Self-efficacy is an individual's assessment of the ability to complete a given task. Diabetes self-efficacy is required to improve the outcome of diabetes management. This study aims to assess the ability of self-efficacy in diabetic patients using Diabetes Management Self Efficacy (DMSE). The research design used is descriptive method. The study was conducted at the Internal Medicine Polyclinic of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta with 60 samples of type 2 diabetes patients using consecutive sampling technique. The measuring instruments used were demographic characteristics and Diabetes Management Self Efficacy (DSME). The results showed the characteristics of the respondents in the study were 57% women, the highest education was high school respondents (33%), the most complications were diabetic retinopathy (38%). Based on the mean age of type 2 diabetes respondents, namely 57.60 years, the average length of diabetes was 11.40 years, and the mean self-efficacy score was 59.0. Assessment of self-efficacy using DMSE can be used to assess self-efficacy in type 2 diabetes, so that it can make it easier for nurses to educate and counsel patients with type 2 diabetes related to self-efficacy so that it can improve selfmanagement in type 2 diabetes patients.

Abstract Background It has previously been established that patients who have strong barriers to their diet self-management are more likely to have weak social support; however, the key mechanisms underlying the association between these two variables have not yet been established. This study aims to examine the potential role that diet self-efficacy plays in the relationship between social support and diet behavior in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods It was a cross-sectional survey. Three hundred-eighty patients diagnosed with T2DM were recruited for this study from five community health centers in China. The Chronic Disease Resource Scale (CIRS), Cardiac Diet Self-efficacy Scale (CDSE), and Food Control Behavior Scale (FCBS) were used to estimate participants’ utilization of social resources, diet self-efficacy, and diet self-management, respectively. The data were analyzed utilizing structural equation modelling. Results The results suggest that both higher levels of social support and diet self-efficacy are related to higher levels of diet self-management. The mediating effect that diet self-efficacy has on the relationship between social support and diet self-management was significant (β = .30, p < .05), explaining 55.68% of the total effect of social support on diet self-management. Conclusions Diet self-efficacy plays a mediating role in the association between social support and diet behavior in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Purpose: The prevalence of diabetes and the personal and national burden from diabetes, a serious health issue around the globe, continues to increase. The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing self-care among patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive survey of 118 outpatients with type 2 diabetes in national university hospital C in Korea. Data were collected from self-report questionnaires covering information on demographics, self-care, and self-efficacy. Additional data were collected from medical records including information on HbA1c, fasting blood glucose levels, and cholesterol levels. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression using SPSS/WIN version 22.0 software. Results: Factors affecting self-care were the following four: self-efficacy, HbA1c, occupation status, and smoking status. Higher engagement in self-care was associated with higher self-efficacy (β = .53, p < .001), lower HbA1c (β = -0.33, p < .001), unemployment (β = -0.20, p < .001), and non-smoking status (β = -0.15, p = .011). The regression model of self-care among the type 2 diabetes patients was statistically significant (F = 67.15, p < .001), and the explanatory power of the adjusted R2 was 69%. Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes patients with high self-efficacy and self-care scores showed good glycemic control. Therefore, this finding suggests that nursing interventions should be developed to enhance self-efficacy, which is the greatest influencing factor for self-care.

AbstractIntroductionAccording to diabetes care standards nutrition therapy should be an integral part of diabetes management, and all individuals with diabetes should be referred to a registered dietitian for nutrition therapy at—or soon after—diagnosis and for ongoing follow-up. There is limited international data that indicate that a large percentage of people with diabetes have not received structured diabetes education and have not visited a dietitian. The aim of this study was to assess the involvement of dietitians in diabetes care in Greece.Materials and MethodsAll adult diabetic patients admitted to a secondary care general hospital in Greece during 30 consecutive days were included in the study. Patients admitted in the ICU, CICU, day clinics and hemodialysis patients were excluded. Data were obtained by personal interviews using a 40 item questionnaire which included 10 questions regarding number of visits to dietitians for diabetes management, whether patients were referred by their doctors or sought dietary advice by their own, reasons for visiting a dietitian, goal achievement and patient satisfaction.ResultsIn total 124 patients (68 males and 56 females) with diabetes were admitted to the hospital during the study period (4 type 1, 114 type 2 and 6 pregnancy diabetes). Data were obtained from 3 (22.8 ± 6 yrs, 26.1 ± 5.7kg/m2,8.3 ± 5.9 yrs with diabetes),105 (76.6 ± 11.3 yrs, 28.0 ± 5.3 kg/m2, 12.8 ± 9.3 yrs with diabetes), and 5 (32.6 ± 4.4 yrs, 28.5 ± 4.0 kg/m2) patients with type 1, type 2 and pregnancy diabetes respectively. Two out of 3 type 1 diabetes and 1 out of 5 patients with pregnancy diabetes interviewed reported to have been referred to a dietitian by their doctor. Only 5.7% (6 patients) of type 2 diabetes patients reported to have been referred to a dietitian by their doctor and another 5.7% have visited a dietitian on their own initiative. Five out of 6 referrals were at diabetes diagnosis. The number of encounters with a dietitian ranged from 1 to 24 with patients seeking to loose weight having the greater number of encounters. Of type 2 diabetes patients 94.3% did not receive lifestyle advice before commencing diabetes medication whereas 25% did not receive any dietary advice by any health professional even after starting medication.ConclusionsIn our cohort the majority of diabetes patients had not received dietary counseling by a dietitian, whereas about one fourth of type 2 diabetes patients had not received any dietary advice.

Abstract Objective Diabetes is a prevalent chronic illness that can impact Executive Functioning (EF). Adherence to treatment is an important aspect in diabetes management however little published research addresses the relationship between adherence and EF in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The objectives of this study are: compare the levels of adherence and EF between T2DM and a control group. Analyze the relationship between adherence and EF in individuals with T2DM. Method The present study included 10 participants with T2DM and 10 control participants with Hypertension (HTN) all between the ages of 61–76. Participants were recruited through “Casa del Abue” a public center offering medical/social services to geriatric populations in Puebla, México. Neuropsychological Battery of Executive Functions and Frontal Lobes was administered to all participants, along with adherence measures specific to diagnosis: Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities or Hypertension Self-Care Activity Level Effects. Informed consent was obtained prior to participation. Results Results show significant differences in adherence between T2DM and HTN U = 1.0 p = &lt; 0.001 and also between groups in EF measures related to medial Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) U = 21.0 p = &lt; 0.05. The relationship between adherence and EF in T2DM participants was moderately correlated r(10) = 0.32, p = 0.36. Descriptive statistics found in Table 1. Conclusion T2DM participants demonstrate significantly lower adherence levels and deficits in EF compared to the control group as expected. Given only a moderate correlation between adherence and EF was found, further research including a larger sample and more precise adherence measures such as HbA1c is suggested to further understand this relationship.
