Characteristics of Patients, Self-Efficacy and Quality of Life among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus as a chronic disease requires a long-term care, which influence the quality of life (QOL). A mechanism perceived by the patients who engage in long-term treatment, such as self-efficacy (SE) is prerequisite for the success of disease management. The study aimed to identify the relationship between characteristics of patients, SE and domains of QOL among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) living in community.The study used a correlational analytical with a cross-sectional approach and recruited 105 patients with type 2 diabetes in Sukasari Public Health Center, Tangerang. Self-administered questionnaires were used to measure sociodemographic of T2DM patients, while the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES) UK and Asian Diabetes Quality of Life (Asian DQOL) were used to measure SF and QOL, respectively. Data were analyzed using Spearman Rank-Order Correlation. The study revealed that characteristics of patients, including age and period of illness were negatively associated with memory and cognition domains of QOL, while years of education positively associated interpersonal relationship domains of QOL. For SE, it was positively significant associated with diet habit, energy, and financial aspects domains of QOL. The SE was positively associated with the QOL (r=0.31; p-value ≤ 0.01). The SE is relationship with QOL of T2DM. Therefore, health care provider should need to maintain the domains of QOL through improving SE, while considering the characteristics of T2DM patients, including age, period of illness, and years of education.

The relationship between patient empowerment and related constructs, affective symptoms and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…After removing duplicates, 1557 records were screened by title and abstract and 191 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility. Five additional records were identified through manual searches ( 50 , 80 ) and citation list ( 62 , 104 , 110 ). Seventy-one studies were finally included: sixty-one cross-sectional studies ( 34 , 35 , 44 , 45 , 47 – 69 , 71 – 78 , 80 , 83 – 88 , 91 – 97 , 99 – 102 , 104 – 111 ), five observational prospective studies ( 36 , 70 , 81 , 82 , 89 ), four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) ( 79 , 90 , 98 , 103 ) and one pre-post intervention study ( 46 ).…”

“…Twenty-two studies ( n = 5,005) ( 44 – 46 , 49 , 51 , 52 , 56 , 68 , 70 , 72 , 74 , 79 , 81 , 82 , 84 , 85 , 91 , 95 , 98 – 100 , 104 ) evaluated the relationship between empowerment-related constructs and general QoL in patients with T2DM. Specific patient empowerment scales were used in six studies ( 44 – 46 , 49 , 51 , 52 ) while self-efficacy was used in the remaining sixteen studies ( 56 , 68 , 70 , 72 , 74 , 79 , 81 , 82 , 84 , 85 , 91 , 95 , 98 – 100 , 104 ). One study ( 44 ) used ANOVA to quantify this association and was not included in the MA.…”

Quality of Life in Married Women: Religiosity and Psychological Immune System as Predictors

“…Peters et al (2019) researched medical case patients and reported that individuals with low self-efficacy and a higher disease burden tend to have a lower quality of life. Additionally, research by Winahyu et al (2019) on diabetes Mellitus patients showed a significant relationship between self-efficacy and quality of life domain. It was observed that increased perceived selfefficacy among patients was associated with higher scores in quality of life domain.…”

“…Penelitian ini di dukung juga oleh (Dionita, 2016) menunjukan hasil signifikasi (p=0,334) serta (p=0,105) pada hubungan efikasi diri dan aktifitas fisik bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan antara efikasi diri dengan aktifitas fisik. Namun, penelitian saat ini tidak konsisten dengan studi terdahulu pada klien dengan penyakit kronik lain (Winahyu et al, 2019).…”
