Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To explore the current status and latent profiles of blood glucose monitoring barriers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus（T2DM），and analyze the influencing factors of different profiles，so as to provide a basis for formulating targeted intervention measures. Methods A convenience sample of 305 patients with T2DM attending the endocrinology outpatient clinic or the ward of a tertiary hospital in Shantou from September to October 2025 were recruited. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire，the Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose Barriers Scale，the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale，the Patient Health Questionnaire，the General Self-Efficacy Scale，the Perceived Social Support Scale，and the Diabetes Self-Management Scale. Latent profile analysis and multivariable logistic regression were performed for statistical analysis. Results A total of 301 valid questionnaires were obtained. The mean score of blood glucose monitoring barriers was（54.18±21.05） points. A total of 3 latent profiles were identified：low-barrier-autonomy/support type（21.26%），moderate-bar-rier-cognitive deficit type（40.86%），and high-barrier-multidimensional type（37.87%）. Comorbidities，complications，duration of diabetes，prior education on blood glucose monitoring，availability of monitoring devices，anxiety，perceived social support，and diabetes self-management level were significantly associated with profile membership（P<0.05）. Conclusion Blood glucose monitoring barriers among patients with T2DM exhibit marked heteroge-neity. Healthcare providers should assess patients’ barrier profiles and implement tailored interventions to improve adherence to self-monitoring of blood glucose.

摘要：

目的探讨2型糖尿病患者血糖监测障碍现状及潜在剖面，并分析不同剖面的影响因素，为制订针对性干预措施提供依据。方法便利选取2025年9—10月在汕头市某三级甲等医院内分泌科门诊或住院诊治的305例2型糖尿病患者作为调查对象，采用一般资料调查表、糖尿病患者自我血糖监测障碍量表、广泛性焦虑量表、患者健康问卷抑郁症状量表、一般自我效能感量表、领悟社会支持量表及糖尿病自我管理量表进行调查。采用潜在剖面分析和多元Logistic回归进行统计分析。结果回收有效问卷301份。患者自我血糖监测障碍得分为（54.18±21.05）分，可分为3个类别：低障碍-自主支持型（21.26%）、中等障碍-认知不足型（40.86%）和高障碍-多维障碍型（37.87%）。合并症、并发症、糖尿病病程、接受过血糖监测健康教育、拥有血糖监测工具、焦虑、领悟社会支持、糖尿病自我管理水平是不同潜在剖面的影响因素（P<0.05）。结论 2型糖尿病患者的血糖监测障碍存在明显异质性，医护人员应关注患者的血糖监测障碍状况，并根据不同剖面的患者制订个性化干预措施，以提高患者自我血糖监测依从性。
