Background: The prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has increased among the adult population in Saudi Arabia, as well as the development of secondary health problems. A major concern is that Saudis with T2DM fail to perform their diabetes self-care management. A person’s belief system influences their health behaviors; however, no studies were found that examined the association between the belief system of Saudi adults with T2DM, and their diabetic self-care management.
Purpose: To examine the association between the health beliefs of adults in Saudi Arabia with T2DM and their adherence to diabetes self-care management.
Theoretical Framework: Modified Social Learning Theory.
Description of the sample: Descriptive correlational design using self-reported questionnaires; a convenience sample of 30 participants.
Setting: Participants were recruited from King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh for this pilot study.
Results: Participants belief about their Health Locus of Control (HLOC) moderated the relationship between outcome expectancy and adherence to blood glucose testing was due to chance (p = 0.023), their doctor (p = 0.045), or God (p = 0.013). The relationship between participants belief regarding their self-efficacy and adherence to medication was moderated by their belief that God controlled their health; the stronger the participants belief that God was in control of their health resulted in greater adherence to medication for those with higher self-efficacy (p = 0.035). Participants who expected better health outcomes, yet reported a low internal HLOC, were more likely to follow a specific diet (p = 0.015). Additionally internal HLOC moderated the relationship between self-efficacy and adherence to foot care (p = 0.038).
Conclusions and Implication: Participants belief system was found to influence their level of adherence to diabetes self-care management; however, additional studies are needed using a larger sample.
