Abstract
Background: Dermatophytoses tend to have a poorer outcome in diabetic patients than in non-diabetic patients. Therefore, diabetic patients need to pay a closer attention to the prevention and treatment of dermatophytoses. The aim of this study was to determine the level of understanding of the dermatophytoses in diabetic patients and to clarify the factors associated with the level of understanding. Methods: A questionnaire survey was carried out from June to July, 2005, targeting 200 patients who had visited two hospitals in Seoul for the management of diabetes. There were 163 respondents (response rate 50.9%). The degree of understanding was calculated by giving 1 point to each question, with a maximum of 12 points. Results: The average degree of understanding of dermatophytoses was 6.68 points (SD 1.79). Younger age (P= 0.0002), high education level (P=0.0035), and high income (P=0.0013) were the factors related to a better understanding of dermatophytoses. The patients who had obtained the information on dermatophytoses from the websites, broadcasts, newspapers, or magazines showed higher recognition points than others (P=0.0377). The body mass index, the duration of diabetes, the complications associated with diabetes did not affect the understanding of dermatophytoses. Conclusion: There are many diabetes patients who do not know enough about dermatophytoses. Diabetes itself is not related to the level of understanding of dermatophytoses. However, diabetic patients who are older, have a lower level of education, and a low income will need to be informed about prevention and treatment of dermatophytoses.
