The negative emotion group comprised 40 participants with anxiety, 13 with depression, and eight with both. Logistic regression showed that being female (OR = 3.090, 95%CI: 1.217-7.847), a family per capita monthly income of < 5000 yuan (OR = 0.337, 95%CI: 0.165-0.668), and a longer duration of diabetes (OR = 2.068, 95%CI: 1.817-3.744) were risk factors for negative emotions in patients with DR after vitrectomy (<i>P</i> < 0.05). The concentrations of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hour postprandial glucose (2hPG), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the negative emotion group exceeded those in the control group (<i>P</i> < 0.05). SAS scores were positively associated with FPG (<i>r</i> = 0.422), 2hPG (<i>r</i> = 0.334), and HbA1c (<i>r</i> = 0.362; <i>P</i> < 0.05). SDS scores were positively correlated with FPG (<i>r</i> = 0.218) and 2hPG (<i>r</i> = 0.218; <i>P</i> < 0.05).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Sex, income level, and duration of diabetes were factors that influenced negative emotions post-vitrectomy. Negative emotions were positively correlated with blood glucose levels, which can be used to develop intervention strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":23896,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Psychiatry","volume":"14 10","pages":"1513-1520"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11514562/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142547900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
