The attitude "caring for the child" was reported in 1118 (74.0%) households and was significantly different among school affiliations.
Among the qualities highlighted were skills, experience, motivation, energy, flexibility, creativity, commitment, open-mindedness, a positive attitude, caring, and amenable to change.
We found that the attitudes "caring for children", "taking leave from work", and "permitting out-of-home activities" were associated with various household background factors.
They contain questions about the doctor's professional performance and attitudes, care settings and consultation outcomes.
Moreover, for HCPs, results show clearly that the majority agreed that the PDQ had enhanced their attitude, care, respect, empathy, connectedness and satisfaction in caring for the patient.
Mean scores between the two groups about patients' attitudes toward diabetes, including positive attitude, negative attitude, care ability, importance of care, and self-care adherence, are shown in Fig. 1 E – J.
Items under the subscales of positive attitude, care ability, importance of care, and self-care adherence scoring ≥4 points and items of negative attitude scoring ≤2 points were designated as good performance, whereas the opposites were poor.
For subscales of positive attitude, care ability, importance of care, and self-care adherence, significantly higher mean baseline scores were found in the remission group, whereas the nonremission group had more points for negative attitude.
This indicated that higher scores for positive attitude, care ability, importance of care, and self-care adherence and lower scores for negative attitude were associated with lower HbA1c levels (Table 2).
When compared with baseline, gradually decreasing trends were found in positive attitude, care ability, importance of care, and self-care adherence in the nonremission group, whereas these were stable or even improved in the remission group.
In addition to this result, the attitude of caring for children by parents was associated with family structure.
