Objective: The study was conducted to understand health-seeking behavior (HSB) of people with diabetes during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Materials and methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted at All India Institute of Diabetes and Research (AIIDR), Swasthya Diabetes Care in Ahmedabad, India. Data were collected with the help of a structured questionnaire. Response rate was 97%. One hundred thirty-eight participants who visited the hospital during the month of May 2022 were included and interviewed after obtaining informed consent.Results: Of the study participants (n = 138), 43.5% were female, while 56.5% were male. The mean age of study participants was 51.22. Out of 138 participants, 18.1% (n = 25) had type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) and 81.9% (n = 113) had type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). It was found that 55.7% faced delay in regular checkups, 39.8% used telemedicine to avoid travelling to hospital in fear of getting COVID infection, 7.8% faced delay in consuming medicines due to unavailability of medicines. Regular intake of medicines/insulin altered for 40.5% of study participants. 54.3% of our study participants felt fear while visiting the laboratory to measure their blood glucose level. Conclusions: Uncertainties created by COVID-19 pandemic have affected HSB of people with diabetes in terms of access to healthcare facilities, medicine adherence, laboratory testing, self-management habits. Knowledge shared here can help program planners to identify influencing factors and implement appropriate interventions. This understanding also helps in setting the stage for the formulation of effective diabetesrelated educational programs which might help for future pandemic. |
