Development and validation of the diabetic self-management scale based on information-motivation-behavioral skills theory. Front Public Health 2023; 11:1109158. [PMID: 36908406 PMCID: PMC9998917 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1109158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Self-management is important for the blood sugar control of middle-aged and elderly Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, of which diet, exercise, and drug compliance are the most common components. The Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills Model (IMB) has been widely used in health behavior management and intervention. Objective The purpose of this study is to develop and validate the Diabetic Self-Management Scale (DSMS) based on the IMB model. Methods Self-report survey data was collected from middle-aged and elderly T2DM patients in Zhongmu City, Henan Province, China in November 2021 using convenience sampling. The original DSMS was developed through a literature review and summary of previous similar scales using an inductive approach. Item modification was finished by a panel of specialists. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to evaluate the reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and criterion validity of DSMS. Results Four hundred and sixty nine T2DM patients completed the questionnaire survey. The final DSMS consists of 22 items with three dimensions, including information (five items), motivation (eight items), and behavior skills (nine items). The results of simple factor analysis showed that the KMO value was 0.839, Bartlett spherical test 2 = 3254.872, P < 0.001. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that 2/df = 2.261, RMSEA = 0.073, CFI = 0.937, TLI = 0.930, and SRMR = 0.096. The standardized factor loadings of 22 DSMS items were all above 0.6, and the CR values of 3 dimensions were all higher than 0.9. In addition, DSMS also showed good discriminant and criterion validity. Conclusion The 22-item DSMS has good reliability and validity, and can be used to make diabetic self-management assessment regarding diet, physical activity, and medication among middle-aged and elderly Chinese T2DM patients. DSMS is of moderate length and easy to understand. It can be promoted in China in the future to understand the self-management status of middle-aged and elderly T2DM patients in China.

Abstract
Inappropriate gestational weight gain has become a public health concern that threatens maternal and child health. Pregnant women's ability to manage their weight during pregnancy directly impacts their weight gain. In this study, we integrated the protection motivation theory and the information-motivation-behavioral skills model to develop an integrative theoretical model suitable for pregnancy weight management and reveal significant explainable factors of weight management behaviors during pregnancy. Based on a cross-sectional survey of 550 pregnant women from Jiangsu province, we came up with our findings. The results showed that several factors influenced pregnancy weight management behavior. According to the research, information, self-efficacy, response costs, and behavioral skills were significantly associated with weight management behaviors during pregnancy, while behavioral skills were also significant mediators of information, self-efficacy, and behavior. Furthermore, the information related to pregnancy weight management had the biggest impact on weight management behavior during pregnancy. The results of the model fit were acceptable and the integrative model could explain 30.6% of the variance of weight management behavior during pregnancy, which implies that the integrative theoretical model can effectively explain and predict weight management behaviors during pregnancy. Our study provides practical implications for the integrative model in improving pregnancy weight management behavior and offers a theoretical base for the weight management of pregnant women.

Patient Prefer Adherence 2021; 15:399-409. [PMID: 33654385 PMCID: PMC7910106 DOI: 10.2147/ppa.s292086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2020] [Accepted: 01/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood glucose monitoring is essential in diabetic care and management. Monitoring using glucometers in home and in laboratories by professionals in certain health institutes were the common methods of blood glucose monitoring in clinical practice. This study aimed to characterize the profiles of blood glucose monitoring in the view of the discrepancy in methods and frequency conducted by the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in China, and to explore factors influencing the profiles. METHODS A cross-sectional, community-based study was conducted in Shandong province, China, with a multi-stage stratified sampling. A total of 2166 T2DM patients completed the structured questionnaires about the real-world status of blood glucose monitoring and other questions composed of demographic and clinical characteristic as well as the diabetes-related cognitive scales. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to identify the underlying profiles of blood glucose monitoring based on self-reported frequency of blood glucose monitoring through different methods. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the characteristics of the profiles and to explore the factors associated with it. RESULTS Among the 2166 participants, the mean frequency of blood glucose monitoring was 2.77 times (standard deviation: 7.67) per month. LPA indicated that five-class model was the best solution for classifying the latent groups of blood glucose monitoring: Class 1 "Low frequency in all", Class 2 "High frequency in hospitals", Class 3 "High frequency in primary health institutes", Class 4 "High frequency in pharmacies", and Class 5 "High frequency in self-monitoring". The proportions of the patients in class 1, class 2, class 3, class 4, and class 5 were 88.1% (n=1909), 1.3% (n=28), 3.1% (n=67), 6.1% (n=133) and 1.3% (n=29), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression showed that participants who had higher income (OR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.04~2.41, p<0.05), had diabetes complication(s) (OR=1.37, 95% CI: 1.03~1.02, p=0.03) and had a good knowledge of blood glucose control (OR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.17~2.16, p<0.01) were more likely to have high frequency of blood glucose monitoring (in class 2, 3, 4, 5), and the rural patients were less likely to had high frequency of blood glucose monitoring (OR=0.47, 95% CI: 0.35~0.63, p<0.01). CONCLUSION Low frequency dominates the characteristics of the profiles of blood glucose monitoring among T2DM patients in China, though distinct blood glucose monitoring groups can be identified by LPA. Educational and financial supports were recommended to increase the frequency of blood glucose monitoring in patients with T2DM, focusing on the patients with low socioeconomic status.

