Abstract
BACKGROUND Self-care in people with diabetes is poor, which could be influenced by positive and negative psychosocial factors. Self-efficacy is an important factor affecting self-care, and depressive symptoms and diabetes distress may directly and indirectly affect self-efficacy. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the relationships of depressive symptoms, diabetes distress, age, sex, self-compassion, resilience, self-esteem, and social support to diabetes self-efficacy and the mediating roles of diabetes distress and depressive symptoms in the relationships among people with diabetes. METHODS In this cross-sectional, correlational study, data on all the psychosocial and demographic factors were collected (N = 148; 57.6 years old) through Research Electronic Data Capture in 2023. The PROCESS macro for SPSS was used to address the purpose. RESULTS The mean score of diabetes self-efficacy was 28.6 (range, 8-40). In 1 model, depressive symptoms were directly and indirectly associated with diabetes self-efficacy through diabetes distress (direct effect, -3.524; t = -3.020, P = .003; indirect effect, -2.089; 95% bootstrap confidence interval, -3.494 to -0.911). In another model, diabetes distress was directly and indirectly associated with diabetes self-efficacy through depressive symptoms (direct effect, -3.778; t = -3.638, P < .001; indirect effect, -0.785; 95% bootstrap confidence interval, -1.868 to -0.089). In addition, self-esteem was associated with both depressive symptoms and diabetes distress. Resilience was associated with diabetes self-efficacy in 1 model. CONCLUSIONS Negative psychological factors were directly and indirectly associated with diabetes self-efficacy. Depressive symptoms, diabetes distress, self-esteem, and resilience can be important targets of interventions to improve diabetes self-efficacy.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine if greater perceived social support was directly associated with better Type 2 diabetes (T2D) treatment adherence and if better T2D treatment adherence was related to lower HbA1c levels in Chilean adults with T2D. For this purpose, 200 adults were recruited from the Chilean Diabetic Association. Participants were asked to complete self-report instruments and provide a capillary blood sample to measure HbA1c. Structural equation model analyses were performed to determine direct associations. The study's results indicate that greater perceived social support was associated with healthier dietary habits, regular foot care, more frequent physical activity, and lower medication intake. Likewise, blood sugar testing and physical activity were related to HbA1c. These findings provide evidence of how perceived social support relates to T2D treatment adherence behaviors in Latino patients from South America and could be used for interventions to enhance social support from patients' families, partners, and friends.

Abstract
PURPOSE Delay discounting and aversion are important areas for diabetes management; however, little has been done to understand the relationship with psychosocial outcomes among adults with type 2 diabetes. METHODS This study used data from 365 adults with type 2 diabetes to evaluate relationships between delay discounting and aversion and psychosocial outcomes. Delay discounting and aversion were measured with the validated Quick Delay Questionnaire. Psychosocial outcomes included depression, measured by the PHQ, anxiety by the GAD scale, perceived stress by the PSS, and social support by the Duke Social Support and Stress Scale. Multiple linear regression was used to assess the relationship between delay discounting and aversion on psychological health and social support controlling for relevant covariates. RESULTS Mean age of the sample was 61.8 years, 54.5 % were NHB, 41.8 % NHW, and 3.7 % Hispanic/Other. After adjusting for covariates, delay aversion was significantly associated with depression (beta = 0.35; p < 0.001), anxiety (beta = 0.52; p < 0.001), perceived stress (beta = 0.22; p < 0.001), and lower family support (beta = -0.62; p < 0.05). Delay discounting was significantly associated with depression (beta = 0.32; p < 0.001), anxiety (beta = 0.46; p < 0.001), and perceived stress (beta = 0.26; p < 0.001). LIMITATIONS This data is cross-sectional, future work should examine the longitudinal relationship while also including additional psychosocial outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Delay discounting and aversion are significantly associated with poor psychosocial outcomes, including lower social support. As the body of evidence grows, additional research is needed to better understand the construct, mechanisms, and the impact of choice settings to better inform intervention development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the United States, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death and disability in women. CVD-modifiable risk factors, including poor diet quality and inadequate physical activity, can be addressed through evidence-based interventions (EBIs). Strong Hearts Healthy Communities (SHHC) is an EBI that has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing CVD risk and improving health outcomes among rural white women. The aims of this study were to understand the general health, diet, and physical activity-related needs and goals of women living in an urban community, to