The relationship between diabetes burden and health-related quality of life in elderly people with diabetes. Prim Care Diabetes 2023; 17:595-599. [PMID: 37673762 DOI: 10.1016/j.pcd.2023.08.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the most common chronic diseases in the elderly is diabetes. When diabetes is not well controlled, it can cause complications and affect health-related quality of life. Determining the burden of diabetes in elderly patients can provide a good health-related quality of life. AIM The study was conducted to examine the relationship between diabetes burden and health-related quality of life in elderly patients with diabetes. METHODS This is a descriptive and correlational study of 207 patients who applied to the diabetes outpatient clinics of a private and a public hospital in Istanbul. Respondents were completed with "Personal Information Form for Elderly People", "Elderly Diabetes Burden Scale" and the "Quality of Life in the Elderly Scale". Data were analyzed by SPSS. The tests used are Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis and Spearman Correlation tests. RESULTS The mean total score from the Elderly Diabetes Burden Scale was 47.13 ± 11.95 (18-88), and the mean score from the Quality of Life in the Elderly Scale was 19.36 ± 7.00. In the study, as the total diabetes burden score of the elderly patients increased, the Quality of Life in the Elderly Scale score decreased. There was a difference between the mean total score of the Elderly Diabetes Burden Scale and gender, education, living alone and using oral antidiabetic (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS As a result it was determined, a negative correlation was found between the diabetes CASP-19 scale total score and the total EDBS. Determining the burden of diabetes and affecting factors in elderly is important in terms of increasing the health-related quality of life. It may be recommended to plan diabetes education programs that will reduce the burden of diabetes and increase the health-related quality of life in elderly patients.

Spiritual Well-being, Diabetes Burden, Self-management, and Glycemic Control Among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in Turkey: A Descriptive and Correlational Study. JOURNAL OF RELIGION AND HEALTH 2023; 62:4363-4381. [PMID: 36871283 DOI: 10.1007/s10943-023-01783-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 02/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Spiritual well-being is considered a significant factor in helping to manage chronic diseases and cope with the disease process. This descriptive-correlational study aimed to investigate the relationship between spiritual well-being, diabetes burden, self-management, and among 300 outpatients with type 2 diabetes in Turkey. A significant relationship was found between the diabetes burden and self-management levels and the spiritual well-being of patients with diabetes (p < 0.005). Multiple linear regression analyses found that a high diabetes burden (ß = -0.106) decreased well-being, and high self-management increased well-being (ß = 0.415). Additionally, the results revealed that marital status, household members, performing daily life activities alone, hospitalization due to complications, diabetes burden, self-management, glycemic control, and blood lipid parameters explained 29% of the total variance in the spiritual well-being level. Accordingly, the present study recommended that health professionals should consider spiritual well-being to support disease management with a holistic approach to diabetes patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the diabetes burden in elderly individuals along with successful ageing, which defines how well individual ages contribute to coping with the disease and diabetes management. This study also aimed to evaluate the relationship between diabetes burden and successful ageing in elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes. METHODS The data for this descriptive study were collected from 526 individuals who were 65 years old patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the diabetes polyclinic of a research and training hospital between January and June 2021. RESULTS It was found that the Successful Ageing Scale score was higher in women, those who had regular diabetes control, and those who had easy access to health services. Elderly Diabetes Burden Scale scores were found to be higher in men, those whose diabetes treatment was insulin, and those with poor perceived health status. No statistically significant relationship was determined between the Elderly Diabetes Burden Scale total score and the Successful Ageing Scale total score (p>0.05). CONCLUSION Accordingly, by enabling the elderly to have easy access to healthcare services, preventing complications, and providing elderly healthcare services, it will be possible to reduce the diabetes burden in the elderly and enable them to age successfully.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elderly patients with diabetes receiving social support are likely to have better compliance with their disease self-care. However, no previous study from Turkey has assessed the effect of social support on diabetes burden among elderly patients. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the association between social support and disease burden among elderly patients with diabetes in Turkey. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study included 271 randomly selected elderly patients with diabetes who presented to the internal medicine and diabetes polyclinics of three state hospitals (Sindirgi State Hospital, Balikesir Ataturk State Hospital and Balikesir State Hospital) in Balikesir, Turkey, between April and November 2017. A single interviewer collected all data using a sociodemographic form, the Elderly Diabetes Burden Scale (EDBS) and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Data were analyzed using arithmetic averages, percentages and Pearson's correlation. RESULTS The mean age of the participants was 72 ± 5.2 (65-88) years, and most (53.6%) were females and lived with their family: spouse (58.3%), children (18.5%) or both (17.7%). The mean EDBS score was 35.21 ± 6.94 (25-69), and the mean MSPSS score was 67.81 ± 17.33 (12-112). A significant negative correlation was found between the mean total of both assessment tools (P < 0.05), indicating diabetes burden was higher among those with lower social support. A similar significant correlation was observed between symptom burden, social burden, burden of dietary restrictions, burden by tablets or insulin and the total EDBS score. CONCLUSION This study found that in Balikesir, Turkey, social support for elderly patients with diabetes was mostly provided by their families and that their diabetes burden decreased with increased social support levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although there has been growing research on the burden of treatment, the current state of evidence on measuring this concept is unknown. This scoping review aimed to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge as well as clear recommendations for future research, within the context of chronic disease. METHODS Four health-based databases, Scopus, CINAHL, Medline, and PsychInfo, were comprehensively searched for peer-reviewed articles published between the periods of 2000-2016. Titles and abstracts were independently read by two authors. All discrepancies between the authors were resolved by a third author. Data was extracted using a standardized proforma and a comparison analysis was used in order to explore the key treatment burden measures and categorize them into three groups. RESULTS Database searching identified 1458 potential papers. After removal of duplications, and irrelevant articles by title, 1102 abstracts remained. An additional 22 papers were added via snowball searching. In the end, 101 full papers were included in the review. A large number of the studies involved quantitative measures and conceptualizations of treatment burden (n = 64; 63.4%), and were conducted in North America (n = 49; 48.5%). There was significant variation in how the treatment burden experienced by those with chronic disease was operationalized and measured. CONCLUSION Despite significant work, there is still much ground to cover to comprehensively measure treatment burden for chronic disease. Greater qualitative focus, more research with cultural and minority populations, a larger emphasis on longitudinal studies and the consideration of the potential effects of "identity" on treatment burden, should be considered.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Previous reviews have revealed uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of home visit interventions for managing diabetes. Therefore, we carried out a quantitative systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of home visit interventions among patients with diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched various electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, Wanfang and Chinese scientific full-text databases) from their inception until March 2016. We included randomized controlled trials that included patients with diabetes, and evaluated the effects of home visit programs on glycated hemoglobin concentrations. Two reviewers independently used the Cochrane Collaboration methods to assess the included studies' risk of bias and quality. RESULTS We included seven randomized controlled trials with 686 participants. Compared with the usual care, the home visit group showed a greater reduction in glycated hemoglobin concentrations (mean difference -0.79% [-9 mmol/mol], 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.93 to -0.25% [11 to -3 mmol/mol]; P < 0.05; I2 = 0%), systolic blood pressure (mean difference -5.94 mmHg, 95% confidence interval -11.34 to -0.54 mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure (mean difference -6.32 mmHg, 95% confidence interval -12.00 to -0.65 mmHg). Furthermore, home visits improved quality of life, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, total triglycerides and self-management. However, there were no significant differences between the two groups in their bodyweight, total cholesterol, body mass index and self-efficacy. CONCLUSION Home visits were associated with improved glycemic control and reduced cardiovascular risk factors, which shows that it is an effective method for diabetes management.
