Objective To examine the impact of diabetic foot patients′ negative emotion on the caregiver′quality of life. Methods Totally 100 pairs of diabetic foot patients and their caregivers were investigated using convenience sampling method. Results The incidence of anxiety, depression of hospitalized patients with diabetic foot was 41.5% (23/200), 44.0% (88/200) respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that anxiety score were negatively correlated with caregivers′ quality of life except for mental health dimension, physical pain dimension and the total score of physical health, mental health and the MOS item Short from Health Survey (SF-36) (r=-0.471--0.117, P<0.05), and depression score were negatively correlated with caregivers′ quality of life except for physical pain dimension and the total score of physical health, mental health and SF-36(r=-0.519--0.220, P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis indicated that caregivers educational level, provided support, social support , relationship with patients, self-evaluation of health, live together time with patient, patient care burden, caregivers gender, depression score, patient age, diabetic foot Wagner grade were the influence factors of the caregiver′ quality of life. Conclusions Diabetic foot patients′ negative emotion has an important impact on caregiver′quality of life, we can improve the quality of life of patients and their caregivers by reducing the negative mood of patients with diabetic foot.

Objective To investigate the distribution of circadian typology of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to analyze its consequent impact on glycemic control. Methods From January 2016 to June 2016, a total of 283 T2DM patients were interviewed in this study. Self designed questionnaire, Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ), Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Center for Epidemiological Survey-Depression Scale (CES-D) were used to collect information on diabetes history, circadian typology, sleep quality and depression. HbA1c and other biochemical indicators were determined. The glycemic control target was<7%. The 283 T2DM patients were divided into three groups:morning type group, evening type group and neither type group according to MEQ score. Results Of the 283 subjects, 97 (34.3%) were classified as morning type, 42 (14.8%) as evening type, and 144 (50.9%) as neither. Participants with evening type were younger, shorter diabetes duration, more depressive symptoms, higher perceived sleep debt, higher FBG and higher HbA1c than those with morning type. The binary Logistic regression analysis showed that HbAlc≥7%was associated with higher FBG, higher PSQI score, higher sleep debt, lower HDL-C, and lower MEQ scores (OR=0.189-2.904, all P<0.05). Conclusions Evening type was associated with higher HbA1c and poorer glycemic control in T2DM patients compared with morning type and may be one of the risk factors affecting glycemic control.

Objective To investigate the influence of fear of hypoglycemia on the compliance of diabetes patients.Methods A total of 201 diabetes inpatients with hypoglycemia in four first-class hospital of grade three in Ji'nan were selected by convenience sampling method and investigated by General Information Questionnaire,Chinese version of Hypoglycemia Fear Survey Ⅱ-Worry Scale and Diabetes Treatment Compliance Scale.And carrid on the correlation analysis and the multiple linear regression analysis.Results The scores of fear of hypoglycemia was 3-33 points,the median score was 12 points(interquartile range,10-15 points).The score of treatment compliance was 23-55(35.90±5.84)points.Spearman correlation analysis showed that fear of hypoglycemia score were negative correlated with treatment compliance score,drug,diet,exercise dimensions(r=-0.467-0.288),and it was positively correlated with self monitoring dimension(r=0.259),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01),it was not associated with periodic inspection dimension.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the economic income,occupation,whether to participate in health education of diabetes mellitus,glycosylated hemoglobin,fear of hypoglycemia were the influence factors of treatment compliance.Conclusions Diabetes patients'fear of hypoglycemia can influence treatment compliance.medical staff should pay attention to and take effective measures to reduce their fear of hypoglycemia and improve treatment compliance.
