dc.description.abstractDiabetes mellitus is one of the worldwide major public health concerns which associated with increased morbidity, mortality, health care utilization and costs. Between 1986 and 1990, the prevalence of diabetes in Yemen was about 4.7%. In 2004 the prevalence of diabetes type II in Yemen was reported at 4.6% which was higher in man (7.4%) compared to female (2%). This study was conducted in Mukalla city, Hadramout, Yemen to assess the impact of continuing education (CE) program on Health Care Professionals (HCPs) knowledge, attitude and practice in Yemen. In addition, the study explores whether HCPs CE intervention would improve the clinical outcomes of type 2 diabetes patients (glycemic control, blood pressure, weight, lipid profiles, serum creatinine and blood urea). This study consisted of two phases. Phase I of the study was looking at the impact of diabetes CE on knowledge, attitude and practice of diabetes care among HCPs. In the phase II, the study was exploring the effect of HCPs continuing education programme on patient diabetic’s outcome. In phase I, a total of 73 HCPs received continuing education (CE) intervention. Knowledge attitude and practice (KAP) was assessed using a validated questionnaire. The result from phase I showed that majority of the HCPs has a good general knowledge on diabetes and its managements prior to the CE program. Evaluation of the general knowledge score of the HCPs found some improvement in the knowledge score, however the improvement was not significant (p=0.31). The result of this study found that HCPs has good knowledge on monitoring the sign, symptoms and laboratory parameters. Evaluation of the knowledge score on Goal of Diabetes Management of HCPs found significant (p=0.024) improvement in the knowledge score.en_US
