Similarly, patients with previous medical history of diabetes
mellitus were more likely to arrive at the hospital with a delay of
more than 2 h.
This finding is in line with findings fromprevious
studies (Dracup &Moser 1997; Gibler et al. 2002; Goldberg et al.
2000; Ting et al. 2008). Diabetic neuropathy has been blamed for
the delay of patients with diabetes mellitus, as it eliminates the
feeling of pain.
On the other hand, we could claim that diabetics
would be more alert on early symptom recognition because of
the higher incidence of an acute coronary syndrome, such as
AMI, among these patients.
Nevertheless, the delayed hospital
arrival of diabetic patients possibly indicates the significant
knowledge deficit and the problematic self-care behaviour of
these patients.
