ABSTRACT

Objectives To study the status of medical compliance and the reason of non-medical compliance behavior of the Hui diabetics. Methods 121 Hui diabetics were recruited by convenient sampling, investigated by medical compliance questionnaire and interviewed by open questions about the reason of non-medical compliance behavior (e.g. drug therapy, diet therapy, sports therapy, self monitoring and periodic review). Results The mean score of the medical compliance behaviors was (32.69±8.64), and the overall rate of non-medical compliance was 95.9%(116/121) in Hui diabetics. Arranged by the rate of non-medical compliance in descending order, the five dimensions of medical compliance behaviors were sports therapy, self monitoring, periodic review, diet therapy and drug therapy in turn. The reason of non-medical compliance behavior mainly included the cognition of treatment, the economic conditions, job, minority customs and religion. Conclusions Non-medical compliance behaviors existed in five major diabetes therapies in the Hui diabetics. The patients and their families should be educated and conducted individually according to their specific situation to improve the medical compliance behavior.
