Health literacy refers to an individual's\n\nability to access, understand, and utilize health-\nrelated information in order to make appropriate\n\ndecisions regarding their health. Among individuals\nwith diabetes mellitus, health literacy is of particular\n\nimportance due to the complexity of disease self-\nmanagement, treatment adherence, and prevention of\n\ncomplications. Objective. To assess the level of\nhealth literacy among individuals with diabetes\nmellitus and to examine the association between\nsociodemographic characteristics and health literacy. <br> <br>\nMaterial and methods. A cross-sectional study was\nconducted between April 1 and June 1, 2025, among\n61 members of the Diabetes Association of Prijedor.\nHealth literacy was assessed using the standardized\nDiabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ-24), which comprises five domains: etiology and\nsymptoms of diabetes, intermediate level of care,\ndiabetes-related complications, diet and treatment,\nand basic care. Data were analyzed using descriptive\nstatistics, the chi-square test, Student\u2019s t-test, and\none-way analysis of variance, with the level of\nstatistical significance set at p<0,05. <br><br>\n  Results. The study sample consisted of 36.1% men\nand 63.9% women, with a mean age of 55.26 years.\nParticipants demonstrated the highest level of\nknowledge in the domain of basic care (Mean = 2.90),\nwhereas the lowest level of knowledge was observed\nin the intermediate care domain (Mean = 0.87). A\nstatistically significant gender difference was\nidentified only in the domain of basic diabetes care,\nwith women achieving better results than men (p =\n0.012). No statistically significant differences in\nhealth literacy were observed according to place of\nresidence, educational level, or age (p &gt; 0.05).\nRegarding diabetes type, a significant difference was\nfound in the diet and treatment domain (p = 0.042),\nwhere participants with type 2 diabetes demonstrated\nhigher levels of knowledge. <br><br>\n  Conclusion. Participants demonstrated a satisfactory\nlevel of knowledge regarding basic diabetes care,\nwhereas deficiencies were identified in the domain of\nintermediate care. Gender and type of diabetes were\nassociated with specific aspects of health literacy,\nwhile place of residence, educational attainment, and\nage showed no significant influence. The findings\nhighlight the need for continuous and targeted\neducational interventions for individuals living with\ndiabetes.\n\n<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":884,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-887","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nursenexusjournal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nursenexusjournal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nursenexusjournal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nursenexusjournal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nursenexusjournal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=887"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/nursenexusjournal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/887\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":893,"href":"https:\/\/nursenexusjournal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/887\/revisions\/893"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nursenexusjournal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nursenexusjournal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
