Abstract

Objective: This study aims to assess whether who patients report as their primary family support person is linked to diabetes self-efficacy and disease severity.

Research design and method: A total of 177 Latino/a patients with type 2 diabetes completed surveys regarding diabetes-related family support, diabetes self-efficacy, and self-management behaviors. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was collected from each patient's medical record. Associations were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance and analysis of covariance.

Results: Patients without a support person had significantly higher HbA1c values. These patients reported receiving significantly less diabetes-related support than patients with a spouse, parent/sibling, or son/daughter support person. This lack of support person created a significant support deficit for these patients. Patients with a spouse support person reported significantly greater diabetes self-efficacy than patients with a parent/sibling, son/daughter, or no support person.

Conclusions: Patients without family support may be at risk of worse outcomes, and certain sources of family support may be tied to diabetes self-efficacy. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).

在得不到充分服务的拉丁裔/a初级保健2型糖尿病患者中，家庭支持人员的类型及其与自我效能感和疾病严重程度的联系

目的：本研究旨在评估患者报告的主要家庭支持人是否与糖尿病自我效能感和疾病严重程度有关。研究设计与方法：对177例拉丁裔/ A型2型糖尿病患者进行糖尿病相关家庭支持、糖尿病自我效能感和自我管理行为调查。从每位患者的病历中收集血红蛋白A1c （HbA1c）。采用多变量协方差分析和协方差分析对关联进行分析。结果：无辅助人员的患者HbA1c值明显升高。与有配偶、父母/兄弟姐妹或儿子/女儿赡养人的患者相比，这些患者接受的糖尿病相关支持明显减少。这种缺乏支持的人给这些病人造成了严重的支持赤字。有配偶赡养人的患者报告的糖尿病自我效能显著高于有父母/兄弟姐妹、儿子/女儿或没有赡养人的患者。结论：没有家庭支持的患者可能面临更糟糕结果的风险，某些家庭支持来源可能与糖尿病自我效能感有关。（PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2026 APA，版权所有）。
