Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between diabetic distress and coping styles among patients with type 2 diabetes. Method One hundred inpatients with type 2 diabetes were engaged in the investigation of their diabetes distress and coping styles by the diabetes distress scale (DDS) and medical coping modes questionnaire (MCMQ) and the correlation between them. Results The average score of diabetic distress was (2.17 ± 0.71), which was at mild level. 57%of them were at the higher level of diabetic distress. Confrontation and avoidance dimensions were lower than the norm in coping styles, and the acceptance dimension was higher than the norm (all P<0.01). The average scores of diabetic distress, regimen-related distress and physician-related distress subscales were negatively correlated with confrontation (all P<0.05). The average score on diabetic distress and the subscales were positively correlated with avoidance and acceptance dimension (all P<0.01). Conclusions Diabetic distress is prevalent in type 2 diabetic patients and the degree of positive coping is still not insufficient. The diabetic distress is negatively correlated to the confrontation, and positively correlated to the avoidance and the acceptance dimension. The medical staff should instruct the patients to adopt positive coping styles, and avoid negative coping styles to reduce diabetic distress. It will be conductive to the physical and mental rehabilitation of the patients as well.
