Neutrosophic Analysis of the Educational Orientation to the Diabetic Patient that reflects its impact on the Quality of Life

Abstract

This investigation is founded on the premise of the need to carry out a neutrosophic analysis of the educational orientation of the diabetic patient, which shows its impact on quality of life. To deal with the subject, it relies on an educational guide. We used a questionnaire consisting of seven questions to investigate the state of knowledge on diabetes in a sample of 210 diabetic patients. We defined a scale, where patients can answer in the form of intervals, such that we obtain as accurately as possible the patients’ opinions. We processed the data utilizing Neutrosophic Statistics, which extends statistical methods to the interval-valued domain. The improvement after the patients passed the educational orientation is statistically significant.
