This study was designed to identify the relationship between perceived self-efficacy and self care behavioral compliance in type II diabetic patient. The subjects for this study were the 113 adults with type II diabetes that received hospital treatment or attended as outpatients in 2 general hospitals at Inchon City. The data were collected during the period from August 15 to semtember 15, 2000 by means of an interview. Collected data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation using the SPSS/PC+ program. The results of this study were as follows : 1. The mean score of self care behavioral compliance was 3.06. 2. There were statistically significant difference in self care behavioral compliance according to sex(p<0.05), age (p<0.001), BMI(p<0.05), education(p<0.001), occupation(p<0.001), experience of diabetic education(p<0.05) and complication(p<0.05). 3. The mean score of perceived self-efficacy was 3.45. Self care behavioral compliance and perceived self-efficacy had a positive correlation which was statistically significant (r=0.3879 p<0.001). 4. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to identify the influencing factors for self care behavioral compliance. Education, experience of diabetic education and self-efficacy accounted for 41% of the variance in self care behavioral compliance. The results suggest that education, experience of diabetic education and self-efficacy are important variables in the compliance of self-care behavior with typeII diabetes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify levels of health literacy and examine the effects of health literacy and self-care activities on quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A cross sectional design was used. Questionnaires were administered via the Gallup to 500 Korean patients with diabetes in Seoul and Gyeonggi areas. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t tests, one way ANOVA, and hierarchical regression. Results: Of 500 patients, 12.4% (n=62) indicated 'inadequate' health literacy, and 43.8% (n=219) reported 'marginal' or 'adequate' health literacy. Levels of health literacy significantly differed by demographic characteristics, self-care activities, and quality of life. The factors that had a significant effect on quality of life included inadequate health literacy (B=3.63, p=.042) and marginal health literacy (B=3.84, p=.002); however, no significant relationship was found for self-care activities (B=0.01, p=.827). Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrate a need for further research with large samples using Korean Health Literacy Scale for Diabetes Mellitus to establish the relationships between health literacy, diabetes self-care activities, and quality of life.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the predictors of cardiovascular risk factors among type 2 diabetic patients. Method: Data were collected from November, 2003 to June, 2004 using a physiological index and questionnaires. Patients(N=159) aged 40 and above were conveniently recruited from health care centers in B city. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS WIN 10.0 program. Results: The cardiovascular risk factors were negatively related with female gender, household monthly income, educational experience about diabetes, physical activity, self-care, self-efficacy and problem oriented coping, while positively related with the duration of diabetes, diabetic family history and depression. Self-care, diabetic family history, female gender, monthly household income, self-efficacy, affective-oriented coping and physical activity predicted 41.5% of the variance in cardiovascular risk factors of diabetic patients. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, we concluded that cardiovascular risk factors of type 2 diabetic patients are related to the modifiable and non-modifiable variables. Self-care, self-efficacy, affective oriented coping, and physical activity were identified as modifiable variables. Intervention programs to increase those variables are warranted to reduce cardiovascular risk factors among type 2 diabetic patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Internet education on plasma glucose and serum lipids in female type 2 diabetic patients. Method: Control and experimental groups were assessed by a pre-test and at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months. Fourteen patients were assigned randomly to an intervention group and 15 to a control group. Patients in the intervention group were requested to input their blood glucose levels everyday by cellular phone or wire Internet for 1 year. The goal of the intervention was to keep blood glucose concentrations close to the normal range (glycosylated hemoglobin, HbA1c<7%). An intervention was applied to the intervention group weekly for 1 year. Optimal recommendations were sent weekly by a short message service from a cellular phone and wire Internet. Results: Patients in the intervention group had a significant mean change in HbA1c, from 7.6% at pre-test to 6.9%, at 3 months and equalized at 6.7% at 12 months. There was no significant time and group differences observed in the serum lipids. Conclusion: These findings indicate that Internet education would improve and maintain the normal range of HbA1c in female type 2 diabetic patients.

The purpose of this study was to develop a system dynamics model for management of glucose metabolism disorders that demonstrated dynamic relationships between insulin and plasma glucose levels over the time. The model was developed to 1) represent the physiology of glucose metabolism for an normal adult subject, 2) to draw causal loop diagram that demonstrate feedback systems of glucose regulation in normal condition and pathologic condition of the type 2 diabetes, 3) to develop an interactive computer simulation model for management of glucose metabolism disorders. The simulation results showed the plasma glucose level for normal persons varied from 75 to 140 which was consistent with clinical findings. As an example for patients we selected a case which varied from 110 to 310. Two types of interventions were chosen to review the model; meal control and insulin administration. The simulation results for those cases also matched well with clinical findings. The developed model can be used as an effective educational tool for patients to develop healthy lifestyle choices. The results also provide a blueprint for health providers to maintain normal blood glucose levels in diabetes patients.

