Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study was to assess the Perceived Social Supports and Associated Factors Among Diabetes Mellitus Patients.

Methods and materials

A facility-based cross-sectional study on 399 randomly selected adult diabetes patients was conducted at JUMC with data collection between August and September 2021.The data was collected using diabetic social support tool through face-to-face interviews and document review checklist. Logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with perceived social support in diabetes patients.

Result

Two hundred nineteen (54.9%) out of 399 diabetes patients reported a good level of perceived social support. Informational support was the most reported (55.4%), followed by emotional support (52.9%), companionship support (52.9%), and instrumental or tangible support (48.8%). Having a family history of diabetes (AOR = 1.90, CI: 1.09, 3.51) and presence of chronic comorbidities (AOR = 2.01; CI: 1.08, 3.75) were positively associated with social support. Whereas unemployment (AOR = 0.09, CI: 0.02, 0.38) was negatively associated with social support.

Conclusion and recommendations

One of every two diabetes patients got adequate level of social support. Health care system, along with other stakeholders could strengthen social support in line with diabetes patients’ lifestyle.
