Resumen
Objective: Evaluate a comprehensive diabetes education intervention in relation to the level ;of knowledge in patients with diabetes. Method: Quasi-experimental design with 17 patients diagnosed with diabetes who reported ;being illiterate or have basic education and belong to the Villa Aquiles Serdan community, in ;Pachuca, Hidalgo. Between July and December 2013, a survey to identify sex, age, educational ;level, occupation, marital status and disease evolution was conducted. In addition, glycated ;hemoglobin measurement was requested. Diabetes knowledge was measured with the Diabetes ;Knowledge Questionnaire (pre-test and post-test). Descriptive statistics and comparison of ;means were performed using Student’s t-test. ; Results: A percentage of 64.7 were women; 41.2% of whom were housewives; regarding level of ;education, 17.6% were illiterate; the mean age was 52.6 ;± ;5.8 years (range 39-72). The average ;time having diabetes was 112.00 ;± ;59.1 months (range 1-180). A 88.2% had not previously taken ;a course. A 58.8% did not belong to a mutual-help group; for the rest, the average time within the ;mutual-help group was 156 months (range 6-156). The intervention showed statistically significant ;differences in the knowledge level in 70.8% of the items: basic information (P < 0.000), on ;the control (P < 0.000) and complications (P < 0.000), and the overall level (P < 0.000). Regarding ;the levels of glycated hemoglobin, the mean difference was 1.01 mg/dL ;± ;1.77 mg/dL (P = 0.053) ; Conclusions: The intervention showed significant changes in the levels of knowledge in respect ;of basic information, control and complications. As well as in the overall knowledge average. Glycated hemoglobin showed no statistically significant differences. It is important to continue ;comprehensive educational interventions that include nutritional, psychological, medical, and ;pharmacological aspects, and have culturally competent strategies.
