“…All these studies that analysed complications as a risk factor confirmed their significant negative impact. The link between the presence of coronary artery disease, particularly angina pectoris, with worse scores in all segments of SF-36 questionnaire was confirmed in many studies (6,(10)(11)(12). The study conducted by Lloyd et al showed that coronary heart-disease is usually connected with a significant reduction in QOL, particularly in the area of physical health (28).…”

“…Macrovascular complications such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular disease result in physical disability and decreased HRQOL in these patients. A number of studies have shown that microvascular complications such as nephropathy, retinopathy and diabetic foot play a crucial role in patients' decreased physical and mental well-being (11)(12)(13)(14). Lower health-related scores are associated with these conditions.…”

Our results showed that both socioeconomic and chronic complications are relevant factors of HRQOL in type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Age, rural lifestyle, retirement, lower level of education and low socioeconomic status, as well as DM complications (angina pectoris, hearth failure, diabetes nephropathy, and diabetes retinopathy) were found to be independent risk factors for the component scores of SF-36 and EQ-VAS score. Taking into consideration the results obtained, health practitioners should be aware not only of the clinical parameters of patients with DM, but also of their educational level and working status.

“…Participants with longer duration of diabetes may have developed better adaptation strategies to self-manage diabetes compared to those with shorter duration of diabet (Alrahbi, 2014). Abubakari, Cousins, Thomas, Sharma and Naderali (2016) Therefore, health check/follow-up are quite important in evaluation of selfmanagement skills of diabetic patients on the management of the disease (Pedras et al, 2016;Xu, Pan and Liu, 2010). Majority of the patients (82%) in our study were found to attend to health check follow-ups.…”

This study was conducted in order to evaluate sleep quality and perception of diabetes self-management in Turkish patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). This study was conducted as a descriptive and cross-sectional study in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. This study was conducted with 61 people in the Diabetic Foot Clinic of the university hospital in Çorum. Patient Introduction Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Perceived Diabetes Self-Management Scale (PDSMS) were used as data collection tools. Of the patients included, 82% had a PSQI score 5≥ and the sleep quality was found to be poor. The mean PSQI score was significantly higher and poorer in smokers and those with other diseases/comorbidities (p<0.05). The mean PDSMS score of the patients was found as 22.75 ± 2.03. The mean PDSMS score was found to be statistically significantly higher in patienst with longer duration of diabetes than in patients with shorter duration of diabetes (p<0.05). The poor sleep quality of individuals with diabetic foot ulcers leads to the failure of diabetes management. It is therefore important that health professionals focus on determining the conditions that affect sleep quality in patients with diabetic foot problems.

Results: With a mean age of 54 years, the study population showed irregular blood glucose control, despite the use of hypoglycemic medication, and did not have a healthy lifestyle. The main complication reported was high blood pressure (HBP), occurring in 70.9% of patients. The prevalence of complications was positively associated with patients receiving insulin treatment (p=0.042) and multidisciplinary monitoring (p=0.050). Conclusion:The associations identified reflect the condition of patients that were already treating diabetes and its complications, especially HBP. The characteristics of the study population indicate the need to improve clinical follow-up and increase motivation for healthy behaviors.