inform the tailoring and adaptation of the SHHC EBI to an urban setting and more diverse population. METHODS Focus groups (FGs) were conducted with African American/Black and Hispanic/Latinx women in the Dallas metropolitan area who had a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and engaged in ≤ 150 min per week of moderate physical activity. The data were coded using a team-based, deductive, and thematic analysis approach, that included multiple coders and in-depth discussions. RESULTS Four FGs with a total of 18 participants (79% Black and 21% Latinx) were conducted, and three themes were developed: (1) participants had adequate knowledge and positive attitudes towards healthy living but faced many barriers to practicing healthy behaviors; (2) culturally-based beliefs and community practices exerted a strong influence on behaviors related to food and stress, revealing barriers to healthy eating and generational differences in stress and stress management; (3) participants desired a more individualized approach to nutrition and physical activity interventions that included familiar and enjoyable activities and social support centered around shared health goals. CONCLUSIONS The SHHC intervention and similar health programs for Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx women in urban settings should emphasize individualized nutrition and practical skills for healthy eating with accessible, familiar, and enjoyable exercises. Additionally, stress management strategies should be culturally and generationally sensitive and social support, whether through family, friends, or other program participants, should be based on shared health goals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Electronic health (eHealth) literacy is a relatively new concept used to determine health outcomes. However, it is not well known how eHealth literacy relates to health outcomes such as diabetes self-management. PURPOSE This study was designed to examine the relationships among eHealth literacy, self-efficacy, social support, and self-management in people with Type 2 diabetes. METHODS A cross-sectional design was used to examine secondary data from a field survey of people with Type 2 diabetes recruited from outpatient clinics from August to December 2021 ( N = 453). A structural equation model was used that first analyzed the measurement model using confirmatory factor analysis and then tested the hypothesized structural model to estimate the expected relationships among the study variables. The significance of the statistical estimates for the model was assessed based on the 95% bias-corrected bootstrap confidence interval from 5,000 bootstrap resamples. RESULTS Significant, indirect relationships were found between eHealth literacy and self-management via self-efficacy (β = 0.26, B = 0.17, 95% CI [0.10, 0.24]) and via social support and, in turn, self-efficacy (β = 0.08, B = 0.05, 95% CI [0.04, 0.08]). eHealth literacy, social support, and self-efficacy together explained 58.1% of the variance in self-management. CONCLUSION/IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE This study provides new evidence regarding how eHealth literacy relates to self-management in people with Type 2 diabetes via two indirect pathways, including self-efficacy alone and social support and self-efficacy in series. An eHealth literacy program for self-management should be developed in clinical practice that includes strategies for inducing synergistic effects from self-efficacy and social support on self-management in people with Type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS In type 1 diabetes (T1D), psychosocial factors may impact quality of life (QOL) and clinical outcomes, but remain understudied, particularly during late adolescence. Our aim was to determine whether stigma, diabetes distress and self-efficacy are associated with QOL in adolescents with T1D as they are preparing to transition to adult care. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study of adolescents (ages 16-17 years) with T1D participating in the Group Education Trial to Improve Transition (GET-IT) in Montreal, Canada. Participants completed validated questionnaires on stigma using the Barriers to Diabetes Adherence (BDA) stigma subscale, self-efficacy (Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Self-Management Measure [SEDM], score 1-10), diabetes distress (Diabetes Distress Scale for Adults with type 1 diabetes) and QOL (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory [PedsQL] 4.0 Generic Core Scale and PedsQL 3.2 Diabetes Module). We examined associations of stigma, diabetes distress and self-efficacy with QOL using multivariate linear regression models adjusted for sex, diabetes duration, socioeconomic status and HbA1c. RESULTS Of 128 adolescents with T1D, 76 (59%) self-reported having the diabetes-related stigma and 29 (22.7%) reported experiencing diabetes distress. Those with stigma had lower diabetes-specific and general QOL scores compared with those without stigma, and stigma and diabetes distress were both associated with lower diabetes-specific QOL and lower general QOL. Self-efficacy was associated with higher diabetes-specific and general QOL. CONCLUSIONS Stigma and diabetes distress are associated with lower QOL, whereas self-efficacy is associated with higher QOL in adolescents with T1D preparing to transfer to adult care.

