Diabetes knowledge and behaviour: a cross-sectional study of Jordanian adults
This study highlights the importance of demographic and clinical factors in the context of diabetes knowledge and behaviours, underscoring the need for targeted educational and preventive programmes to improve diabetes management, especially in vulnerable populations. Additionally, the strong association between diabetes knowledge and management behaviours supports a knowledge-attitude-behaviour (KAB) model of diabetes management.
