Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between diabetes medication self-efficacy and quality of life in older adults with diabetes.

Methods: The study included 192 older adults who attended the diabetes clinic of a public hospital in Istanbul. Data were collected between June and October 2024. Participants were informed about the study and provided both verbal and written consent. Data collection instruments comprised a sociodemographic questionnaire, the diabetes medication self-efficacy scale, and the quality of life scale for older adults.

Results: Of the participants, 98 (51.0%) were women and 105 (54.7%) were aged 65 to 74 years. The mean diabetes medication self-efficacy score was 38.95±10.31, and the mean quality of life score was 18.24±6.37. A weak but statistically significant positive correlation was observed between the autonomy and satisfaction subscale of quality of life and the necessity subscale of self-efficacy (p<0.05).

Conclusion: This study, which examined the relationship between self-efficacy in diabetes management and quality of life in older adults, provides valuable guidance for clinical practice aimed at improving care for this population.

糖尿病用药自我效能感与老年糖尿病患者生活质量的关系：土耳其的一项横断面研究

目的：本研究旨在探讨老年糖尿病患者糖尿病用药自我效能感与生活质量之间的关系。方法：研究对象为伊斯坦布尔一家公立医院糖尿病门诊就诊的192名老年人。数据收集于2024年6月至10月。参与者被告知这项研究，并提供口头和书面同意。数据收集工具包括社会人口调查问卷、糖尿病药物自我效能量表和老年人生活质量量表。结果：98例（51.0%）为女性，105例（54.7%）年龄在65 ~ 74岁之间。糖尿病用药自我效能感平均得分为38.95±10.31分，生活质量平均得分为18.24±6.37分。生活质量的自主性和满意度分量表与自我效能感的必要性分量表之间存在微弱的正相关(p)。结论：本研究探讨了老年人糖尿病管理的自我效能感与生活质量之间的关系，为临床实践提供了有价值的指导，旨在改善老年人的护理。