Abstract
Sub-Saharan Africa is undergoing an epidemiological transition driven by rapid, unprecedented demographic, socio-cultural, and economic transitions. These transitions are driving increases in the risk and prevalence of diabetes and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs). As NCDs rise, several attempts have been made to understand the individual level factors that increase NCDs risks, knowledge, and attitudes around specific NCDs as well as how people live and manage NCDs. While these studies are important, and enhance knowledge on chronic diseases, little attention has been given to the role of social and cultural environment in managing chronic NCDs in underserved settings. Using purposive sampling among persons living with Diabetes Mellitus (PLWD) and participating in diabetes programs from regional and municipal hospitals in the three underserved regions in Ghana (n = 522), we assessed diabetes management and supportive care needs of PLWDs using linear latent and mixed models (gllamm) with binomial and a logit(log) link function. The result indicates that PLWDs with strong perceived social support (OR = 2.27, p ≤ 0.05) were more likely to report good diabetes management compared to PLWDs with weak perceived social support. The built environment, living with other health conditions, household wealth, ethnicity and age were associated with diabetes management. Overall, the study contributes to wider discussions on the role changing built and socio-cultural environments in the rise of diet-related diseases and their management as many Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) experience rapid epidemiological and nutrition transitions.

Socioeconomic and behavioral determinants of non-compliance with physician referrals following community screening for diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia: a mixed-methods study.

[PMID: 37996479 PMCID: PMC10667337 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-47168-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Early detection of undiagnosed diabetes, hypertension or hyperlipidemia through screening could reduce healthcare costs resulting from disease complications. To date, despite ample research on the factors linked to the uptake of community health screening programs, little attention has been directed at delayed or incomplete follow-up after positive outcomes are identified in community screening tests. This study aimed to investigate the socioeconomic and behavioral factors that influence non-compliance with recommendations for primary care physician referrals, following community-based screening for diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. A parallel mixed-methods study was conducted. For quantitative data, we performed multivariable analysis on community-based chronic disease screening data. The qualitative component involved semi-structured interviews with individuals with both non-compliance and compliance with referral recommendations. Thematic data analysis was undertaken using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). The quantitative analysis showed that older age (OR = 0.92, 95%CI [0.89-0.96]), non-Chinese ethnicity (OR = 0.24; 95% CI [0.08-0.44]) and residing in 5-room public/ private housing (OR = 0.40; 95% CI [0.14-0.74]) were associated with lower odds of non-compliance with referral recommendations. Thematic analysis identified multiple behavioral-level determinants acting as enablers or barriers within 7 TDF domains: awareness of health risks after receiving screening results, self-management orientation and behavioral control, fear of formal diagnosis and concerns about healthcare cost, optimistic belief driven by the lack of symptoms, interpersonal relationship and social obligations, aversion to medication, communication at the result collection and sense of uncertainty regarding self-scheduling of appointment. Findings provide valuable implications for the development of interventions aimed at improving adherence to referral recommendation. Future endeavors should include culturally sensitive outreach, evidence-based information dissemination, family-centered education, positive public health messaging, brief counseling during result collection and an opt-out appointment system to enhance follow-up care.

The mediating role of diabetes stigma and self-efficacy in relieving diabetes distress among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a multicenter cross-sectional study. Front Psychol 2023; 14:1147101.

Abstract
Background Patients with diabetes mellitus often suffer from diabetes distress. Social support and certain psychological factors potentially influence diabetes distress, but studies exploring the mechanisms underlying these relationships are scarce. Objectives To reveal the associations between social support, diabetes stigma, diabetes self-efficacy, and diabetes distress among patients with type 2 diabetes and the underlying mechanisms linking these variables. Design and methods A multicenter cross-sectional study was adopted and a sample of 431 patients with type 2 diabetes was investigated. Social support, diabetes stigma, diabetes self-efficacy, and diabetes distress were surveyed with the Perceived Social Support Scale, Type 2 Diabetes Stigma Assessment Scale, Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Scale, and Diabetes Distress Scale, respectively. The hypothesized model was verified using structural equation modeling. Results Social support and diabetes stigma had direct associations with diabetes distress. Diabetes stigma mediated the association between social support and diabetes distress, and the association between diabetes self-efficacy and diabetes distress. Diabetes stigma and self-efficacy exerted a chain mediation effect on the association between social support and diabetes distress. Conclusion Social support and diabetes stigma were significant predictors of diabetes distress. Diabetes stigma and self-efficacy play essential mediating roles in relieving diabetes distress. This can provide guidance for the development of evidence- and theory-based interventions. Culturally sensitive interventions that aim to provide ongoing social support, decrease diabetes stigma, and enhance self-efficacy have the potential to relieve diabetes distress.

