Özet:

 One of the most important factors in the management of diabetes is the level of self-care of patients. It reduces mortality and morbidity and is an important marker in the course of the disease. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the self-care level of diabetic patients admitted to our hospital and the factors that may affect self-care. Diabetes patients admitted to the Diabetes and Obesity Outpatient Clinic of our hospital were examined in a 4-month period between May 15, 2021 and September 15, 2021. After verbal information, a 71-question questionnaire including sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle, education and treatments, body mass index, waist circumference and Diabetes Self-Care Scale was applied face-to-face to patients who agreed to participate in our study. Measurements were made by the researchers. p0.05 was accepted as statistical significance. The study included 132 diabetic patients, 83 women and 49 men. The mean score obtained from the Diabetes Self-Care Scale was 96.2519.61. Factors that interacted with self-care were educational status p0.001, income level p0.001, receiving education about the disease from the doctor p0.007, diet p0.003 and exercise p0.005 in the treatment, frequency of control p0.001, waist circumference p0.001 and body mass index p0.001. Management of existing patients is as important as prevention of diabetes. Self-care is an important factor in the management of the disease. Every intervention to increase self-care leads to positive results in the management of the disease.
