Gender differences in the evaluation of care for patients with type 2 diabetes: A cross-sectional study (ZODIAC-52)
BMC Health Services Research Apr 15, 2018
Hendriks SH, et al. - Researchers sought to investigate the patient-related factors which are associated with patients’ evaluation of care in men and women with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in primary care. They recognized only a few factors to be associated with patients’ evaluation of care for men and women with T2D. They noted the location where the questionnaire was completed (at home or at the general practice) to be associated with all outcomes in men and women. Next to this, in men, explanatory factors for the care provider EUROPEP subscale were use of insulin, having some problems with T2D self-care and coffee consumption. In women, well-being, quality of life, following a general diet, and use of oral glucose-lowering drugs were associated with the care provider subscale. Taken together, these factors explained only a small part of the variance of the EUROPEP scores. Well-being and age were explanatory factors for the general practice subscale.
