Abstract:
Objective:To explore the correlation among stigma, self-compassion and social support in patients with type 2 diabetes, and analyze the mediating role of self-compassion between the two, so as to provide theoretical basis for reducing stigma in patients with diabetes.Methods:From July 2022 to February 2023, 176 inpatients with type 2 diabetes in the Department of Endocrinology of the Guangdong Second Chinese Medicine Hospital were selected by convenience sampling. The patients were investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, Type 2 Diabetes Stigma Assessment Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale and Self-Compassion Scale. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between variables, and the Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect.Results:The total scores of social support, self-compassion and stigma in patients with type 2 diabetes were (54.64±12.63), (89.36±12.81) and (45.15±9.73) respectively. Correlation analysis showed that social support was negatively correlated with stigma ( r=-0.539, P<0.01), and positively correlated with self-compassion ( r=0.434, P<0.01), and there was a negative correlation between self-compassion and stigma ( r=-0.583, P<0.01), and the differences were statistically significant. The mediating effect analysis indicated that self-compassion played a mediating role between social support and stigma in patients with type 2 diabetes. The mediating effect value was -0.113, accounting for 32.66% of the total effect. Conclusions:The stigma in patients with type 2 diabetes is at the lower middle level. Social support and self-compassion negatively predict stigma, and self-compassion plays a mediating role between social support and stigma in type 2 diabetes patients.