Resilience, self-efficacy and diabetes distress on self-management behaviours in patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes: A moderated mediation analysis. J Adv Nurs 2023; 79:215-222. [PMID: 36317455 DOI: 10.1111/jan.15483] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
AIM To examine (1) the mediating role of self-efficacy between resilience and self-management behaviours and (2) the moderating role of diabetes distress on the relationship between self-efficacy and self-management behaviours in patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. DESIGN Cross-sectional design. METHODS Totally, 195 patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes for more than 5 months but less than 18 months were recruited from three endocrine clinics in Taiwan through convenience sampling. Self-reported questionnaires including demographic and disease characteristics, resilience, self-efficacy and self-management behaviours were used to collect data from October 2020 to May 2021. Moderated mediation analysis was performed by Hayes's PROCESS macro. RESULT According to bootstrapping results, the indirect effect of resilience on self-management was significant, although the direct effect of resilience on self-management was not. Participants were categorized into with and without diabetes distress groups. The results of moderated mediation analysis indicated self-efficacy significantly correlated with self-management behaviours in participants without diabetes distress, although self-efficacy did not significantly correlate with self-management in participants with diabetes distress. CONCLUSION The association of resilience with self-management behaviours was fully mediated through self-efficacy with diabetes distress moderating the relationship between self-efficacy and self-management behaviours in patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. IMPACT Improving resilience could enhance self-efficacy leading to possible improvement in self-management behaviour, although improving self-efficacy might not benefit self-management behaviours for those with high levels of diabetes distress. Healthcare providers need to first assess and address the diabetes distress before intervening to improve self-efficacy to enhance self-management behaviours in patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION When designing this study, two patients newly diagnosed with diabetes were consulted about the importance of self-management behaviours for them personally.

Abstract
Background Type 1 diabetes requires making numerous daily decisions to maintain normoglycemia. Support is an evidence-based self-guided web application for type 1 diabetes diabetes self-management. Objective Evaluate users' satisfaction with Support and investigate changes in self-reported frequency of-, fear of- hypoglycemia, and diabetes-related self-efficacy. Methods Adults from a Quebec type 1 diabetes registry used Support. Data was collected through online surveys or extracted from the registry at 0, 6, and 12 months (number of episodes and fear of hypoglycemia). At 6 months, participants reported satisfaction with Support and diabetes-related self-efficacy. A sub-group of 16 users was interviewed about their experience. Transcripts were analyzed using inductive and deductive approaches. Results In total, 207 accounts were created (35% men, 96% White, mean age and diabetes duration: 49.3 ± 13.8 and 25.2 ± 14.7 years). At 6 months, the median [Q1; Q3] satisfaction was 40/49 [35; 45] with a mean decrease in hypoglycemia frequency of 0.43 episodes over 3 days (95% CI: -0.86; 0.00, p = 0.051) and of -1.98 score for fear (95% CI: -3.76; -0.20, p = 0.030). Half of the participants reported increased diabetes-related self-efficacy. Conclusions Participants reported a high level of satisfaction with Support. Its use has the potential to facilitate hypoglycemia management and increase diabetes-related self-efficacy. Trial registration This study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04233138.

