AB  - BACKGROUND: Most diabetic patients suffer from chronic diseases affecting their 
      self-management status. This study aims to explore the relationship between the 
      CoC and the self-management of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and 
      analyze the predictive factors affecting their self-management. METHODS: 
      Structured questionnaires were used for data collection. Convenient sampling was 
      adopted to recruit inpatients diagnosed with T2DM in the endocrine ward of a 
      medical hospital in central Taiwan. RESULTS: A total of 160 patients were 
      recruited. The average age of the patients is 66.60 +/- 14.57 years old. Among the 
      four dimensions of the self-management scale, the average score of the 
      problem-solving dimension was the highest, and that of the self-monitoring of 
      blood glucose was the lowest. The analysis results showed that the overall 
      regression model could explain 20.7% of the total variance in self-management. 
      CONCLUSIONS: Healthcare providers should attach importance to the CoC of T2DM 
      patients and encourage patients to maintain good interaction with healthcare 
      providers during their hospitalization. It is recommended to strengthen CoC for 
      patients with diabetes who are single or with low educational levels in clinical 
      practice to enhance their blood glucose control and improve diabetes 
      self-management.
