Abstract:
Objective:To explore the dyadic coping of diabetes couples and the status of patients' stigma, and analyze its correlation.Methods:This study is a cross-sectional study. A total of 304 inpatients with diabetes and their spouses from the Department of Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases of two ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Weifang were selected by convenience sampling. A questionnaire survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Self-Stigma Scale (SSS) , and Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI) . The relationship between the dyadic coping of diabetes patients and their spouses and the stigma of diabetes patients were analyzed by correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.Results:The scores of stigma and dyadic coping of patients, and the score of dyadic coping of couples were (55.67±10.41) , (120.62±17.39) and (121.49±16.59) , respectively. Pearson correlation showed that the dyadic coping scores of both spouses were negatively correlated with the total score of the patient's stigma and dimension scores, and the differences were statistically significant ( r=-0.514- -0.208, P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the dyadic coping of diabetes patients and their spouses, per capita monthly family income, occupational status (retired) , need of caregivers, and comorbidity with chronic diseases were the influencing factors of the stigma of diabetes patients, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) , which could explain 39.0% of the variation of the regression equation. Conclusions:The stigma of patients with diabetes is at a low level. The dyadic coping of both spouses is the influencing factor of stigma in diabetes patients.
