Abstract

Introduction: Studies on resilience, social support, and coping in Arab Muslim countries for individuals with diabetes mellitus are limited. The study aimed to investigate these factors among adult patients with diabetes mellitus in Oman.

Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study examined resilience, social support, and coping levels in 212 adult patients with diabetes mellitus in three diabetic comprehensive centers using validated instruments.

Results: The study found an average resilience score of 73.4 (0-100) and a mean social support level of 68.3 (0-100). Participants scored lower in emotional/informational support (M = 66.06, SD = 24.43) than in other support types. The overall mean coping level was 2.75 (1-4).

Conclusion: Findings indicated that Arab Muslim patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus exhibited moderate to acceptable levels of resilience, social support, and coping mechanisms. Further investigation is warranted to explore the interrelationships among these variables and their potential impact on diabetes outcomes.

糖尿病患者的适度恢复力、社会支持和应对：来自阿拉伯和穆斯林背景的见解

引言：阿拉伯穆斯林国家对糖尿病患者的恢复力、社会支持和应对的研究有限。该研究旨在调查阿曼成年糖尿病患者的这些因素。方法：本研究采用经过验证的工具，对三家糖尿病综合中心的212名成年糖尿病患者的恢复力、社会支持和应对水平进行了描述性横断面研究。结果：心理弹性平均得分为73.4分（0-100分），社会支持平均得分为68.3分（0-100分）。参与者在情感/信息支持方面的得分（M = 66.06, SD = 24.43）低于其他支持类型。总体平均应对水平为2.75（1-4）。结论：研究结果表明，阿拉伯穆斯林糖尿病患者表现出中等至可接受水平的恢复力、社会支持和应对机制。有必要进一步研究这些变量之间的相互关系及其对糖尿病结局的潜在影响。