Personal Goals, Barriers to Self-Management and Desired mHealth Application Features to Improve Self-Care in Multi-Ethnic Asian Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Qualitative Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:15415. [PMID: 36430134 PMCID: PMC9692780 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph192215415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
(1) Introduction: The ubiquity of mobile phones suggests the potential of mobile health applications to reach patients with type 2 diabetes and engage them to improve self-care. This study aimed to explore personal goals, barriers to self-management and desired mobile health application features to improve self-care among multi-ethnic Asian patients with type 2 diabetes. (2) Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with patients with type 2 diabetes (n = 29). Patients were recruited from a multi-disciplinary center for diabetes and metabolism in Singapore, using a purposive sampling strategy. Various visual materials, collated from existing mobile health application features, were used to facilitate the discussion. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and thematically analyzed. (3) Results: A total of 29 patients participated in 11 focus group discussions or one-on-one interviews. Personal goals for self-management were centered around short-term outcome expectancy, such as better glucose control and a reduced number of medications. Self-management was hampered by competing priorities and limited healthy food options when at work, while a lack of tailored advice from healthcare providers further diminished competence. The desired mobile health app features to improve self-care behaviors included quantifiable goal-setting, personalized nudges based on tracked data, built-in resources from credible sources, in-app social support through virtual interaction with peers and healthcare providers, technology-driven novel data logging and user-defined nudges. (4) Conclusions: We identified a set of app features that may foster motivation to engage in lifestyle modification for patients with T2DM. The findings serve to inform the design of artificial intelligence-enabled mobile health application intervention aimed at improving diabetes self-care.

Abstract
BackgroundThe prognosis of patients undergoing lung cancer treatment might be influenced by mental health status. Resilience is one of the important predictors to reflect the mental health status. It has been shown that patients with higher levels of social support, self-care self-efficacy, and positive coping have greater resilience. This study aimed to determine the mediating role of self-efficacy and positive coping in the relationship between social support and psychological resilience in patients with lung cancer.MethodThis is a cross-sectional study that was conducted in in the oncology departments and thoracic surgical wards of four tertiary hospitals in Hunan Province, China, between November 2016 and November 2017. Three hundred and three patients who were undergoing treatment for lung cancer volunteered their participation in the study. Participants completed questionnaires, including the Chinese version of the Perceived Social Support Seale Scale, the Chinese version of Strategies Used by People to Promote Health Scale, and the Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale.ResultsMediation analysis indicated that self-care self-efficacy and social support partially mediate the effect of social support on resilience. Direct paths from social support to self-efficacy, self-efficacy to positive coping, positive coping to psychological resilience, self-efficacy to psychological resilience, and social support to psychological resilience were significant (p < 0.001). The indirect paths from social support to self-efficacy and self-efficacy to psychological resilience were also significant. The chain mediation from social support to self-efficacy, self-efficacy to positive coping, and positive coping to resilience were significant.ConclusionSelf-efficacy and positive coping play an important role in the relationship between social support and resilience in patients receiving cancer treatment. Social support not only directly influenced psychological resilience but also indirectly influenced psychological resilience through self-efficacy and positive coping.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to understand the role of perceived disease threat and self-efficacy in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients' self-management by using the extended parallel processing model (EPPM) and sensemaking theory. METHODS Semistructured interviews (n = 25) were conducted with T2DM patients from an urban safety-net hospital. Participants were 50% male/female median age was 55 years and 76% were Black. Participants were categorized by EPPM group based on validated questionnaires (high/low disease threat [HT/LT]; high/low self-efficacy [HE/LE]). Nine were HT/HE, 7 HT/LE, 6 LT/HE, and 3 LT/LE. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using inductive and deductive coding. Sensemaking theory was applied to contextualize and analyze data. RESULTS Those with HT indicated threat fluctuated throughout diagnosis but that certain triggers (eg, diabetic complications) drove changes in disease view. Those in the HT/HE group more frequently expressed disease acceptance, whereas the HT/LE group more often expressed anger or denial. HT/HE participants expressed having adequate social support and higher trust in health care providers. HT/LE participants reported limited problem-solving skills. In those with LT, the HE group took more ownership of self-management behaviors. The LT/LE group had heightened positive and negative emotional responses that appeared to limit their ability to perform self-care. They also less frequently described problem-solving skills, instead expressing reliance on medical guidance from their providers. CONCLUSIONS EPPM and sensemaking theory are effective frameworks for understanding how perceived health threat and self-efficacy may impede T2DM self-care. A greater focus on these constructs is needed to improve care among low-income minority patients, especially those with low threat and self-efficacy.

