Objective: One of the most important complications in patients with type 2 diabetes is the fear of hypoglycemia (FOH). Spiritual health as the last dimension of health can affect the complications caused by the disease. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between FOH and spiritual well-being (SWB) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Materials and methods: This study is a cross-sectional descriptive study of correlation type. 380 patients with type 2 diabetes were included in the study with convenience sampling. Two questionnaires of FOH (HSF-II) and Palutzian & Ellison SWB were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using R software version 4.0.4. In the analysis, Pearson's correlation coefficient and simple and multivariable linear regression were used. Results: A total of 380 patients with type 2 diabetes were included in this study. The mean and standard deviation of the age and diabetes duration of participants were 56.89 ± 11.42 and 11.7 ± 15.55 years, respectively. Most of the participants were women 244 (64.2%). The mean score of SWB and FOH in patients were 89.55 ± ± 14.32 and 13.34 ± 16.12, respectively. There was also a positive and significant relationship between SWB and FOH using Pearson correlation coefficient (p = 0.001). Conclusions: According to the results, with increasing the score of FOH, the score of SWB also increased. Although increasing SWB has no effect on reducing the FOH, it is a unique energy that relates to the physical, mental, and social dimensions of humans. (Clin Diabetol 2023; 12; 2: 87-94
Background: Organizational culture can affect the levels of entrepreneurship and innovation through identifying the social capital dimensions and enhance the ability of staff to accept challenges. This study aimed to examine the impact of organizational culture on entrepreneurial behavior with the mediating role of social capital among the staff working in Qazvin University of Medical Sciences. Methods: This was an cross-sectional analytical study conducted among the staff of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences in 2020. Sample size was calculated by Cochran formula considering type I error and the accuracy of 5 % and was equal to 122 individuals. Addressing sample attrition, the final size considered to be 143 people by calculating 15 % increase. The standard questionnaires of entrepreneurial behavior were applied to collect the data. Descriptive statistical tests were used in order to analyze the data; moreover, correlation coefficients were applied to examine the relationship between the main variables of the study. Furthermore, the Structural Equation Analysis (SEM) test was used by LISREL and SPSS software to test the research hypotheses. Results: The estimated coefficient reported for the relationship between organizational culture and entrepreneurial behavior was 23 %; while it was reported to be 12 % for the relationship between social capital and behavior. Furthermore, the hypothesis that social capital mediates the relationship between organizational culture and entrepreneurial behavior was confirmed (T statistic = 3.310, Std. Error = 0.110, P-value < 0.001 ). Conclusion: The results of the present study necessitate further attention to university environments and higher education institutions for creating an entrepreneurship culture by establishing a flexible structure with participatory and supportive management in order to empower human resources and encourage them to promote social capital. Holding discussion sessions with staff and using their pure ideas and avoiding the implementation of strict regulations in addition to creating a participatory atmosphere can play important role in this regard.
