The aim of the present study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practice regarding diabetic retinopathy among patients attending a diabetic clinic and identify the effect of an educational program about diabetic retinopathy.Patients and methods: Two hundred diabetic patients were recruited from the outpatient’s diabetic clinic, Assiut University hospitals, Egypt. Quasi-experimental (pretest-posttest) research design was applied using a structured interview questionnaire; including socio-demographic data, assessment of the patients’ knowledge, attitude, and practices toward diabetic retinopathy.Results: The mean score of knowledge and attitude showed significant improvement (5.3 and 15.1, respectively in pretest vs 16.7 and 16.8, respectively in posttest) among the diabetic patients (p<0.001). From multivariate linear regression model; the predictors for knowledge score were educational level, family history of diabetes and diabetic retinopathy and hypertension. Likewise, attitude score predictors were age, residence, and smoking. Predictors for practice score were hypertension, blood sugar level, and weight.Conclusion: There was a statistically significant relationship between educational level and mean knowledge score. The diabetic education program significantly helped to improve awareness of patients in relation to diabetic retinopathy.Keywords: diabetic retinopathy, knowledge, attitude, practices, educational programKhalaf FRFahmy HMIbrahim AKMohamed GAEl Sayed Ez Eldeen MElkady AHetta HFDove Medical PressarticleDiabetic retinopathyKnowledgeAttitudePracticesEducational programSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 12, Pp 1867-1875 (2019)
