Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between and among diabetes self-care, diabetes time management, and diabetes distress in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods A descriptive correlational design with a total of 188 participants completed 3 valid and reliable instruments to measure the main study variables, the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire, the Diabetes Time Management Questionnaire, and the Diabetes Distress Scale, in an uncontrolled, natural setting using mix-mode surveys (electronic and paper). Survey responses were analyzed using several descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. Results Diabetes time management was the strongest, statistically significant, unique contributor to explaining self-care. The regression model showed that diabetes time management demonstrated a large effect size and that diabetes distress demonstrated a small effect size. Conclusions The 2 predictor variables among diabetes self-care in women showed diabetes time management had a stronger effect size compared to diabetes distress. This is the first known study to measure the influence of diabetes time management on diabetes self-care and to examine the relationship between and among diabetes time management and diabetes distress. Diabetes time management, an understudied variable in individuals with T2DM, has the potential to be a contributor to improve patient outcomes.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the relation between diabetes-related distress and the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study based on a secondary analysis of data collected at a specialized care outpatient center in Brazil. Participants completed a questionnaire on sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and the Brazilian version of the Diabetes Distress Scale (B-DDS). Results: About 31% of the 130 eligible patients reported diabetes distress, and the mean B-DDS score was 2.6. Multiple regression analysis showed the B-DDS score was positively correlated with marital status (p=0.0230), use of diet and physical activities for diabetes management (p=0.0180), and use of insulin therapy (p=0.0030). The “emotional burden”, “regimen-related distress”, and “interpersonal distress” domains from B-DDS were associated with the use of insulin therapy (p=0.0010), marital status (p=0.0110), and the presence of three or more comorbidities (p=0.0175). Conclusion: These findings suggest the clinical and sociodemographic variables are relatively weak predictors of diabetes-related distress. The highest scores in the B-DDS were observed in the emotional burden domain, indicating the presence of diabetes distress among the participants of the study.

Resilience Training

Introduction: Treatment that must continue, control, and diet that must be obeyed by people with DM can cause boredom (burnout) - inability to care for themselves, and blood sugar that is not controlled. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of diabetes resilience training on self-care, glycemic control, and diabetes burnout of adult type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental design. The total samples were 70 respondents (treatment and control) obtained by cluster sampling. The independent variable was diabetes resilience training and dependent variables were self-care, glycemic control, and diabetes burnout. The intervention provided for one month with four meetings. Instrument used self-care questionnaire of Self-Care Inventory-Revised (SCI-R), glycemic control questionnaire used an observation sheet for fasting blood sugar, and diabetes burnout questionnaire used Diabetes Distress-Screening Scale (DDS17). Data were analyzed with Wilcoxon signed ranks test, Mann Whitney U Test, Independent-sample t-test, and 1-Sample K-S. Results: There was an effect of diabetes resilience training on self-care (p = 0.003; p <0.05), glycemic control (p = 0.020; p <0.05), and diabetes burnout (p = 0,000; p <0.05). Conclusions: Diabetes resilience training provided by researchers to respondents can improve good self-care behavior, decreased glycemic control values, and decreased distress (diabetes burnout) in adult type 2 diabetes mellitus.  Based on the results, it is recomandation to nurses and health care provider to implementation the diabetes resilience training regularly.

Distress Scale

This study investigated the association between diabetes complications, diabetes distress, and depressive symptoms in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A total of 600 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were included in this study. Data were collected using the Diabetes Distress Scale and the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire. The results showed that both diabetes complications and diabetes distress were positively associated with depressive symptoms, and diabetes distress attenuated the association between diabetes complications and depressive symptoms. The Sobel test confirmed the mediating effect of diabetes distress. Patients with both diabetes complications and diabetes distress had a higher risk of depressive symptoms than those with diabetes complications or diabetes distress alone. This study indicates that the positive association between diabetes complications and depressive symptoms is persistent and mediated by diabetes distress, and the comorbidity of diabetes complications and diabetes distress has an additive interaction effect on depressive symptoms.

Objective: Comorbidity of diabetes and depression is a critical problem. Decreased glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been demonstrated in depression, but no evidence of a relationship between GDNF and diabetes has been shown. The present studies were designed to investigate the relationship between GDNF and metabolism. Methods: In Study 1, we performed a case-control study in which subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), prediabetes (p-DM), and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were included. In Study 2, we performed a cross-sectional study in 296 patients having pre-existing diabetes in whom the levels of serum GDNF, blood glucose, blood lipids, blood pressure, body mass index, scores from the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), the EuroQol-5 scale, and the diabetes distress scale were measured, as well as single-nucleotide polymorphisms of GDNF including rs884344, rs3812047, and rs2075680. Results: In Study 1, serum GDNF concentration was significantly lower in the T2DM group than in the NGT group (NGT: 11.706 ± 3.918 pg/mL; p-DM: 10.736 ± 3.722 pg/mL; type 2 diabetes mellitus [T2DM group]: 9.884 ± 2.804 pg/mL, P = .008). In Study 2, significantly decreased serum GDNF levels were observed in subjects with poor glycemic control or depression (glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] <7.0% without depression: 11.524 ± 2.903 pg/mL; HbA1c ≥7.0% without depression: 10.625 ± 2.577 pg/mL; HbA1c <7.0% with depression: 10.355 ± 2.432 pg/mL; HbA1c ≥7.0% with depression: 8.824 ± 2.102 pg/mL, P = .008). Double-factor variance analysis showed that glycemic control and depression were independent factors for the GDNF level. Moreover, the serum GDNF level was significantly inversely associated with the fasting plasma glucose, 2 hours postprandial plasma glucose, HbA1c, and PHQ-9 score. Conclusion: Glycemic dysregulation was an independent factor for the GDNF level. These findings suggest that GDNF level might be involved in the pathophysiology of T2DM and depression through various pathways.

Background: Self-care is essential for the prevention of complications in patients with diabetes, but several authors report that even with health education programs, the incidence of complications in patients with diabetes continues to increase. Objective: We aimed to examine adherence to self-care strategies and the repercussions of adherence on the clinical profiles of individuals with type 2 diabetes. Methods: We performed a systematic review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. We searched for related studies in 4 databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Latin American and Caribbean Health Science Literature (LILACS). We included observational studies in English and Portuguese that evaluated the effects of selfcare in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Results: The search resulted in the identification of 615 articles, of which 34 met all the inclusion criteria. General self-care was considered unsatisfactory. Physical exercise was classified as the self-care activity that was performed less frequently by individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus; adherence to medication was the most frequent behavior among volunteers. Conclusion: The studies indicated poor adherence of the population to good self-care practices, reflected by the increase in complications related to DM.
