Abstract
Aim: To investigate the characteristics of psychological insulin resistance and dyadic coping in elderly diabetic patients and their spouses, and their association with insulin medication adherence.
Design: Observational, cross-sectional study.
Methods: A convenience sampling method selected 300 elderly diabetic patient-spouse pairs from a community. Data were collected using general information questionnaires, the My Views on Insulin questionnaire, Dyadic Coping questionnaire, and ARMS refill and medication adherence questionnaire. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was used to categorize the "psychological-coping" patterns of psychological insulin resistance and dyadic coping among these pairs. Multiple linear regression analysis identified factors influencing insulin medication adherence.
Results: Four latent classes were identified: patients and spouses with low resistance-high coping (30.3%), patients with low resistance-moderate coping and spouses with high resistance-low coping (16.3%), patients with high resistance-moderate coping and spouses with moderate resistance-high coping (33.7%), patients and spouses with high resistance-low coping (19.7%). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the number of chronic diseases a patient has, the use of oral hypoglycemic agents, family per capita monthly income, and latent classes of psychological insulin resistance and dyadic coping significantly affected insulin medication adherence (P<0.05).
Conclusion: It is crucial to consider the psychological insulin resistance and dyadic coping of both patients and their spouses, include both in health plans, and develop comprehensive intervention strategies that address the couple as a unit.
Implications for the profession and/or patient care: This study informs healthcare professionals by raising awareness of the different "psychological-coping" characteristics between elderly diabetic patients and their spouses, with insulin medication adherence and reducing the likelihood of readmission.
期刊介绍:
Patient Preference and Adherence is an international, peer reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the growing importance of patient preference and adherence throughout the therapeutic continuum. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research, modeling and clinical studies across all therapeutic areas. Patient satisfaction, acceptability, quality of life, compliance, persistence and their role in developing new therapeutic modalities and compounds to optimize clinical outcomes for existing disease states are major areas of interest for the journal.
As of 1st April 2019, Patient Preference and Adherence will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.
