Patients were compared using t tests for continuous data and chi\u2010square tests for categorical data.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The rate of adherence to DEE (as defined by DEE <jats:italic>within a year<\/jats:italic>) was 62.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 55.0<jats:italic>%<\/jats:italic>\u201369.8<jats:italic>%<\/jats:italic>). The mean age of the patients was 56.81 (\u00b113.29) years. We found that the mean benefit score was significantly higher, and the mean barrier score was significantly lower in those adhering to DEE (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001); but the susceptibility, severity, and self\u2010efficacy scores were not significantly different. Furthermore, those under treatment for diabetes mellitus (DM), those with diabetic retinopathy (DR) in them or their family member, and those with DM duration of 1 year or less were significantly likely to adhere to DEE (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.005). Additionally, those who had received advice for eye screening from their physicians were about 25 times more likely to adhere to DEE (95% CI\u2009=6.80\u201392.05) than those who were not advised.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> A larger proportion of people with diabetes did not adhere to periodic DEE. Benefits and barriers were found to be determinants in this population. Further exploration in a larger population and the use of HBM to increase adherence to periodic DEE can be tested by targeting behavioral counseling along with other traditional approaches.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2024\/3231341","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,30]],"date-time":"2024-07-30T15:14:31Z","timestamp":1722352471000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Adherence to Periodic Dilated Eye Examinations and Its Determinants Among Nepalese Patients With Diagnosed Diabetes: A Single\u2010Center Hospital\u2010Based Analysis Using Health Belief Model"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2024","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1548-3469","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Barsha","family":"Suwal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0703-4655","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rajan","family":"Shrestha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9727-9877","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bijay","family":"Khatri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9154-0413","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Madan Prasad","family":"Upadhyay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjophthalmol-2017-311258"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2021.04.027"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_2","volume-title":"The epidemiology of blindness in Nepal.
