“…Our data suggest a minimum level of performance of a self-care behavior must be in place in order for stressors to interfere with that behavior. Consistent with previous studies (Tol et al, 2012; Toobert et al, 2000), our sample was more adherent to medications than to general diet. Put another way, the scores in the lowest quartile for medication adherence indicated higher adherence than did the scores in the lowest quartile of general diet.…”

Stressors May Compromise Medication Adherence Among Adults With Diabetes and Low Socioeconomic Status

Studies examining the impact of stressors on diabetes self-care have been limited by focusing on a single stressor or have been largely qualitative. Therefore, we assessed the stressors experienced by a high-risk population with type 2 diabetes, and tested whether having more stressors was associated with less adherence to multiple self-care behaviors. Participants were recruited from a Federally Qualified Health Center and 192 completed a stressors checklist. Experiencing more stressors was associated with less adherence to diet recommendations and medications among participants who were trying to be adherent, but was not associated with adherence to other self-care behaviors. Because having more stressors was also associated with more depressive symptoms, we further adjusted for depressive symptoms; stressors remained associated with less adherence to medications, but not to diet recommendations. For adults engaged in adherence, experiencing numerous chronic stressors presents barriers to adherence that are distinct from associated depressive symptoms.

“…Demographic factors associated with good dietary practices in univariate analysis were being female and within the older age group (>55 years of age), being illiterate, and living in rural areas. Sex has also been shown to be associated with dietary practices in other studies, with females generally showing higher rates of compliance [20] [21]. Age has been shown elsewhere as being a positive predictor of good dietary self-care, which has been suggested to be a result of better disease management practices over time.…”

Background: Self-care is an important, though often neglected, area of type 2 diabetes management in lower and middle income countries (LMICs). In Morocco, whilst the evolution of the disease is increasing rapidly, evidence documenting disease self-care patterns remains scarce. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of self-care activities among patients with type 2 diabetes in Morocco, and to identify the factors associated with good self-care practices. Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of data of 406 patients aged 30 years old and over, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus for at least 6 months. Self-care activities were assessed using the Moroccan version of the Summary of diabetes self-care activities. Studied factors included socio-demographics, disease features and healthcare use. Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios were calculated using logistic regression. Results: Mean age was 55.8 ± 11.6 years old. Females represented 68.7% of the respondents. Mean estimates of the frequency of self-care practices exceeded 3.5 days per week for diet, exercise and foot-care; of these, good dietary behavior was the most prevalent (63.6%). In multivariate analysis, females displayed better dietary behavior (OR = 1.81 [1.27-2.58]), and less frequent foot care (OR = 1.81 [1.27-2.58]) than males. Lower levels of exercise were associated with being female (0.42 [0.26-0.68]), and belonging to the higher income category (0.55 [0.34-0.88]). Residents in rural areas also reported better exercise practices (1.72 [1.07-2.78]). Conclusion: This study draws attention to self-care practices and their determinants in the Moroccan context. Such findings should help in the design, implementation, and evaluation of self-management interventions for people with type 2 diabetes.

Objective:The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of self-care practices in the urban slums of Bengaluru among diabetes and also to assess their sociodemographic risk factors.Materials and Methods:A cross-sectional study was done in the two slums of Bengaluru comprising 163 diabetes patients. The prevalence of self-care practices and their sociodemographic risk was analyzed.Results:Maximum adherence was seen for blood sugar testing (77.91%), and least adherence was seen for diet (12.26%). Adherence to exercise was 30.67%, adherence to foot care was 48.46%, and adherence to medication was 60.73%. Some of the sociodemographic factors associated with good self-care practices are young age, gender, formal education, occupation, and religion. Good adherence to medication is associated with better control of blood sugars.Conclusion:A clinician should be able to identify these risk factors and give special attention to these groups of patients and make realistic recommendations for self-care activities.
