AB  - OBJECTIVES: To investigate the frequency and factors associated with inadequate 
      self-care behaviors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: A 
      cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 355 patients with T2DM, using 
      multistage cluster sampling, attending the Najran University Hospital and Primary 
      health care centres in Najran, Saudi Arabia, from January to May 2019. The 
      assessment of self-care behaviors was conducted using the 16-item diabetes 
      self-management questionnaire (DSMQ). Results: The majority (85.1%) of the 
      patients with T2DM were uncontrolled, 42% were obese, and 5.9% were morbidly 
      obese. Based on DSMQ criteria, the majority of patients (90.1%) had poor 
      self-care behaviors. The mean sum of DSMQ was 5.04 out of 10. Among the DSMQ 
      subscales, health care use had the highest mean score of 5.63, followed by 
      glucose management with a score of 5.12, while dietary control had lower mean 
      scores of 4.96 and physical activity had 4.46, all were inadequate. Being married 
      (OR=2.178, p=0.035) and having DM for more than 5 years (OR=2.711, p less 
      than 0.006) were the significant independent factors associated with poor 
      self-care behavior. CONCLUSION: Inadequate self-care behavior is widely prevalent 
      in Najran city, Saudi Arabia. All the DSMQ subscales were poorly managed by most 
      of the diabetic patients. Furthermore, being married and having a longer DM 
      duration are the significant independent factors associated with poor self-care 
      behaviors.
