Abstract
Objective: To determine the level of perceived barriers to prudent diet among adult Iranian with type 2 diabetes, and also to examine the relationship between demographic characteristics and level perceived barriers to prudent diet.
Method: In this cross-sectional survey a total of 253 patients with diagnosed type 2 diabetes completed a questionnaire concerning demographic characteristics as well as a set of questions, of the Farsi translated version of Barriers to Diet Self-care Scale (BDSS).
Results: The overall mean score of Barriers to Diet Self-care Scale (BDSS) was significantly more in men than women (P <0.01). As duration of diabetes increased, the BDSS also increased (P <0.01).
Conclusion: This study showed that barriers to diet-self care are more in Iranian male than females. Longitudinal studies are needed to assess the relationship between barriers to diet self-care and family, social and cultural supports.
KEY WORDS: Diet self care, Type-2 Diabetes, Barriers.
