“…High levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) [1][2][3], body weight [2], and diabetes complications [4][5][6] were reported to be associated with less treatment satisfaction. Several other factors, such as visits to hospitals rather than primary health care centers [5], difficulties in attending follow-up clinic visits [4], and insulin treatment [3] also correlate with less treat-ment satisfaction. In the insulin-treated patients, selfmonitoring of blood glucose and self-management of insulin doses are associated with higher treatment satisfaction [3].…”

“…Pacijenti sa višom ivisokom školom (DTSQ skor:5,44 ± 0,37 i 4,77 ± 1,00) bili su zadovoljniji terapijom u odnosu na ispitanike sa isključivo osmogodiš-njim obrazovanjem (4,48 ± 0,68, p = 0,025). Do istog zaključka došli su i naučnici studije sprovedene u Italiji (13). Obrazovni nivo u korelaciji je sa većim primanjima, boljim životnim standardom i boljim prilikama.…”

“…Međutim, opsežna studija sprovedena u Italiji, bazirana na upitnicima koje su popunjavali pacijenti, istorijama bolesti i razgovorima sa samim lekarima, iznela je slične zaključke.

Introduction: Treatment of diabetes is complex and includes lifestyle intervention and pharmacologicalmanagement. Treatment satisfaction is a significant factor in improving health care. Special importance is given to diabetes because of its need for lifelong therapy.Aim: To determine the influence of certain socio-demographic and clinical factors on treatment satisfaction of patients with type 2 diabetes.Material and methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 40 consecutive outpatients. Data was collected through two questionnaires. The first questionnaire consisted of socio-demographic and clinical data. The second one was a standardized Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQs).Results: Of the studied patients, the majority were women (52,5%), patients in their sixties (55%), patients who only finished high school (55%), patients who were using insulinand OAD (50%), as well as patients who have developed chronic diabetic complications (80%). It was observed that treatment satisfaction among patients who have had diabetes for longer than twenty years was significantly lower than among those who have been treated for diabetes for less than ten years (4,30 ± 0,77 vs. 4,99 ± 0,63, p = 0,046). Patients who were taking tablets were significantly more satisfied with treatment (5,35 ± 0,38, p ˂ 0,001). Patients withoutany diabetic complication were significantly more satisfied with the treatment than those who have developed at least one diabetic complication (5,19 ± 0,87 vs. 4,59 ± 0,57, p = 0,023). Multiple regression analysis revealed that elementary education(p = 0,037), insulin (p ˂ 0,001) and any diabetic complication (p = 0,007) were independently associated with lower treatment satisfaction.Conclusion: Using DTSQ we noticed important socio-demographic and clinical factors that influence the satisfaction with the current therapy. Low educational level, insulin, having any diabetic complication and diabetes duration were associated with lower treatment satisfaction. Having identified this vulnerable group, we must place emphasis on the need of providing additional attention and assistance to these patients, in order to improve their health and clinical outcome.

In the largest study of diverse SLE patients with a disease specific QOL tool, gender differences in QOL were observed on both HRQOL and non-HRQOL constructs. While men performed worse in the social support domain, women, especially those in the reproductive age group, fared worse on other domains. These observations may assist physicians in appropriately addressing QOL issues in a gender focused manner. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
