“…First, the assessment of coping profiles was based on the BSCP, which includes just 18 items, and was developed for Japanese workers and not for people with chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes. Several studies have tested different dimensions [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][31][32][33][34][35][36] . Even for three dimensions, the detailed factors have not yet been integrated.…”

“…We have shown that: (i) task-oriented coping (problem-focused coping); (ii) emotion-oriented coping (adaptive emotion-focused coping); and (iii) avoidance-oriented coping (maladaptive emotion-focused coping) dimensions are useful based on our clinical experience and previous Japanese research 37 . In addition, there are several questionnaires that have a validated Japanese version, such as the BSCP and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations-2nd Edition 34,35 , both of which include the three dimensions mentioned above. Because the BSCP was developed in Japan, it was available in Japan, whereas the Japanese version of the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations-2nd Edition has only recently been validated 38 .…”

Aims/Objectives Glycemic control varies according to stress level and the efficacy of control measures, affecting the outcomes of diabetes. Although detailed coping styles have not been well studied in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, problem‐focused coping strategies are believed to be related to better control of blood glucose. Associations between coping profiles/dimensions and blood glucose control were examined in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods The participants included 503 Japanese patients (mean age 63.9 ± 12.6 years) with type 2 diabetes. The average glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were calculated from HbA1c levels measured more than four times within the 12 months before the assessment. Coping profiles were assessed using the Brief Scale for Coping Profile. Lifestyle factors were also included in the analyses. Results Factors other than age were not associated with HbA1c levels in patients who used insulin. Conversely, habitual alcohol consumption, single status, the adaptive emotion‐focused coping dimension, and changing mood and changing one’s point of view profiles were associated with HbA1c levels. Conclusions These findings suggest that adaptive emotion‐focused coping supports glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients who do not use insulin. Additional studies using a longitudinal design are required to further examine the relationships between psychological factors and glycemic control.

“…[ 25 ] in reviewing degrees of acceptance in selected chronic diseases, there is a relationship between the level of acceptance of illness among women and men, to the detriment of women. The dependence between the degree of acceptance of a chronic illness and age was also analysed by other authors [ 29 , 30 ]. According to them, this interdependence is determined by the fact that, with age, other ailments escalate, such as degenerative changes in joints, neurological disorders, and motor skill deterioration, even with financial limitations.…”

ObjectivesType 2 diabetes exerts a significant impact on the patient’s quality of life. Its chronic nature, incurability and complications weaken the motivation of patients to fight the disease and its acceptance. The aim of research was to determine whether and to what extent diabetes modulates the quality of life of patients and in particular which domain of the patient’s life is most limited. In addition, we looked at whether the quality of life perceived by patients is determined by gender and whether and to what extent they accept their illness.Material and methodsA study on 100 patients with type 2 diabetes from the Wielkopolska region in Poland was carried out at the end of 2013/beginning of 2014 using a diagnostic survey, and the research techniques were a standardized questionnaire – ADDQoL19 (Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life 19) and the AIS questionnaire (Acceptance of Illness Scale) developed by Felton and modified by Juczyński.ResultsThe results suggest that the quality of life of the patients was “neither good nor bad”, whereby women perceive it as being lower than men. While analysing the impact of diabetes on the different domains of the lives of men and women, it should be stressed that most affected were diet, satisfying appetite, independence, financial position, feelings about the future, sex life, and freedom in the consumption of drinks. More than half of men and women did not accept their illness; however, younger persons unlike older accepted diabetes to a much greater degree.ConclusionsType 2 diabetes negatively affects the quality of life of patients and its impact is felt more by women. In both sexes, the most affected domain of quality of life is the lack of nutritional freedom. The acceptance of illness is dependent upon age.

“…Compared to the participants’ answers at Week 1 (no 5-ALA), 15 mg and 50 mg of 5-ALA after 12 weeks significantly improved coping ability by 1.5 and 3.2 times, respectively. Diabetes is a stressful, incurable disease that is associated with a higher incidence of depression and anxiety [ 22 ]. For prediabetic adults, the ability to cope with the threat of developing diabetes is important to minimize stress so they can focus on changing their lifestyle.…”

The Relationship of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid on Mood and Coping Ability in Prediabetic Middle Aged and Older Adults

et al. 2018

In 2010, approximately 79 million Americans had prediabetes and about 50 percent of those individuals were 65 years and older. The most effective diabetes prevention method in prediabetic adults is lifestyle modification. However, despite the benefits of lifestyle change, diabetes prevalence continues to increase. Maintaining a regular exercise routine and a healthy eating plan may be difficult because of the negative emotional barriers (i.e., stress, mood) that a prediabetic individual faces. This is particularly evident in older individuals when you combine that with decreases in mobility and geriatric syndromes. A potential treatment for these emotional barriers is a natural supplement called 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA). In the current study, the group included 154 participants, both men and women, ranging between the ages of 41 to 71 years old. The study design was a double-blind, randomized parallel-group study. The Psychosocial Depressive Symptoms Questionnaire (PDS) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were used to examine the effect of two doses of 5-ALA (15 mg and 50 mg) on various components of mood (i.e., hopefulness, loneliness, and motivation) and coping ability. Using SAS software, an ordered logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between the dose groups (control, 15 mg, and 50 mg) and the responses to the two questionnaires, the PDS and PSS, used in this study. An integrative literature review, using the PubMed database, searched for studies on the relationship between 5-ALA administration and mood and coping ability. Our literature review resulted in zero published articles. Next, we found that the intake of 5-ALA was significantly associated with improved coping ability (p = 0.004) and improved self-perception of effort spent (p = 0.002). Finally, we found a significant dose-dependent relationship for the association of 5-ALA intake on measures of effort (p = 0.003), loneliness (p = 0.006), and coping ability (p = 0.003). The 50 mg dose was more effective than the 15 mg dose in improving these measures. In conclusion, after 12 weeks of taking 5-ALA, we found significant improvements in self-perception of effort spent, loneliness, and coping ability in prediabetic middle age and older adults. Improved mood and coping ability may allow prediabetic individuals to overcome the emotional obstacles preventing them from maintaining a healthy lifestyle and ultimately, help them to avoid the development of diabetes.
