Background: Searching for health information and gaining knowledge plays an important role in the management of chronic diseases such as diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of information resources in self-management of diabetes in diabetic patients referred to health centers in Jahrom.
Methods: This study is a descriptive-analytical study that was performed on 393 patients with diabetes in Jahrom city and covered villages in 2018. Data collection tools included a form of personal information, a questionnaire based on the role of information sources in improving the disease of patients with diabetes, and information was collected through it and the results were statistically analyzed by spss24 software.
Results: The highest age range of the participants in this study was 45 to 60 years old (40.7%) and 67.9% of the patient population were women. 68.1% of patients with diabetes had information about their disease after infection. Most of their sources of information included physicians, family and friends, and other patients and the mass media, respectively. The most important reasons for not obtaining information in 31.9% of other patients were difficulty and lack of access to information resources.
