“…We observed a trend where high social support was associated with better self‐management among women; the level of social support did not appear to be associated with self‐management among men. This is consistent with previous literature, whereby benefits derived from social support varied by gender, likely as a result of cultural and situational context (Al‐Dwaikat et al, 2020 ). For example, a qualitative study revealed that women tended to report greater influence from a wider group of people in their social support networks, since they were more likely than men to disclose their diabetes to others (Mathew et al, 2012 ).…”

Aims To characterize differences in psychosocial variables between inner‐city African American men and women with type 2 diabetes, and to test if the relationships between psychosocial variables and diabetes self‐management behaviours differ by gender. Design Secondary analysis. Methods We used baseline data from participants enrolled in the Prevention through Lifestyle Intervention and Numeracy 4 Success‐Diabetes study ( N = 37). Differences in psychosocial variables between genders were compared using chi‐square tests. A two‐way analysis of variance was then used to compare self‐management scores by different psychosocial characteristics and gender. Results There was no statistically significant difference in psychosocial characteristics between genders. High diabetes knowledge and self‐efficacy were associated with better self‐management behaviours in African American women but not in men. In contrast, high numeracy was associated with better diabetes self‐management only in men. Low depression, high health literacy, and high social support were associated with better self‐management practices in both genders.

“…It is generally believed that social support is an important aspect of psychological adjustment in previous study [ 55 ]. Moreover, previous study’s have shown that social support had an indirect correlation with the psychological health of diabetic patients [ 56 ]. Also, in Kaholokula study, DR patients with a lower social support and a worse physical health are likely to experience a high probability of depression [ 57 ].…”

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the mental health among patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and to explore its’ influencing factors. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Liaoning Province, China. A total of 200 patients volunteered to participate in the survey. Psycho-social variables included stress, self-efficacy, resilience, and social support. logistic regression analysis was used to explore the effect of psycho-social factors on depression and anxiety in DR patients. The prevalence of depression and anxiety was 25% and 13.5% among DR patients. Regression analysis showed that social support had a significant protective effect on depression (95%CI 0.931–0.997) and anxiety (95%CI 0.900–0.995). Stress had a significant acceleration of depression (95%CI 1.055–1.253) and anxiety (95%CI 1.120–1.457). Family history of diabetes (95%CI 1.856–18.057) and other chronic diseases (95%CI 1.485–12.508) were risk factors for anxiety. The high prevalence of depression (25.0%) and anxiety (13.5%) among DR patients should receive more attention in Chinese medical settings. Stress, social support, family history of diabetes and other chronic diseases seemed to be crucial in relation to depressive symptoms. Efficient interventions such as improving social support and decreasing stress with patients should be considered by health administrators aiming at alleviating depressive and anxiety among Chinese DR patients.

“…Self-efficacy is an important mediator between social support and health. Integrated interventions of promoting perceived social support may be effective in enhancing self-efficacy [ 46 ]. Elderly people face life adversities, poor social support, and limited access to health services, which may affect their health self-efficacy [ 47 ].…”

Association between dependency on community resources and social support among elderly people living in rural areas in China: a cross-sectional study

et al. 2022

Background The prevalence of dependency personality disorder (DPD) is high among elderly people living in rural areas. This study aims to explore the association between dependency on community resources and social support among elderly individuals living in rural areas. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in 26 locations in China. A total of 1160 participants aged ≥ 60 years were selected using a complex multistage sampling design. All data were obtained using questionnaires via face-to-face interviews. DPD was measured using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-II in the standardized Chinese version. Self-efficacy was assessed using the Chinese version of the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Social support was measured using the Chinese version of the questionnaires of the Older American Resources and Services scale. Community services and resources comprised 44 items. The association between DPD and levels of social support and self-efficacy was evaluated using a logistic regression model. The association between social support and self-efficacy was assessed using analysis of covariance. Results Univariate analysis results showed that elderly people living in rural areas had higher DPD scores and lower levels of self-efficacy compared with those living in urban areas (P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that DPD was positively associated with the received frequencies of community health service, contracted family doctor services, and regular lectures on health knowledge among the elderly people with odd ratios of 1.58 (P < 0.001), 2.03 (P = 0.013), and 2.67 (P = 0.005), respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed significant interaction between social support and self-efficacy effect on DPD was found in the additive model (P < 0.001). Conclusion DPD was associated mainly with the community resources among elderly people living in rural areas. Social support and self-efficacy were commonly associated with DPD through a synergistic effect. These results suggest that DPD among elderly people may be reduced through effective social support to directly and indirectly promote the elderly’s use of community resources and improve their self-efficacy.
