摘要：

This study involved 1202 patients who were placed into low adherence or high adherence groups based on their answers to questionnaires. The attitudes of each group were compared for a variety of adherence behaviors. Patients who reported high levels of adherence tended to have attitudes more in accord with diabetes experts. Members of the high adherence group strongly supported the need for special training for health care professionals who treat diabetes, favored team care, accepted the importance of patient compliance, acknowledged the seriousness of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), and recognized the relationship between glucose control and complications. Differences in attitudes between high- and low adherence groups were more prevalent for difficult adherence areas, eg, diet and exercise, than for easy adherence areas, eg, carrying sweets or diabetic identification. An understanding of patients' attitudes can help diabetes educators and patients develop realistic and relevant self-care plans.