Patient Prefer Adherence 2021; 15:2809-2819. [PMID: 34938070 PMCID: PMC8686228 DOI: 10.2147/ppa.s340971] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2021] [Accepted: 12/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) plays a crucial role in the maintenance of glycemic control in young people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), but most of them do not perform SMBG as recommended. Few studies comprehensively explored factors that correlate with adherence to SMBG among this population on the basis of a framework. Hence, the aims of this study were to describe adherence to SMBG among young people with T1DM in China and explore its associating factors according to the Self and Family Management (SFM) framework. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on young people with T1DM in Hunan Province of China from July to August 2020. Based on the SFM framework, self-reported questionnaires were organized for the collection of data on adherence to SMBG, socio-demographic and clinical factors, resources, health care system, and personal factors. Factors associated with adherence to SMBG were determined through multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 165 young people were invited, of which 122 (73.9%) completed the questionnaires. The mean age was 12.41 years (SD = 3.18), and the proportion of young people who adhered to SMBG was 53.3%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that children aged 8-12 years (OR = 0.188, P = 0.002), from two-parent families (OR = 0.232, P = 0.019), and with better personal factors (eg, with more information of SMBG, OR = 1.072, P = 0.020; lower diabetes-related worry, OR = 0.917, P = 0.031; higher level of pain during SMBG, OR = 1.852, P = 0.001), had better adherence to SMBG. CONCLUSION Nearly half of the young people with T1DM were not adherent to SMBG in China. Clinicians need to pay more attention to adolescents from single-parent families with regard to their adherence to SMBG. Providing management strategies of SMBG, including delivering SMBG-related information, decreasing diabetes-related worry, and relieving pain related to SMBG, may improve adherence.

