“…Moreover, one quarter of the subjects on metformin did not take this drug with food, increasing the risk of side effects which could have a negative impact on medication adherence. These results are in agreement with a previous study performed by Browne et al [16]. Our finding, that about one in five type-2 diabetes patients is on insulin treatment, is similar to the portion of insulin users among the participants with diabetes in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted in 1999-2000 [12].…”

“…This assumption was supported by the findings that subjects who took their medication at the wrong time were those with less education. Previous studies have shown similar findings [57,63,64]. Another possibility was that wrong advice could have been provided by the healthcare professionals.…”

“…Browne (2000) reported 38% of Type 2 diabetes subjects (n = 261) took their OAM incorrectly in relation to food. However, no assessment was done in that study to identify any relationship between wrong timing of OAM with overall glycaemic control [57]. In this study all subjects were prescribed with conventional insulin like Actrapid or Premix 30/70.…”

Majority of research reports identified moderate reduction in glycated haemoglobin with education interventions regardless of age group. Our study objective was to evaluate the pharmacist interventions in providing patient home care. A 24-week longitudinal quasi-experimental-pretest/post-test study design was used to assess the effectiveness of a diabetes education program to enhance self-care practices. A doubleblinded randomized study design was considered but was not feasible as the investigator was responsible for implementing the intervention and collecting data on outcomes. Since this was a longitudinal study a 25% attrition rate was included in the calculation of sample size. Hence the sample size for the proposed study was 106 subjects with 53 subjects in each group. All analyses were done using SPSS version 18 ® . The level of significance was set at 0.05. The Research Ethics Committee of hospital and the Malaysian Medical Research and Ethics Committee approved the study. Of the 109 subject who met the study-entry criteria, 3 subjects declined to participate due to lack of time and interest. There was no significant relationship between the demographic and clinical characteristic of participants who completed the study. No significant relationship between the intervention and control groups who completed the study in demographic, clinical and psychosocial contexts. Of the 47 subjects from the intervention group who reported adherent to their daily medication intake after the education intervention, 51 subjects (31.9%) reported taking their medication at the wrong time. The recommended times for oral anti-hyperglycemic medication (OAM) are: sulphonylureas 30 minutes before food, acarbose with food, metformin with or within 30 minutes after food. This research has shown a brief structured education program that incorporated behavior science specifically selfefficacy was effective in enhancing self-care practices (SMBG and medication adherence) and improving glycaemic control in the intervention group.

“…Several studies have found that people with diabetes have a more difficult time adhering to diet and exercise regimens than to insulin medication administration (Glasgow, McCaul, & Schaffer, 1997;Hentinen & Kyngas, 1992;Ruggiero et al, 1997;Toljamo & Hentinen, 2001). Barriers to medication adherence include complexity of the medication regimen, forgetting to take medication, financial burden, and 14 not understanding the rationale for specific medication regimens (Browne, Avery, Turner, Kerr, & Cavan, 2000;Dunning & Manias, 2005;Nagelkerk, Reick, & Meengs, 2006).…”

To examine the relationship between illness representations, emotional distress, coping strategies, and coping efficacy as predictors of self‐care behaviour and A1c levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Background. Diabetes mellitus affects 23·6 million Americans and is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. Reduction in complications can be best achieved by individuals’ adhering to appropriate lifestyle changes and maintaining tight glycemic control. Understanding the degree of influence that psychosocial factors have on individuals’ decisions to perform self‐regulation activities will give insight on strategies to encourage better decision‐making to prevent acute and chronic complications. Methods. A descriptive, correlational design examined the psychosocial factors to determine the predictive relationships with self‐care behaviour and A1c levels. Participants were 119 men and women recruited from physician offices, medical clinics, and diabetes education centers. The research was conducted from March–December 2007. Results. Participants perceived their diabetes to be a chronic, moderately cyclical condition with negative consequences and with moderate amounts of symptomatology that greatly influenced their emotional status. Hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses revealed that a) coping efficacy uniquely accounted for 9% of the variance in self‐care behaviour and b) illness representations, particularly timeline‐cyclical, uniquely accounted for 12% of the variance in A1c levels. Conclusions. The findings confirm how illness representations, emotional distress, coping strategies, and coping efficacy influence self‐care behaviour and health outcomes. Psychosocial factors can influence lifestyle behaviour changes and outcomes of individuals with diabetes mellitus. Relevance to clinical practice. Findings from the study have implications for nurses in the areas of assessment, diabetes management, coping skills training, and cognitive behavioural therapy. Nurses should incorporate these strategies into their daily practice to help individuals identify successful coping strategies, enhance coping efficacy, and change misconceptions about diabetes mellitus to improve self‐care behaviour and health outcomes.
