“…Depression is a common mental disorder among diabetics, it could be due to the bidirectional relationship between depression and type 2 DM [5]. The prevalence of depression in this study is lower than that reported in Pakistan 43.5% and China 56.1% [18,19] [20,21]. This is due to differences in depression assessment method.…”

“…ZSRS is a self-report screening tool for depression, though it has good psychometric properties [11,12] there may be a risk of misclassification, accounting for the higher prevalence of depression [22,23]. In contrast, 0standardized diagnostic interviews (gold standard) were used by Agbir and Ibrahim [20,21]. The high prevalence of depression in this study could also be because, almost half of the respondents had uncontrolled blood glucose.…”

Aims: To assess the level of social support and determine the relationship between depression and social support among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Study Design: This study was a cross-sectional survey. Place and duration of Study: The study was carried out at the Medical Out Patients (MOP) clinic of Jericho Specialist Hospital, Ibadan between 1st of August and 30th of September 2017. Methodology: Systematic sampling technique was used to recruit 273 type 2DM patients who were 40 years and above, receiving care at the MOP clinic for at least 3months. Diabetes-related information was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. Zung self-rating scale and multidimensional perceived social support scale were used to assess depression and social support respectively. Independent t-test was used to determine the relationship between depression and social support and the level of significance was set at p<.05. Results: Half (50.5%) of the respondents were diagnosed in the past 5 years as having type 2 DM, 79.5% had hypertension as a co-morbidity and 51.6% had good glycaemic control. The prevalence of depression was 27.5%, mild and moderate depression were 26.4% and 1.1% respectively and none had severe depression. One hundred and two (37.4%),56.0% and 6.6% respondents had high, moderate and low social support respectively. The highest social support scores 5.9 + 1.7 was from family. Total perceived social support was higher among non-depressed diabetic respondents. There was a significant difference between the mean total support in the depressed and non-depressed group (4.88 ± 1.41 vs 4.50 ± 1.24, p = .03). Conclusion: Type 2 DM patients who had high social support were less depressed, therefore, clinicians managing DM patients should explore the social support enjoyed by such patients to achieve good health outcome.

Result: A total of 416 patients were included in this studied. Based on PHQ-9, self-reported depression symptom was 29.3% [95% CI 25.2, 33.4]. In the performed statistical evaluation, patients whose age was between 45 and 54 years old (AOR = 3.88; 95% CI 1.36, 11.08); being female (AOR = 2.43; 95% CI 1.29, 4.58); who has poor social support (AOR = 6.08; 95% CI 2.98, 12.40); and who has high fear of kidney problems secondary to DM (AOR = 6.12; 95% CI 1.75, 21.23) were statistically associated with depressive symptoms in diabetes patients. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that complication fears, social support, being female and sexual dysfunction were found significantly associated with co-morbid depression in diabetes.

“…8 In diabetic patients, depression has been shown to have adverse effects on social, physical functioning, and quality of life (QoL) that are independent of the effects of the medical illness. 9 Regarding association between depression and types of diabetes, Raval et al 10 concluded an approximately 2-5% increase in the prevalence rates of depression in people with diabetes in South Asian settings compared with people without diabetes. A research by Egede et al 11 established that depressive symptoms and major depressive disorders constitute a common co-morbid problem among Dutch outpatients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.…”