Mediating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between social support and self-management behaviors among patients with knee osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional study. BMC Geriatr 2022; 22:635. [PMID: 35918645 PMCID: PMC9344710 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-022-03331-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Good self-management behaviors in patients with knee osteoarthritis can improve disease awareness, treatment effectiveness, quality of life, and reduce medical costs. However, there is a paucity of studies focusing on patients with knee osteoarthritis. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the mediating effect of self-efficacy on aspects of social support and self-management behaviors in this population. METHODS This study employed a cross-sectional design and convenience sampling to survey patients with knee osteoarthritis in an outpatient department of a regional hospital in northern Taiwan from February 22, 2021, to April 15, 2021. The inclusion criteria for patients were (1) those diagnosed by a physician with knee osteoarthritis and (2) who could communicate in Chinese or Taiwanese. Participants were asked to complete a demographic questionnaire, the Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale (ASE), the Inventory of Socially Supportive Behavior (including enacted support and perceived social support), and the Arthritis Self-Management Assessment Tool (ASMAT). In addition, the Kellgren-Lawrence Grading Scale was obtained from a chart review. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson product-moment correlation, and mediation analysis. RESULTS A total of 140 patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age of participants was 70.21 ± 10.84years; most (73.6%) were female. The mean total score of the ASMAT was 64.27 ± 14.84. Scores for the ASE, enacted support, and perceived social support were significantly positively correlated with ASMAT (all p < .001). The standardized coefficient for total effect and direct effect of perceived social support on ASMAT was 0.899 (p < .001) and 0.754 (p < .05), respectively. After introducing the ASE into the model, the indirect effect was 0.145 (p < .05), which indicated that ASE had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between perceived social support and ASMAT. CONCLUSION Our findings might suggest that perceived social support indirectly affected ASMAT through ASE. Therefore, interventions designed to increase self-efficacy and social support could enhance self-management behaviors for patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peer support models for the management of diabetes self-care have been hailed as a promising solution to strengthen a formal health system to support diabetes patients. Diabetes self-care in patients can truncate the risk factors and reduce the complications. OBJECTIVE To identify self-care level (adherence to the diet, exercise, treatment) and depression among known diabetes patients and to find the effect of the support group intervention on diabetes self-care. METHODS AND MATERIAL A Sequential type Embedded Mixed-Method study (qual→QUAN(qual)→qual) was conducted in three phases in 168 known diabetes adults aged ≥ 30 years in a rural setting. After obtaining IEC clearance, the intervention was carried out over eight months, forming peer support groups in four villages. Each group comprises between six to 12 participants. Assessment of self-care, treatment adherence and depression with standardized scales. DATA ANALYSIS A manual content analysis was performed on the qualitative data. The Wilcoxon rank test was used to compare the quantitative data before and after intervention and analyzed using SPSS (Version_24) software package. RESULTS In this study, we found improved self-care practices and treatment adherence among study participants (p < 0.001). About 88.7% of participants said that the support group was useful and provided moral support for diabetes. CONCLUSION We found an improvement in treatment adherence, self-care among diabetes patients' and marginal improvement in depression status through support group intervention. Also the peer support group was well accepted, and it provided the low-cost, feasible intervention respect to the chronic conditions like diabetes, by addressing their behavioral changes and support from community. By sustaining the support group, might able to achieve the efficient health care in high quality even at resource-poor settings. KEY MESSAGES A Community-Based intervention for the diabetes self-care using peer support group among the diabetes patients will improve the self-care practices in the area with limited access to healthcare and financial resources, it provides a low-cost, flexible, culturally sensitive approach to support self-care management and reduce the further complications among It also imporve the problem-solving capacity and social support from families and peers patients.

