Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to investigate the risk of type 2 diabetes, behavioral and familial risk factors, and awareness of type 2 diabetes in students. Method: The research was applied to students of a state university. In data collection, "informed consent form", "questions about social-demographic characteristics", "Finnish Type-2 DM Risk Scale (FINDRISK) and Type 2 diabetes awareness level, and questions about behavioral risk factors questionnaire" were used. Frequency and percentage calculation, independent groups t-test, and one-way ANOVA test were used in the analysis. Post-Hoc tests were used to determine the source of the difference in groups with a significant difference. Results: It was determined that the average of the Findirisk scale of the students was 6.16±3.66 and the mean of the awareness level scale about Type 2 DM was 14.63±3.62. In addition, there is a weak negative correlation between the diabetes risk determined according to the Findrisk scale of the students and the level of knowledge of type 2 DM.(r=0.038, p>0.05). Conclusion: It was observed that the risk of diabetes decreased as the awareness level of the students participating in the study increased.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, öğrencilerde tip 2 diyabet riskini, davranışsal ve ailesel risk faktörlerini ve tip 2 diyabet farkındalığını araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırma bir devlet üniversitesi öğrencilerine uygulanmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında "bilgilendirilmiş onam formu", "sosyo-demografik özellikler ile ilgili sorular", "Finlandiya Tip-2 DM Risk Ölçeği (FINDRISK) ve Tip 2 diyabet farkındalık düzeyi ve davranışsal risk faktörleri ile ilgili sorular anketi" kullanılmıştır. Analizlerde frekans ve yüzde hesaplaması, bağımsız gruplar t-testi ve tek yönlü ANOVA testi kullanılmıştır. Anlamlı fark bulunan gruplarda farkın kaynağını belirlemek için Post-Hoc testleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin Findirisk ölçeği ortalamasının 6.16±3.66, Tip 2 DM hakkındaki farkındalık düzeyi ölçeği ortalamasının ise 14.63±3.62 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin Findrisk ölçeğine göre belirlenen diyabet riski ile Tip 2 DM bilgi düzeyi arasında negatif yönde zayıf bir korelasyon vardır (r=0.038, p>0.05). Sonuç: Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin farkındalık düzeyi arttıkça diyabet riskinin azaldığı görülmüştür.
