Abstract:
Objective To investigate the current situation of self-management level and quality of life among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) of the urban community in Sichuan province and to explore the correlation between them. Methods Self-management level and quality of life of patients with T2DM from 20 community health services of 12 cities in Sichuan province was investigated with the self-designed diabetes self-management behavior scale and the short form 36 questionnaire (SF-36) by the method of a cross-sectional survey. The correlation between self-management level and quality of life was analyzed. Results A total of 1 796 patients with T2DM were investigated. The total average score of the self-management behavior and the scores of physical health and mental health of the SF-36 were (3.25±0.46) (full marks are 5), (277.3±77.5), (282.7±70.8). The score of the dimension of behavior on complications monitoring had a positive correlation with the score of mental health (r=0.194, P< 0.01). The total average score and scores of dimensions of diet therapy, exercise therapy, medication therapy, blood sugar monitoring and risk factors were positively correlated with the score of physical health (r=0.304, 0.265, 0.441, 0.467, 0.262, 0.361; P<0.05) and the score of mental health (r=0.380, 0.354, 0.364, 0.466, 0.352, 0.406; P< 0.05). Conclusions The self-management level and quality of life among patients with T2DM of the urban community in Sichuan province are not ideal. The better the self-management is, the higher the quality of life is. Communities should improve disease self-management skills and quality of life of patients.