Abstract
Background
Self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) includes an assessment of the capillary glucose concentration as well as the interpretation of and responding to the readings. The purpose of this study was to assess patients’ compliance to self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG), identify factors and barriers that affect it, and to correlate performance of SMBG to blood glucose monitoring and patients’ quality of life. Three hundred and thirty children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes were subjected to the following: (1) an interview pre-structured questionnaire which included personal, medical history, and details about SMBG; (2) Questionnaire about Quality of Life Index (Diabetes Version-III) by Ferrans and Powers for patients aging 10–16 years; and (3) glycated hemoglobin (HA1C) measurement.
Results
About 67% of the patients assessed their blood glucose 3 times per day, while 0.57% assessed blood glucose 7 times. The most influential factors affecting compliance of SMBG were the cost of strips and glucometers, the fear of pain and injection, psychological frustration, lack of availability of information to deal with high reading, and the absence of motivation for doing regular SMBG.
The more the frequency of SMBG daily, the better the HA1C of the patients (p < 0.01).
Adolescent patients aged 10–16 years who have more frequent SMBG and those with less HA1C have significant better quality of life (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
More frequent SMBG practice was associated with better glycemic control and better quality of life. Patients’ compliance is influenced by several factors which affect their frequency of SMBG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is a crucial tool for maintaining glycemic control in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, to date, little is known about the current status of SMBG engagement among women with GDM in China. OBJECTIVE To describe the current status of SMBG engagement among women with GDM in China and identify its barriers and facilitators. DESIGN AND SETTING A mixed-methods design was conducted, comprising a cross-sectional survey and semi-structured interviews. The research data were collected in two tertiary hospitals in Hunan province, China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 323 women with GDM completed the survey from March 2018 to October 2018, and 11 of them participated in the interviews. FINDING In total, 35.6% of the participants actively engaged in SMBG. The participants who had an advanced maternal age (95% CI 0.253-0.947), did not own glucose meters (95% CI 0.054-0.364), did not receive SMBG-related information from health professionals (95% CI 0.232-.987), or received less SMBG information in general (95% CI 0.137-0.52) were less likely to engage in SMBG. Insufficient SMBG information and low awareness of SMBG were also summarized as the main barriers in the interview findings. Facilitators of SMBG engagement included SMBG-related social support (95% CI 1.573-6.135) and health concerns related to themselves and the unborn infant. CONCLUSION About one-third of Chinese women with GDM engaged in SMBG. An accurate and complete description of how SMBG should be performed is needed from health professionals. Strategies to obtain more SMBG-related social support and a greater emphasis on health concerns are recommended to increase SMBG engagement among women with GDM in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various guidelines recommend that all adults diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) should be offered an evidence based, structured education programme (SEP) to optimize self-management care. China has a 13,000 annual increase in newly diagnosed T1D cases, of which 65% are adults. However, there is yet no validated SEP targeted to T1D patients in China. The purpose of this study is to establish a structured T1D self-management education programme-'Type 1 Diabetes Education in Lifestyle and Self Adjustment' (TELSA) that is adapted to medical and cultural practices in China. METHODS TELSA programme was developed based on the ADDIE model, following three steps: i) Semi-structured interviews were administered to 10 healthcare professionals (HCPs) and 13 T1D patients. Different topic guides, focusing on 4 dimensions including goals, contents, format of delivery, and quality assurance, were designed for either HCPs or patients. The interviews were recorded and analysed with thematic analysis. ii) Extracted themes were modified according to Delphi consultation. iii) Preliminary courses were conducted as pilot study to evaluate the effects of TELSA and optimization of the curriculum was finalized accordingly. RESULTS A total of 18 themes in 4 dimensions of the programme design were identified in the final version: i) goals: 'behaviour modification' and 'outcome improvement'; ii) contents: 'living with T1D', 'self-monitoring of blood glucose', 'knowing insulin', 'insulin dose adjustment', 'carbohydrates and carbohydrate counting', 'hypoglycaemia', 'complications of diabetes', 'managing psychological issues', 'physical activity', and 'question-and-answer'; iii) format: 'multidisciplinary team combined with peer support', 'face-to-face education followed by remote learning', and '2-day programme held on weekends'; and iv) quality assurance: 'after-class quiz', 'patients' feedback', and 'long-term evaluation on effectiveness'. CONCLUSIONS A type 1 diabetes structured education programme in China was set up and shown to be applicable under local medical, social, and cultural environment. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT03610984. Date of registration: August 2, 2018.

[PMID: 31413552 PMCID: PMC6662864 DOI: 10.2147/ppa.s211668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2019] [Accepted: 06/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is important to the management of diabetes mellitus, yet most patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) do not perform SMBG as recommended. The current status and influential factors of SMBG in China have not been well investigated. This study aimed to describe the present status of SMBG adherence in China and investigate the influential factors based on electronic questionnaires. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted from June to July of 2017 at hospitals in Changsha, China. Seven hundred and twenty-one patients with T2DM completed the information‑motivation‑behavioral (IMB) skills questionnaire and other electronic questionnaires composed of demographic and clinical characteristics as well as diabetes-related and psychological scales. Univariate comparisons and multivariate logistic regression were used to explore the relationships among SMBG adherence and related factors. RESULTS Seven hundred and twenty-one patients with valid questionnaires were included. Only 27.5% (198/721) of the patients with T2DM were SMBG adherent based on the guideline of the Chinese Diabetes Society (CDS) in 2017. Among all groups of treatment regimens, the rate of SMBG adherence was highest at 36.6% (82/224) in patients on oral hypoglycaemic drugs (OHAs). In multivariable analysis, the treatment of OHAs (OR =3.731, CI 2.162-6.437) and diet/exercise (OR =3.534, CI 1.841-6.783), the patient having their own blood glucose meter (OR =6.916, CI 4.054-11.800) and a higher education level (OR =3.780, CI 1.688-8.466) were significantly associated with SMBG adherence. CONCLUSION Most Chinese patients with T2DM did not perform SMBG as recommended. The treatment of OHAs and diet/exercise, the patient having their own blood glucose meter, a higher education level and other factors were correlates of SMBG adherence. There is clearly a need for prospective, multicenter, large-scale studies to explore the reasons for patients' failure to practice SMBG adherence.