Abstract
Objective Egyptian studies in assessing the relationship between diabetes self-care, social support, and glycemic control in primary healthcare (PHC) are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to assess this relationship, and to evaluate the associated factors of diabetes self-care, social support, and glycemic control in Egyptian PHC patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 320 T2DM patients at four PHC settings in Port Said city, affiliated with the General Authority of Healthcare. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data, including demographic characteristics, socioeconomic status scale, disease profile, the Arabic versions of the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities, and the received social support scales. Data were collected from January 2020 to June 2020. Results Diabetes self-care activities, and self-monitoring of blood glucose had a very weak negative correlations with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels (rho = - 0.125, p = 0.025, rho = - 0.112, p = 0.044, respectively). Receiving social support on following a meal correlated positively and very weakly with HbA1c levels (rho = 0.145, p = 0.010). Hardly positive correlation was found between receiving emotional support on feelings about diabetes, and following a specific diet (rho = 0.169, p = 0.002). Diabetes self-care activities were positively associated with higher education levels, and elevated BMI. Received social support was negatively associated with having coronary artery disease, and marital status e.g. divorced and widow. Increased age, and female gender were the predictors of good glycemic control. Conclusion Diabetes self-care activities were linked with reduced HBA1c levels. Further studies are needed to evaluate the buffering effect of social support on glycemic outcomes in PHC patients with T2DM.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to explore the effect of fear of hypoglycaemia (FOH) on self-management and its specific action path in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to provide a basis for developing targeted nursing interventions. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. METHODS From June to October 2019, we recruited 258 patients with T2DM from the endocrinology department of three hospitals to complete questionnaires, including the Hypoglycaemia Fear Survey-II, Diabetes Distress Scale, Self-Stigma Scale, Social Support Rating Scale and Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities, in Jiangsu Province, China. Pearson's correlation analyses and structural equation modelling were conducted to explore the relationship and influence path among the above variables. RESULTS The correlation analysis of FOH, distress, self-stigma, social support and self-management showed that, except for social support not being correlated with FOH and distress (P > 0.05), all variables were correlated in pairs (r = - 0.19-0.77, P < 0.01). The final model fit well, and the fitting indexes of the model were as follows: χ2/df = 2.191, GFI = 0.934, CFI = 0.954, TLI = 0.934, RMSEA = 0.068, and SRMR = 0.0649. The effects of FOH on self-management in patients with T2DM included one direct path and two indirect paths: (a) FOH had a direct impact on self-management (P < 0.05); (b) FOH had an indirect impact on self-management through distress (P < 0.05); and (c) FOH had an indirect impact on self-management through self-stigma and social support (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS FOH could directly influence self-management in patients with T2DM. Furthermore, distress, self-stigma and social support were important mediating variables of FOH influencing self-management. Researchers can develop personalized interventions to improve the self-management of patients with T2DM by regulating distress, self-stigma and social support levels.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The assessment of self-efficacy for adherence to healthy behaviours among women with gestational diabetes (GDM) is undermined by the unavailability of validated tools. Therefore, this study aimed at translating, culturally adapting and assessing the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of Gestational Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (GDMSES). MATERIALS AND METHODS This methodological study was conducted in the Antenatal Clinic at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital in Oman between October 2016 and January 2017. A total of 90 forms of the Arabic GDMSES tool were completed by Omani pregnant women with gestational diabetes. The study has a multiphase design: (1) cultural and linguistic validation; (2) content and face validity; (3) construct validity; (4) internal validity. RESULTS The Arabic GDMSES showed satisfactory content validity (CVI between .8 and 1), acceptable overall scale internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha=0.85) and stability overtime (Pearson correlation coefficient>.6). Four factors emerged for construct validity using exploratory factor analysis: nutrition and body weight, adaptation to healthy eating, physical activity and treatment and blood sugar. Our sample size of 90 was considered adequate in determining these factors (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin=.78). CONCLUSIONS GDMSES is a valid and reliable tool, thus providing a quick and easy self-efficacy assessment tool for antenatal nurses dealing with pregnant women with GDM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Develop individual discriminant models using clinical and psychosocial variables for physicians and patients with diabetes based on their perceptions of patient adherence. METHODS This was a cross-sectional research design utilizing a discriminant analysis approach. Type 2 patients on treatment for diabetes for at least 2 years prior to research were selected. Clinical data were obtained from patient records, and psychosocial variables were collected by survey instruments filled out by patients. A final sample of 200 patients was recruited. RESULTS We found a positive correlation between patient and physician assessment of patient adherence behaviors. Greater adherence efforts were associated with lower HbA1c. Better quality of the patient-physician relationship was linked to better patient adherence. Increased HbA1c, longer therapy duration and higher BMI described low patient adherence for physicians. Lower HbA1c, female gender and fewer difficulties in marital adjustment characterized high adherence for patients. Dietary self-efficacy as well as emotional and social isolation discriminated mid-level adherers in both models. CONCLUSION This research confirmed that patients and physicians perceived and judged patients' adherence behaviors differently. Physicians and patients associated different clinical and psychological factors with low and high adherence. Further research is recommended to clarify how the quality of the physician-patient as well as the patient-spouse relationship affect dietary efficacy and patient adherence. A randomized, controlled clinical trial approach is recommended to establish the effectiveness of interventions aiming to improve dietary self-efficacy on adherence outcomes.

