| description | Globally, 643 million people will be affected by 2030, and 783 million by 2045 with diabetes mellitus (DM), a severe disease that affects 537 million people worldwide in 2021. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has the highest prevalence of diabetes mellitus among the top ten countries worldwide. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify the factors influencing diabetes care and assess their relative importance.
Research was conducted in the Hail region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study recruited 258 diabetes patients visiting the Primary Health Centers in Hail City as part of their routine healthcare. Analyzing the data was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS-22). As far as Cronbach's Alpha is concerned, it was 0.717, and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) was 0.705.
The study has found that the six factors including accessibility of diabetes care (p = .024), availability of diabetes services (p = .029), quality of diabetes care (p = .024), disease management strategies (p = .037), basic amenities of health system (p = .028) and health education resources (p = .030) play a significant role in providing diabetes care services to patients. According to the adjusted R^2^ of 0.773 (p 0.001), diabetes care is significantly influenced by these six variables. The comparative importance of the factors indicates that, out of six, quality of diabetes care is the most influential; the availability of diabetes services and health education resources are the second and third most influential factors. In order to provide better care for diabetic patients, healthcare organizations should focus on these factors. |
