ABSTRACT

Aims Self-treatment in diabetes can change blood sugar levels and cause life-threatening complica-tions in patients. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the application of BASNEF Model in analyzing self-treatment Behavior among patients with type 2 diabetes.
Materials & Methods This cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study was conducted on patients with type II diabe-tes presenting to Kermanshah Diabetes Center in 2014. The patients were randomly selected and recruited. A questionnaire was used to collect demographic data and measure constructs of BASNEF model. Data were analyzed in SPSS-16 using Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis Chi-square and logistic regression tests.
Findings Of the participants, 50.5% possessed self-treatment behaviors. According to the results, BASNEF model explained 24 percent of the variance in frequency of self-treatment behav-iors. Attitudes, subjective norms, and enabling factors were the most significant predictors (P<0.05).
Conclusion In this study, the prevalence of self-treatment was high among type 2 diabetic patients. Ap-plying BASNEF model appears to be an efficient tool for predicting self-treatment behaviors among diabetic patients.
