“…Protection motivation with 1 question ("I intend to adhere to the recommended precaution until the end of the COVID-19 pandemic") was measured based on a 5-point Likert-type scale from strongly agree (5) to strongly disagree (1). Preventive behavior against COVID-19 was evaluated with 5 questions (e.g., using a mask) on a three-point scale of never (0), sometimes (1), and always (2). In this study, the threat evaluation score was estimated by summing the perceived sensitivity and severity scores.…”

“…In the new millennium, people are exposed to serious health challenges such as the growing trend of noncommunicable diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and diabetes (1). The World Health Organization (WHO) states that there is a clear epidemic of diabetes strongly related to changes in the patient's lifestyle and economic status (2). According to WHO reports, the number of people with diabetes will increase from 200 million in 2000 to 592 million in 2035, with the highest prevalence in developing countries such as the Middle East nations.…”

Background: Recent data from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) confirm that diabetes, along with advanced age, is an important risk factor for adverse prognosis. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the status of COVID-19 prevention behaviors and related beliefs among diabetic patients in Hamadan province using protection motivation theory (PMT). Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from April to September 2020. The research population included all diabetics, of whom 355 patients, who referred to an adult endocrinologist in Hamadan, were selected using the convenience sampling method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire with demographic variables and PMT constructs. Data were analyzed by SPSS 22 using descriptive statistics, correlation, and logistic regression. Results: According to the result, the PMT construct explained 15% of the variance in the frequency of the intention to perform preventive behaviors. Perceived sensitivity (β=-0.128), perceived response efficiency (β=0.140), and perceived response cost (β=0.386) were the best significant predictors of behavior (P<0.05). There was a significant relationship between gender (P<0.001), marital status (P<0.001), and level of education (P=0.040) in observing preventive behaviors. Conclusion: It is necessary to enhance the levels of awareness and self-efficacy of diabetic patients to reduce fear in this at-risk group. Further, it is appropriate to use PMT to promote preventive behaviors.

“…Also, diabetes is a major contributing factor for coronary heart disease. The diabetes combined with coronary heart disease reports more difficulty to control and the dangerousness vs. coronary heart disease alone [ 5 ]. In recent years, the morbidity and mortality of coronary heart disease have witnessed a rising trend.…”

Objective. To study and explore the effect of double-heart nursing combined with seaweed polysaccharide on improving the self-efficacy and quality of life of patients with coronary heart disease and diabetes. Methods. Eligible 214 patients with coronary heart disease and diabetes who were diagnosed and treated in our hospital between year 2017 and 2020 were randomized at a ratio of 1 : 1 to either control group (seaweed polysaccharide) or observation group (double-heart nursing combined with seaweed polysaccharide). The self-efficacy and quality of life of the two groups of patients after treatment were compared. Results. The observation group reported a lower blood glucose level after treatment vs. the control group [( 6.28 ± 4.49 / 8.24 ± 2.01 ) vs. ( 7.74 ± 4.18 / 11.41 ± 3.12 )] ( p < 0.05 ); a lower incidence of lesions in the observation group versus the control group after treatment ( p < 0.05 ); and significantly lower SAS and SDS scores of the observation group vs. the control group was observed [( 41.27 ± 4.08 / 43.81 ± 2.93 ) vs. ( 62.74 ± 3.48 / 61.58 ± 3.85 )] ( p < 0.05 ). Regarding the self-efficacy, the observation group was superior to the control group after treatment ( p < 0.05 ). The treatment with double-heart nursing combined with seaweed polysaccharide was associated with the improvement of the quality of life with respect to social function, psychological function, and material life (each p < 0.05 ). The observation obtained a significantly higher satisfaction rate in comparison with the control group [107 (98.13%) vs.95 (88.80%)] ( p < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Seaweed polysaccharide and double-heart nursing might be practical in improving the self-efficacy and quality of life of patients with coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus, compared with conventional clinical treatment alone.
