare probability were statistically significant.
These socio-demographics and clinical indicators significantly influenced each category of self-care practices.
Conclusion: Socio-demographic and clinical factors played a decisive role in the healthcare practices among type-2 diabetes patients.
Monthly household income, patient’s choice of private or public hospital for treatment, and patient’s weight influenced different levels of self-care practices.
Income had a negative contribution in poor and fair self-care levels of practices, whereas it had a positive role in average and good self-care levels of practices.
