Aims: This study aimed to measure the knowledge level and information needs of patients with diabetes in Yogyakarta City, Indonesia.
Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 155 patients with diabetes who filled out a questionnaire consisting of three sections, including a demographic information chalkiest, the 24-item version of the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire, and the researcher-made Diabetes Mellitus Information Questionnaire. Sixteen pharmacists were voluntarily recruited to complete a survey that included demographic data and open-ended questions related to pharmacy services in their workplaces. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 22.
Findings: No correlation was found between knowledge level and factors, such as age, gender, occupation, income, education, medications, comorbidities, or blood sugar levels. However, a significant link was identified between the duration of diabetes and knowledge level. While pharmacists provide education and counseling, most repowered no specialized training, which limited education to new patients and those with uncontrolled blood sugar levels. Challenges for pharmacists included limited time, lack of dedicated space, and the absence of standardized documentation.
Conclusion: DM patients in Yogyakarta City have a moderate level of knowledge.
