“…Consistent with previous research, the duration of diabetes, the presence of complications of diabetes [3,5,12] and marital status [5,7,13] significantly affected the HR-QOL of people with diabetes. Presence of complications was the most influential variable affecting the HRQOL in this study, especially the domain of physical health.…”

“…Raw scores on 4 domains were calculated by adding the values of single items and transformed on a scale ranging from 0-100, where 100 is the highest and 0 is the lowest HRQOL [17]. In order to allow meaningful interpretations of the final scores for the total scale and for subscales, the researchers reviewed studies that have used the WHOQOL-BREF to assess HRQOL within diabetes populations [3,7,18,19]. The following values of scores were extracted from the reviewed studies and were applied in the current study: score ≤ 45, poor or bad HRQOL; score < 45-65, moderate HRQOL; and score > 65, relatively high HRQOL.…”

“…The burdens associated with diabetes, such as anxiety, regimented lifestyle and long-term complications have prompted researchers and clinicians to examine the impact of the disease on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of people with diabetes. Several studies have demonstrated that diabetes has a negative influence on the overall HRQOL and its domains of physical, psychological and social relationships and environment [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

This study aimed to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of Emirati people with diabetes and to explore the sociodemographic and disease-related variables affecting it. The Arabic version of the World Health Organization quality of life questionnaire, short version (WHOQOL-BREF) was administered to 200 people with diabetes. The overall mean score was 63.1 (SD 15.0), ranging from 61.5 to 65.5 on subscales. Three factors significantly influenced the total HRQOL: presence of diabetes complications, duration of diabetes and marital status. Presence of complications was the most powerful variable influencing the 4 domains of HRQOL, especially the physical domain. Duration of diabetes did not influence the psychological domain and marital status did not influence the physical and psychological domains. The study provides further evidence of the usefulness and reliability of the Arabic WHOQOL-BREF. RÉSUMÉ La présente étude visait à évaluer la qualité de vie liée à la santé des ressortissants des Émirats arabes unis souffrant de diabète et à rechercher les variables sociodémographiques et liées à la morbidité qui ont une influence en la matière. La version en langue arabe du questionnaire sur la qualité de vie de l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé, dans sa version abrégée (WHOQOL-BREF) a été administrée à 200 personnes atteintes de diabète. Le score global moyen était 63,1 (E.T. 15,0), et était compris entre 61,5 à 65,5 pour les sous-échelles. Trois facteurs ont nettement influé le score total au questionnaire : la présence de complications dues au diabète, la durée de la pathologie et la situation matrimoniale. La présence de complications était la variable la plus puissante ayant des répercussions sur les quatre domaines du questionnaire, en particulier le domaine physique. La durée du diabète n'avait pas de conséquence sur le domaine psychologique et la situation matrimoniale n'avait pas d'effet sur les domaines physiques et psychologiques. L'étude a confirmé l'utilité et la fiabilité de la version en langue arabe du questionnaire WHOQOL-BREF.

“…These complications can lead to severe adverse effects including a high financial burden, physical disability, depression, low quality of life and high mortality (Abdelgadir et al, 2008;Stockl et al, 2004). Since effective long term treatment of DFU is difficult, costly and time consuming and since ulcers often reoccur even after healing (Ghanassia et al, 2008;Ragnarson-Tennvall and Apelqvist, 2004), their prevention is very important.…”

Diabetic Foot Care Behaviors (DFCB) is the fundamental component of diabetic foot complications prevention. Many diabetic patients, however, did not perform foot care properly. Furthermore, SelfManagement (SM) support program was noted as effective approach improving diabetes patients' behaviors. Unfortunately, there have been no studies published applied this approach to improve DFCB in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a self-management support program in improving DFCB in patients with diabetes mellitus in West Java, Indonesia. Quasi-experimental study was conducted with seventy subjects who randomly assigned either to an experimental (n = 35) or a control group (n = 35). The subjects in the experimental group received a five-week diabetic foot care SM support program. The subjects in the control group received standard care. Their DFCB was evaluated in the fifth week of intervention using a DFCB Questionnaire. The results showed that the DFCB in the experimental group was significantly higher (M = 67.43, SD = 5.83) than that in the control group (M = 52.60, SD = 8.6) (p<0.001). The result indicates that a five-week SM program effectively enhanced DFCB. Thus, nurses are recommended to apply this program in improving DFCB in order to prevent diabetic foot ulcers or other foot complications.