Purpose: This research seeks to identify differences between general characteristics, disease-related characteristics, glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc) levels, and aspects of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus in type 2 diabetes. Methods: This research was conducted from the 1st to the 15th of February in 2016, on 263 in patients. Patients' electronic medical records were used to identify their general characteristics, disease-related characteristics, HbAlc, and chronic diabetic complications. Chi-square test, ANOVA, ANCOVA, and the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test were used for data analysis. Results: Statistical significance was observed for general characteristics, based on smoking status, such as age, and education level; disease-related characteristics differed according to the duration of diabetes. Smoking status did not differ according to HbAlc level. In term of chronic diabetic complications, statistically significance was observed for diabetic nephropathy, based on smoking status. Conclusion: Patients who had a history of smoking, but were not currently smoking, were likely to display higher HbAlc levels and diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, there is need for regular checkups for diabetic complications among patients with a history of smoking and it is important to emphasize smoking cessation.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the association between self-assessed periodontal symptoms and glycated hemoglobin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 156 patients with type 2 diabetes who were aged 50 years or older. Structured questionnaires were used to investigate the self-assessed periodontal symptoms of the patients. The glycated hemoglobin test was performed to evaluate their long-term blood glycemic control. Chi-square test and logistic multiple regression were performed to analyze the factors associated with glycated hemoglobin levels. Results: Compared with patients aged 65 years and above, more patients aged 64 years and below showed poor glycemic control (p=0.020). Further, compared with patients without self-perceived gingival bleeding and halitosis, more patients with these two conditions showed poor glycemic control (p<0.05). Compared with the group of patients without any periodontal symptoms, the group of patients that had at least one periodontal symptom had a higher proportion of patients with poor glycemic control (p<0.001). In the logistic regression model, gingival bleeding and halitosis were the factors most associated with hyperglycemia (p<0.05). Conclusions: The results of our study suggest that gingival bleeding and halitosis can predict hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Purpose: This study was to identify the effect of the experience of diabetes education on knowledge, self-care behavior and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C). Further, this study was held to examine about patient's preferred methods of education and re-education frequency. Methods: 166 type 2 diabetes patients from two hospitals in Incheon participated in this study. Data were analyzed by using descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test and multiple regression analysis. Results: 72.3% patients needed re-education and the average interval of re-education was 8.53 months. Patients preferred education methods were lectures, practical training, and studying from pamphlet. Depending on the frequency of diabetes education, there were significant differences in the level of diabetes knowledge (F=10.88, p<.001) and self-care behaviors (F=4.59, p=.012), but there was not significant difference with HbA1C (F=1.53, p=.220). As to how much the diabetes education helped managing diabetes, there was a significant difference in the level of self-care behaviors (t=2.01, p=.049), but there were not significant differences in level of knowledge (t=1.10, p=.275) and HbA1C (t=-.33, p=.746). The experience of diabetes education was a significant factor which influenced patient's knowledge (t=3.93, p<.001) and self-care behaviors (t=2.21, p<.001). But HbA1C was not influenced by the experience of diabetes education (t=-1.68, p=.096). Conclusion: It is necessary to provide diabetes education with appropriate interval and methods and subjects that reflect the needs of patient through the study results.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the difference in knowledge and learning needs of the coronary artery disease according to the general characteristics of the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: The participants were 188 patients who had diabetes mellitus. Data were obtained between January and April 2006 by asking the knowledge and learning needs of the coronary artery disease. Data were analyzed using SAS program. Results: Participants' knowledge level was high in the cause and prevention, but the level was low in the symptom and occurrence of pain. Learning need for "Influence of smoking on heart disease" and "The structure and functions of the heart" was great, but learning need for "Complete diagnosis" and "Management of pain and pressure on the sternum" was little. No significant differences were found in the knowledge level of the coronary artery disease according to the general characteristics. Learning needs were greater in participants under 60 years of age (p=0.011) and in those with low education level (p=0.049). There was a significant correlation between knowledge and learning needs of the coronary artery disease (p=0.003). Conclusion: In planing the education programs, the general characteristics of the patients should be considered.
