“…Our results also support the strong positive relationship between self‐efficacy and self‐care behaviors found in previous studies (Sarkar et al, ; Sousa, Zauszniewski, Musil, Lea, & Davis, ; Wu et al, ). Self‐efficacy together with marital status explained 16.7% of the variance in self‐care behaviors.…”

“…Lastly, risk perception components were not related to follow-up glycemic control. Self-care behaviors are often viewed as important predictors of glycemic control [42,43] and given the inconsistencies between risk perception and self-care behavior, it is probable that the pathway from risk perception to glycemic control involves other factors. Additionally, the ethnic and socio-economic diversity of the current sample may have played a role in the modest findings, as the previous literature demonstrating relationships between risk perceptions and health behaviors have been conducted in more suburban areas with well-educated participants [4,31].…”

Risk Perception and Self-Management in Urban, Diverse Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: The Improving Diabetes Outcomes Study

Purpose The relationship between risk perceptions and diabetes self-care remains ambiguous. This study aimed to assess baseline, one-year follow-up and change score relationships among perceived risk, diabetes self-care and glycemic control for adult individuals participating in a behavioral intervention that improved glycemic control relative to the active control. Methods One-year randomized trial compared a behavioral telephonic intervention with a print only intervention. Participants (N = 526): members of a union/employer sponsored health benefit plan, HbA1c ≥ 7.5%, prescribed at least one oral diabetes medication. Participants rated perceived risk of diabetes and its complications and diabetes self-care at baseline and one year. Data were collected in a large urban area in the United States. Results There were no relationships between risk perceptions and glycemic control during the study. Baseline perceived risk predicted follow-up self-care. Additionally, participants assigned to the intervention group showed significant changes in dietary and exercise adherence at high levels of risk knowledge and low levels of optimistic bias. Conclusions Perceived risk relates to dietary, exercise and medication adherence in diabetes. The perceived risk construct might foster a more coherent conceptualization of the relationship between one’s diabetes, possible complications, and diabetes self-care behaviors.

“…Positive psychosocial variables have been found to influence the psychological adjustment and physical health of diabetes patients (Fournier, De Ridder, & Bensing, 2002; Johnston-Brooks, Lewis, & Garg, 2002; Sousa, Zauszniewski, Musil, Price Lea, & Davis, 2005). One such construct, resilience, defined as an individual's capacity to maintain psychological and physical well-being in the face of adversity, has flourished across many disciplines of psychology and health because of the rising popularity of positive psychology in these areas.…”

A person‐focused analysis of resilience resources and coping in patients with diabetes

et al. 2009

This study investigated the resilience resources and coping profiles of diabetes patients. A total of 145 patients with diabetes completed a questionnaire packet including two measurements of coping (COPE and Coping Styles questionnaires), and personal resources. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was also assessed. Resilience was defined by a factor score derived from measures of self-esteem, self-efficacy, self-mastery, and optimism. All of the maladaptive coping subscales were negatively associated with resilience (r's range from −.34 to −.56, all p's <.001). Of the adaptive coping subscales, only acceptance, emotional support, and pragmatism were positively associated with resilience. The upper, middle, and lower tertiles of the resilience factor were identified and the coping profiles of these groups differed significantly, with low resilience patients favoring maladaptive strategies much more than those with high or moderate resilience resources. Resilience groups did not differ in HbA1c levels; correlation coefficients of the coping subscales with HbA1c were explored. This study demonstrates a link between maladaptive coping and low resilience, suggesting that resilience impacts one's ability to manage the difficult treatment and lifestyle requirements of diabetes.
