Even though self-care practice plays a critical role in preventing as well as delaying diabetes-related complications, there is poor self-care practice by patients with diabetes mellitus. In Ethiopia, especially in Tigray, there are few studies assessing self-care practice of patients with diabetes mellitus and thus this study will have an input in this area.Objective: To evaluate self-care practice and its associated factors in adult patients with diabetes mellitus having follow-up in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Diabetes Clinic.Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional analysis was made from March to May, 2015. A total of 410 patients with diabetes mellitus were included. The study participants were selected by a systematic random sampling method. Characteristics of study participants were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while bivariate and multivariable logistic regression was used to identify the association between dependent and independent variables.Results: Two hundred and eighty-eight (70.2%) study participants were above 30 years of age and 254 (62.9%) study participants were males. More than half (52.9%) of the study participants were type-2 diabetes patients. This study showed 207 (50.5%) had poor diabetes self-care practice. In multivariate logistic regression, low income (AOR = 0.518, 95% CI: 0.288– 0.929) and poor knowledge about diabetes (AOR = 5.026, 95% CI: 2.893– 8.734) were found to be significantly associated with poor self-care practice.Conclusion: The proportion of poor self-care practice was high, implying the need for regular follow-up as an integral component of the long-term management of diabetes mellitus.Keywords: self-care practice, diabetes mellitusWeledegebriel MMulugeta AHailu ADove Medical Pressarticleself-care practicediabetes mellitusSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 14, Pp 2239-2245 (2021)
