“…The reported unhealthy diet in Emirati women was also reflected in the unfavourably high BMI values extracted from the participants' medical records: 29% of participants were overweight, and as much as 67% were obese, a troubling observation. The BMI values of the Emirati participants were even higher than those previously reported from the same clinic [114,216], and neighbouring Gulf countries [246,247]. As mentioned previously in the Introduction, T2DM associated with obesity is a major public health concern, and in many patient groups similar to our participants, these conditions have reached an almost epidemic order of magnitude [8,9,248].…”

The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) among Pakistani women in Norway is remarkably high. This study aims to assess how they live with the disease and their response to lifestyle and medical information. 120 Pakistani women living in Norway (mean age: 55.7 years) were personally interviewed about their T2D using a structured questionnaire (response rate: 95%). The participants were first-generation immigrants (mean residence time: 28.7 years) of whom 27% were illiterates. Poor health was reported by one-third, and 71% had developed macrovascular comorbidities. A majority reported physical inactivity and an unhealthy diet included religious fasting. One-third was not able to self-measure their blood glucose. There was a great variation in antidiabetic drug regimens and one-fourth had to use insulin in addition to tablets. Pakistani women in Norway showed suboptimal control of their T2D in terms of lifestyle habits, comorbidities and drug use. Low literacy and cultural factors seem to challenge adherence to lifestyle and medical information.

“…This finding is transverse to other studies in populations with the same age and the same diagnosis (Aveiro, Santiago, Pereira, & Simões, 2015;Sousa et al, 2017). There was an improvement in their self-efficacy perceptions in the experimental group, presenting statistically significant results, which could impact the therapeutic regimen management significantly (Chen et al, 2015;Cortez et al, 2017;Funnell et al, 2007;Saad et al, 2017;Sousa et al, 2017). This leads to the belief that the participants of the educational program obtained a higher psychosocial self-efficacy perception than those who did not participate.…”

“…The health beliefs are one of the main focal points to address in disease self-management programs in patients with DM. According to Saad et al (2017), self-efficacy beliefs directly influence therapeutic adherence because a greater self-efficacy perception is associated with a higher incidence of self-care behaviors. Bandura (1989) defines self-efficacy as the belief that a person can perform the desired behavior successfully to produce the desired results, and is capable of controlling his/her motivation, thought processes, and behavior patterns.…”

Background: Studies suggest that empowerment-based educational models, implemented in patients with diabetes, may encourage the improvement of perceived self-efficacy. This variable is considered relevant in the therapeutic regimen self-management. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of an empowerment-based educational program in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methodology: A quasi-experimental study, with two different evaluation moments, with a 6-week interval. A randomized sample of 42 participants (experimental group = 19; control group = 23), registered in a family health unit of the ARS of Central Portugal. The Diabetes Empowerment Scale-Short Form (DES-SF) was the instrument chosen to determine the program's effectiveness. All formal and ethical procedures were assured. Results: Patients subjected to the empowerment-based educational program presented a higher self-efficacy perception (p = 0.000) than those who followed the regular surveillance protocol. Conclusion: Empowerment-based educational programs seem to contribute to an improvement in perceived self-efficacy and should, therefore, be used as an educational strategy for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

“…In the United States, Warren‐Findlow, Seymour, and Brunner () found that African American adults with good self‐efficacy were more likely to perform certain hypertension self‐care behaviours such as medication adherence and physical activity. A research study conducted by Saad et al () on men and women with diabetes in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, reported self‐efficacy to be significantly associated with self‐care behaviours such as diet, physical activity, blood sugar testing, and medication adherence behaviours. However, the authors conducted the study at a rehabilitation hospital designed to restore health condition and function caused by acute illness.…”

“…The hypertension behaviours include medication adherence, physical exercise, healthy diet, smoking cessation, weight reduction, self‐monitoring, regular doctor visits, stress reduction, and reduced alcohol consumption (National Institute of Health, ). Another concept, self‐efficacy, refers to a person's belief and confidence in his or her own ability to perform specific actions (Bandura, ); self‐efficacy promotes engagement in healthy self‐care behaviours (Saad et al, ).…”

Background: Self-efficacy and family social support are significantly associated with hypertension self-care behaviours. However, little is known about their mechanism in Saudi Arabia. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the relationships among family social support, self-efficacy, and self-care behaviours among men with hypertension in Saudi Arabia.Methods: Data were collected from May to August of 2018. The Hypertension Self-Care Profile and the Perceived Social Support from Friends and Family scales were used to measure the study variables. Multiple linear regression was used to analyse the relationships between the variables, and the Baron and Kenny test was used to assess if self-efficacy mediated the relationship between family social support and hypertension self-care behaviours. Results: Respondents (N = 158) from the Jizan and Al-Sharqia regions of SaudiArabia completed the survey. Family social support and self-efficacy were significantly associated with hypertension self-care behaviours. In regression, self-efficacy was the only variable significantly associated with hypertension self-care behaviours.Self-efficacy fully mediated the relationship between family social support and hypertension self-care behaviours. Conclusions: Interventions to enhance hypertension self-care behaviours amongSaudi men could focus on increasing individual's self-confidence to perform specific healthy behaviours. Family support can also contribute to the performance of hypertension self-care behaviours.
