Associations of changes in psychosocial factors and their interactions with diabetes distress in patients with type 2 diabetes: a longitudinal study

Abstract

Nurses could endeavour to improve the diabetes self-efficacy and resilience to reducing diabetes distress. Arbitrarily empowering patients may increase diabetes distress. Increasing self-care management behaviours and patient empowerment might need to be simultaneously addressed to reduce the diabetes distress in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The associations between diabetes distress and self-efficacy, medication adherence, self-care activities and disease control depend on the way diabetes distress is measured: Comparing the DDS-17, DDS-2 and the PAID-5

“…In agreement to a study among Taiwanese patients (8-item PAID) [40] but in contrast to non-Asian patients [4], we found higher DD levels in people who reported more days of self-care activities. This association could be bidirectional.…”

Influencing Pathways to Quality of Life and HbA1c in Patients With Diabetes: A Longitudinal Study That Inform Evidence‐Based Practice

“…This study determined that baseline social support directly affected baseline diabetes distress, which is consistent with longitudinal studies that determined baseline social support affected subsequent diabetes distress (Karlsen & Bru, ; Wang et al., ). Social support can help people cope with stressful events (Baek et al., ).…”

“…This study was a 1‐year longitudinal study and a follow‐up of a cross‐sectional study (Lee, Lee, & Moon, ). Part of the results related to this research has been reported in previous publications (Wang et al., , ). In this study, data at three time points for six monthly intervals were collected to test the hypothesized model.…”

Factors associated with subsequent diabetes‐related self‐care activities: The role of social support and optimism

“…Diabetes‐related self‐care activities are activities that include taking care of oneself, maintaining health and controlling the progression of diabetes (Wang et al, ). The recommended DRSCA for people with T2DM generally include healthy eating, medication, physical activity, blood glucose self‐monitoring and foot care (Toobert, Hampson, & Glasgow, ).…”

“…The recommended DRSCA for people with T2DM generally include healthy eating, medication, physical activity, blood glucose self‐monitoring and foot care (Toobert, Hampson, & Glasgow, ). To prevent complications, people with T2DM have to manage DRSCA daily (Wang et al, ). However, based on a systematic review, the performance of DRSCA among people with T2DM was not optimal in China (Luo et al, ) and in many other countries (Blackburn, Swidrovich, & Lemstra, ).…”