Can J Diabetes 2021; 46:262-268. [PMID: 35568427 PMCID: PMC9107594 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcjd.2021.10.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Revised: 09/13/2021] [Accepted: 10/24/2021] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our aim in this study was to refine and pilot a video-based telehealth intervention to reduce diabetes distress, depressive symptoms and hypoglycemia fear in parents of school-age children with type 1 diabetes and to assess for changes in child glycated hemoglobin (A1C). METHODS We recruited 41 parents of children (5 to 12 years) to participate in a manualized, video-based telehealth intervention (Cognitive Adaptions to Reduce Emotional Stress [CARES]). Of these, 29 parents completed either a 12-week (n=13) or 8-week (n=16) version of CARES based on the timing of their recruitment. We assessed feasibility (i.e. attrition, attendance) and parent satisfaction with CARES. We used repeated-measures analysis of variance with parent group (8 vs 12 sessions) as a between-subject variable and time as a within-subject variable to measure change in our dependent variables. RESULTS Mostly mothers participated (97.3%). Parents' mean age was 39.65±6.84 years and children's mean age was 9.86±1.57 years at pretreatment. CARES had low attrition (20% to 25%) and good attendance (96% to 98%). Parents also reported high levels of treatment satisfaction (>85%). There were significant main effects for time for parent-reported diabetes distress and depressive symptoms at posttreatment and 3-month follow-up. There was a statistical trend suggesting a time × group interaction for parent depressive symptoms at posttreatment. There was a significant main effect for time for hypoglycemia fear at the 3-month follow-up but no change at posttreatment. There was no change in child A1C at posttreatment. CONCLUSION CARES showed high parent satisfaction, good feasibility and promising results for reducing diabetes distress in parents of school-age children with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Jordan has a high prevalence of painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN), leg complications, and amputations due to diabetes. This study evaluated the effect of educational programs on pain management, self-efficacy behaviors, and quality of life (QoL) among adult patients with PDPN. METHODS The randomized controlled trial study was conducted at the Jordanian Ministry of Health hospitals between October 2019 - March 2020. Seventy-two adult patients with PDPN were randomized to an experimental group of 36 patients who attended an educational program and a control group who followed routine diabetic care in the study setting. The data were collected using a socio-demographic and diabetes clinical/laboratory data form, the numeric rating scale (NRS), diabetes self-efficacy scale (DSES), and the quality-of-life questionnaire (EQ-5D). The intervention program consisted of four educational sessions at weekly intervals. Pre-test and post-test evaluations were conducted. RESULTS After the educational intervention, the mean scores of the NRS (p=0.020), DSES (p<0.001), and EQ-5D (p<0.001) in the experimental group improved significantly improved compared to those in the control group. Additionally, while there were no significant correlations between the three study outcomes in the pre-test stage, correlations were observed to be significant after the educational intervention. CONCLUSION This study shows that the design and implementation of educational intervention combined with routine diabetic care facilitate effective pain management, self-efficacy behaviors, and QoL of patients with PDPN. The health care providers are recommended to use the educational programs for such patients at various levels of services in both health centers and diabetes clinics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Negligence of illness care in terms of non-adherence may give rise to serious health outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Considering the importance of both chronic illness care and adherence, the primary purpose of the study is to explore the profile of diabetic patients' chronic illness care and examine its role in their clinical adherence. In addition to this, we have also investigated the major confounding variables in understanding the chronic illness care of diabetic patients. METHODS We have conducted this study using a simple retrospective design with one group involving the patients primarily diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (N = 200) in India. RESULTS The cluster analysis (k-Means) has yielded three clusters on the basis of five domains of chronic illness care-patient activation, delivery system design, goal setting, problem solving, and follow-up/coordination. The findings further reveal that the profile of chronic illness care plays a significant role in deciding the clinical adherence of patients with type 2 diabetes. The three clusters of diabetes patients, however, are confounded by health risk behaviour. CONCLUSIONS These initial findings are suggestive of an association between chronic illness care, clinical adherence, and health risk behaviour of patients with type 2 diabetes. More research on this topic, however, needs to be undertaken involving other important dimensions of health care system like patient-provider relationship and quality of life during hospitalisation. The implications and shortcomings are discussed.
