Abstract
Objective: To investigate and analyze the current situation of cognition, attitude, behavior, and influencing factors of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients in Neijiang City, and to explore the effectiveness of the application of the education program based on the popularization of science in general medicine. Methods: Seventy cases of T2DM patients in Neijiang City were selected and randomly divided into 35 cases each in the observation group and the control group. The observation group received general medicine science education intervention and the control group received traditional health education. Indicators such as cognitive level, attitude, and behavioral change between the two groups were compared to assess the effect of general medical science education. Results: Before the intervention, there was no difference between the two groups in terms of knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors in general medicine, glycemic control, body mass index (BMI), and satisfaction with health education (P > 0.05). After 3 months of the intervention, there was a highly significant difference in the aforementioned levels between the two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The approach of general medicine popularization had a significant effect on the treatment and management of T2DM patients in Neijiang City. It improved the patient’s cognitive level and self-management ability of the disease, increased their treatment adherence, and improved the therapeutic effect.
