Concept Analysis of Self Perceived Knowledge

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have indicated very distinct scores for educational effectiveness in type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, attainment of therapeutic targets after educational programs has been poorly evaluated. Evaluating the effectiveness of structured and individualised educational programs for type 2 diabetes, provided by primary care nurses, requires educational assistance and family support to achieve metabolic control as well as long-term therapeutic targets. Knowledge or cognitive constitutes an important domain in the formation of a person’s actions that derive from the five senses. Based on the results of experience and research, it is found that knowledge-based behaviour will act faster than those who are less knowledgeable. Objective: To analyse the concept of self-perceived knowledge as the initial step in developing nursing theory. Results: Self-perception: an act or ability to perceive or understand by the senses or minds; cognition; understanding. The concept of self-perception was selected because the definition is closely similar to self-perceived knowledge. Self-perceived knowledge is different from actual or objective knowledge.
