Description
Background: Almost seven million persons in Saudi Arabia are diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Lack of knowledge regarding T2DM among Saudi caregivers may impact T2DM management and disease outcomes, yet established educational programs for their caregivers are scant. There is a need to discover T2DM informal caregivers’ knowledge and its relation to patients' T2DM management, prior to designing educational interventions.
Purpose: The purpose of this quantitative, correlational study was to measure disease knowledge among informal caregivers for patients with T2DM in Saudi Arabia, and to compare findings to the patient-health status presented by HbA1C level. This study was conceptualized within nursing caring science, using Nursing as Caring Theory (Boykin & Schoenhofer, 2001), and the Individual and Family Self-Management Theory (Ryan & Sawin, 2009).
