“…There are many depression assessment scales for the application of diabetes at home and abroad, but unfortunately it has not been used clinically. Therefore, it is recommended that diabetics be able to evaluate depression using a highly reliable and effective depression assessment scale, and I believe there will be benefits for the disease control of diabetes [20,21].…”

The prevalence rate of diabetes is very high in Taiwan that poses a serious threat to the health of people. Patients’ physical and psychosocial factors always have an impact on the treatment results. However, this issues have not been extensively discussed in previous researches. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of sociopsychological factors on the care outcomes of Type 2 diabetes. The study is a descriptive and correlation design; Instruments included a basic information form, Social Support Scale, Chinese version of Patient Health and Depression Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale, and Health-related Quality of Life Scale.The analysis methods included descriptive statistics, independent-sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, multiple linear regression, and binary logistic regression. The sample consisted of 133 patients. Results showed, depression is significantly negatively related to social support (r=-0.27, p<.05), psychological distress is significantly negatively related to social support (r=-0.21, p<.05), psychological distress is significantly positively related to depression (r=0.85, p<.01), quality of life is significantly negatively related to depression (r=- 0.64, p<.01) and psychological distress (r=-0.59, p <.01). Continuous outcome variables are analyzed using regression analysis, depression and economic independence jointly explained 32.1% of variance in the physical aspect of quality of life (27.9% by depression and 4.2% by economic independence). Depression and psychological distress jointly explained 61.3% of variance in the psychological aspect of quality of life (59% by depression and 2.3% by psychological distress). Economic dependence on others explained 3.1% of variance in the number of hospital stays. Depression explained 3.7% of variance in the number of emergency department visits. Education level explained 4.3% of variance in the number of complications. Categorical outcome variables are analyzed using binary logistic regression, ducation has a significant effect on average glucose level over the last year (p>.03). Depression has a significant effect on both the last HbA1c level (p<.05) and average glucose level over the last year (p>.03). Results of this study suggest that when providing clinical care to diabetes, nurses should also consider the effects of socio-psychological factors on the care outcomes and provide necessary counseling and treatment of depression to enhance the effectiveness of care.

“…These negative impacts of hyperglycaemia increase risk of falls. Additionally, hypoglycemic that has been reported to increase the risk of falls is more common in OWD (Chevalier et al., 2016; Kachroo et al., 2015). OWD have increased risk of falls because of the simultaneously existing ageing and diabetes.…”

Aims To explore the risk factors of falls and the gender differences based on demographic and disease characteristics, physical capability, and fear of falling in older adults with diabetes visiting outpatient clinics in Taiwan. Design Cross‐sectional design. Methods A total of 485 patients with type 2 diabetes aged between 65 and 80 years were recruited from three endocrine outpatient clinics in Taiwan. Demographic and disease characteristics, fall history in the previous one year and fear of falling were collected by a self‐reported questionnaire. Calf circumference, handgrip strength, one‐leg standing and time up‐and‐go tests were all performed to assess the physical capability of participants. Data were collected from May 2019 to May 2020. Results Female gender (OR = 1.75), handgrip strength (OR = 2.43) and fear of falling (OR = 3.38) were important risk factors of falls overall, although fear of falling (OR = 4.69) was the only important risk factor of falls in males, while handgrip strength (OR = 3.48) and fear of falling (OR = 2.86) were important risk factors of falls in females. The sensitivity of simultaneous screening handgrip strength and fear of falling were 85.7, 86.4 and 86.2 in males, females and older adults overall with diabetes, respectively. Conclusion Fear of falling was an important risk factor of falls in both genders, especially in males. Handgrip strength was an important risk factor of falls specifically for females. By simultaneously screening fear of falling and handgrip strength, risk of falls in older adults with diabetes at outpatient clinics could be identified in a more timely manner. Impact Nurses could periodically and simultaneously assess fear of falling and handgrip strength of older adults with diabetes at outpatient clinics. For those are identified at risk of falls on either fear of falling or handgrip strength, nurses could provide corresponding interventions to reduce the fear of falling or improve muscle strength to prevent such falls.
