Abstract

Understanding the key factors in managing type 2 diabetes over the long term has become necessary. This study aims to explore the association between illness perception, coping, and self-care adherence among adults with type 2 diabetes and find the influence of illness perception and coping on self-care adherence. A cross-sectional survey design was used to collect data from 123 adults with type 2 diabetes aged between 30 and 55 years. The questionnaires included the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ), Brief COPE, Self-Care Inventory-Revised (SCI-R), and a personal information sheet. A significant correlation was found between illness perception, maladaptive and adaptive coping strategies, and self-care adherence. Adaptive coping, illness perception, and maladaptive coping strategies together explained a 59.9% variance in self-care adherence (F(3, 119) = 59.29, p < .001). The study highlights the importance of developing a less threatening perception of the illness and enhancing the practice of adaptive coping strategies for achieving better self-care adherence among people with type 2 diabetes. This study signifies the need for a collaborative approach by healthcare professionals, mental health providers, and policymakers to provide accurate diabetes self-management knowledge and develop interventions tailored to individuals’ needs.

2 型糖尿病患者的疾病认知、应对和自我保健坚持情况

了解长期管理 2 型糖尿病的关键因素已变得十分必要。本研究旨在探讨成年 2 型糖尿病患者的疾病认知、应对方法和自我护理依从性之间的关联，并找出疾病认知和应对方法对自我护理依从性的影响。研究采用横断面调查设计，收集了 123 名年龄在 30 岁至 55 岁之间的成年 2 型糖尿病患者的数据。问卷包括简明疾病认知问卷（BIPQ）、简明COPE、自我护理清单-修订版（SCI-R）和个人信息表。研究发现，疾病认知、不良和适应性应对策略与坚持自我护理之间存在明显的相关性。适应性应对策略、疾病认知和适应不良应对策略共同解释了自我护理依从性中 59.9% 的差异（F(3, 119) = 59.29, p < .001）。这项研究强调了降低对疾病的威胁感和加强适应性应对策略对提高 2 型糖尿病患者自我护理依从性的重要性。这项研究表明，医护人员、心理健康服务提供者和政策制定者需要采取合作的方式，提供准确的糖尿病自我管理知识，并根据个人需求制定干预措施。
