Factors associated with KAP results
Analysis of factors associated with KAP results was summarized inTable 4 . Patients having duration of insulin one year or more
had better knowledge (p=0.025), more positive attitude (p=0.017), and
better practice of insulin (p=0.042). Patients using insulin combined
with oral diabetic medications or having history of using insulin vials
had more positive attitude of insulin role (0.038). Frequency of
having good knowledge was statistically significantly higher in
participants who received counseling from health professionals
previously (p=0.001). The study also found a positive correlation
between good knowledge of patients and good practical skills
(p<0.001). Other independent variables such as age, sex,
location, occupation, level of education, duration of diabetes, family
history, and comorbidity did not affect significantly statistically with
KAP results.
