“…Therefore, the motivation of taking care of him/herself is stronger, which could impact measures such as adherence. Other measures, such as organizational religiosity, could be motivated by both internal and external factors (social acceptance, security, status and advancement) and the latter could be related to prejudice as well …”

“…Hence, a person with high conscientiousness tend to find stressful situations to be less demanding as respectively. Several studies have suggested that spirituality and religiosity are protective factors against depression, particularly in the elderly [36][37][38]. In our sample, 79% of participants within the elderly age group (age of > 60 years old) reported having a strong religious practice.…”

Background: Depression and anxiety are common psychiatric complications affecting patients with diabetes mellitus. However, data on the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and associated factors among Malaysian diabetic patients is scarce. The Anxiety, Depression, and Personality Traits in Diabetes Mellitus (ADAPT-DM) study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression and anxiety, and their associated factors in the Malaysian diabetic population. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 300 diabetic patients via convenience sampling from the Endocrine outpatient clinic of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre, a tertiary referral healthcare facility in Kuala Lumpur. Socio-demographic characteristics and clinical history were obtained from each participant. The Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) was administered to assess anxiety symptoms, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to assess depressive symptoms, the Big Five Inventory (BFI) to evaluate personality traits, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) to measure quality of life (QOL). Stepwise multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the association between various factors, and depression and anxiety. Results: The prevalence of depression was 20% (n = 60) while anxiety was 9% (n = 27). Co-morbid depression (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 9.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.63- 37.14, p = 0.001) and neuroticism (adjusted OR = 11.66, 95% CI= 2.69-50.47, p = 0.001) increased the odds of developing anxiety, while conscientiousness (adjusted OR = 0.45, 95% CI= 0.23-0.80, p = 0.004) and greater psychological-related QOL (adjusted OR = 0.47, 95% CI= 0.29-0.75, p = 0.002) were protective. Co-morbid anxiety (adjusted OR = 19.83, 95% CI = 5.63- 69.92, p < 0.001) increased the odds of depression, while older age (adjusted OR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.93–0.98, p = 0.002), social relationship-related QOL (adjusted OR= 0.84, 95% CI = 0.71- .0.99, p= 0.047), and physical health-related QOL (adjusted OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.58-0.83, p < 0.001) were protective. Conclusions: The study findings signify the need to screen for co-morbid depression and anxiety, as well as personality traits and QOL, and to include psychosocial interventions when planning a multidisciplinary approach to managing diabetes.

Co-morbid depression (adjusted OR = 24.91, 95% CI = 5.67–109.42, p < 0.001), neuroticism (adjusted OR = 9.24, 95% CI = 2.03–42.03, p = 0.004), and greater physical health-related QOL (adjusted OR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.07–2.59, p = 0.024) increased the odds of developing anxiety, while psychological QOL (adjusted OR = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.21–0.79, p = 0.008) was protective. Co-morbid anxiety (adjusted OR = 20.06, 95% CI = 4.70–85.57, p < 0.001) increased the odds of depression, while older age (adjusted OR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.92–0.99, p = 0.012), regular religious practice (adjusted OR= 0.08, 95% CI= 0.01-0.56, p= 0.011) and physical health-related QOL (adjusted OR = 0.72, 95% CI = 0.59–0.89, p = 0.002) were protective. Conclusions The study findings signify the need to screen for co-morbid depression and anxiety, as well as personality traits and QOL, and to include psychosocial interventions when planning a multidisciplinary approach to managing diabetes.
