| Abstract | Background and Aims: The self-management behavior of patients with diabetes involves a complex set of actions involving medication therapy, lifestyle changes, and management of complications in the daily routine. Our study aims to explore adherence to self-management behaviors by patients with type 2 diabetes and the potential factors influencing those behaviors. Methods: This qualitative study used semi-structured interviews conducted with patients who have type 2 diabetes and who were recruited from the department of endocrinology in a tertiary teaching hospital. Data were analyzed thematically using the interview framework. Results: Overall, 28 patients with type 2 diabetes were recruited and interviewed. Three types of medication noncompliance behaviors were coded. In particular, blindly optimistic attitudes toward the condition in younger patients who had a short duration of diabetes and fear of or pain from medication therapy were key influencing factors. Irregular monitoring and missed follow-up visits were the most frequently mentioned noncompliance behaviors. Poor understanding of blood glucose monitoring, selective ignorance due to pressure of uncontrolled blood glucose, and blindly optimistic attitudes were also identified as key influencing factors. Dietary behaviors were characterized by an overemphasis on the amount of food in the diet and the preference or declination for particular types of food; ignorance of the dietary structure was present. Misconceptions about dietary and exercise practices were the main types of lifestyles’ noncompliance. Conclusion: Our study showed the complex picture of noncompliance with self-management behaviors by patients with type 2 diabetes. Noncompliance covered disordered and arbitrary changes in medication therapy, blood glucose monitoring with poorest adherence, lifestyle modifications and complication management. The study findings identify clear challenges to self-management behavior and identify potential key influencing factors. Future interventions and strategies should aim to help patients translate healthcare provider’s information and instructions into action that improve compliance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