Abstract
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is one of the life-threatening acute complications of diabetes mellitus that mainly occurs in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). This study aimed to determine the socioeconomic factors associated with DKA in patients with T1DM in Basrah. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A cross-sectional study including patients with T1DM who were admitted due to DKA or any other complaint in any of the teaching hospitals in Basrah, from February to October 2017. Data collection from each patient or their parents using a questionnaire was designed to capture personal, social, and disease-related factors. <b><i>Results:</i></b> One hundred forty-seven patients were involved in this study. They were compared with different factors to assess correlations with the risk of DKA. Younger age, underweight, being without a job, low personal and/or mother educational level, travel, home glucose monitoring less than 7 times a week, uncontrolled HbA<sub>1c</sub> and insulin stoppage as a cause of DKA regardless of the reasons to stop were associated with an increased risk of DKA. On the other hand, own home, availability of a glucometer for checking glucose, basal-bolus insulin regimen, insulin supply, and education at a tertiary center, correct injection technique whoever injected the insulin and dietary adherence, all were associated with a decreased risk of DKA. Other factors like gender, marital status, smoking status, father educational level, residency, income, personal home area, the frequency of HbA<sub>1c</sub> checking, and family history of diabetes were not associated with a significant effect on the DKA risk. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Multiple socioeconomic factors interact to play a vital role in the development of DKA among patients with T1DM in Basrah.

Shahbazi H, Ghofranipour F, Amiri P, Rajab A. Factors Affecting Self-Care Performance in Adolescents with Type I Diabetes According to the PEN-3 Cultural Model. Int J Endocrinol Metab 2018; 16:e62582. [PMID: 30464772 PMCID: PMC6216475 DOI: 10.5812/ijem.62582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2017] [Revised: 07/11/2018] [Accepted: 09/05/2018] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adolescence is the most difficult period to control and manage type 1 diabetes (T1D), and various perceptions, enablers, and nurturers influence self-care behaviors in these patients. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting self-care performance in adolescents with T1D, according to the PEN-3 cultural model. METHODS In this study, in-depth interviews were conducted initially with 26 participants, and one group discussion was held with 13 participants. Assessment domains of the PEN-3 model (key influence on health behaviors and impact of behavior on health) guided the analysis of qualitative study and focus group data. Finally, the data were classified to a 3 × 3 table, based on the PEN-3 model. RESULTS The most common positive PEN included awareness of self-care behaviors, attitude towards the disease, impact of spirituality on self-care, easy access to needed medical services, and maternal support. The negative PEN included attitude of patients and parents towards reasons of becoming sick (why me), awareness about the disease and its causes, low self-efficacy, limited training, high cost of blood glucose test strips, lack of educational therapeutic curricula based on spirituality, ignoring the role of spirituality in treatment and self-care, and conflict between parents and patients. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study can be used to guide the development of cultural group therapy interventions aimed at increasing adherence to self-care behaviors among Iranian adolescents with T1D.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus care and education in China: The 3C study of coverage, cost, and care in Beijing and Shantou. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2017; 129:32-42. [PMID: 28500868 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2017.02.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2016] [Revised: 02/16/2017] [Accepted: 02/22/2017] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
AIMS The paucity of data on Type 1 diabetes in China hinders progress in care and policy-making. This study compares Type 1 diabetes care and clinical outcomes in Beijing and Shantou with current clinical guidelines. METHODS The 3C Study was a cross-sectional study of the clinical practices and outcomes of people with Type 1 diabetes. The study sequentially enrolled 849 participants from hospital records, inpatient wards, and outpatient clinics. Data were collected via face-to-face interviews with patients and health professionals, the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities, medical records, and venous blood samples. Care was audited using ISPAD/IDF indicators. Data underwent descriptive analysis and tests for association. RESULTS The median age was 22years (IQR=13-34years), and 48.4% of the sample had diabetes less than six years. The median HbA1c was 8.5% (69mmol/mol) (IQR 7.2-10.5%), with significant regional variance (p=0.002). Insulin treatment was predominantly two injections/day (45% of patients). The highest incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis was 14.4 events/100 patient years among adolescents. Of the 57.3% of patients with LDL-C>2.6mmol/L, only 11.2% received treatment. Of the 10.6% considered hypertensive, 47.1% received treatment. Rates of documented screening for retinopathy, nephropathy, and peripheral neuropathy were 35.2%, 42.3%, and 25.0%, respectively. The median number of days of self-monitoring/week was 3.0 (IQR=1.0-7.0). There were significant differences in care practices across regions. CONCLUSIONS The study documented an overall deficit in care with significant regional differences noted compared to practice guidelines. Modifications to treatment modalities and the structure of care may improve outcomes.
