Poor adherence to treatment in type 2 diabetes patients is associated with inadequate glycemic control, increased medical costs, increased use of healthcare services, and increased mortality. Understanding how social support and disease acceptance influence treatment adherence can inform more effective diabetes management strategies. This study investigated the relationship between social support, disease acceptance, and treatment adherence in adults with type 2 diabetes. This cross-sectional correlational study was conducted on 332 individuals with type 2 diabetes in Türkiye. Data were collected using a patient information form, Acceptance of Illness Scale, Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale, and type 2 Diabetes Treatment Adherence Scale. Relationships between variables were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients, linear regression, and mediation analysis. The regression analysis indicated significant effects of social support on treatment adherence (β=-0.312, p < 0.001) and disease acceptance (β = 0.267, p < 0.001) and of disease acceptance on treatment adherence (β=-0.378, p < 0.001). Additionally, disease acceptance partially mediated the relationship between social support and treatment adherence (β=-0.101, %95 Cl [-0.154, -0.055]). The findings showed that high levels of social support and illness acceptance can improve treatment adherence and that social support may also indirectly enhance treatment adherence by promoting illness acceptance.</p>","PeriodicalId":48329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"572-582"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12307531/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143789111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among those at highest risk for COVID-19 and its adverse effects are African American/Black and Latine (AABL) frontline essential workers in public-facing occupations (e.g., food services, retail). Testing for COVID-19 in various scenarios (when exposed or symptomatic, regular screening testing) is an essential component of the COVID-19 control strategy in the United States. However, AABL frontline workers have serious barriers to COVID-19 testing at the individual (insufficient knowledge, distrust, cognitive biases), social (norms), and structural levels of influence (access). Thus, testing rates are insufficient and interventions are needed. The present study is grounded in the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) framework. It tests the main and interaction effects of a set of candidate behavioral intervention components to increase COVID-19 testing rates in this population. The study enrolled adult AABL frontline essential workers who were not up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccination nor recently tested for COVID-19. It used a factorial design to examine the effects of candidate behavioral intervention components, where each component was designed to address a specific barrier to COVID-19 testing. All participants received a core intervention comprised of health education. The candidate components were motivational interviewing counseling (MIC), a behavioral economics intervention (BEI), peer education (PE), and access to testing (either self-test kits [SK] or a navigation meeting [NM]). The primary outcome was COVID-19 testing in the follow-up period. Participants were assessed at baseline, randomly assigned to one of 16 experimental conditions, and assessed six- and 12-weeks later. The study was carried out in English and Spanish. We used a logistic regression model and multiple imputation to examine the main and interaction effects of the four factors (representing components): MIC, BEI, PE, and Access. We also conducted a sensitivity analysis using the complete case analysis. Participants (N = 438) were 35 years old on average (SD = 10). Half identified as men/male (52%), and 48% as women/female/other. Almost half (49%) were African American/Black, and 51% were Latine/Hispanic (12% participated in Spanish). A total of 32% worked in food services. Attendance in components was very high (~ 99%). BEI had positive effect on the outcome (OR = 1.543; 95% CI: [0.977, 2.438]; p-value = 0.063) as did Access, in favor of SK (OR = 1.351; 95% CI: [0.859, 2.125]; p-value = 0.193). We found a three-way interaction among MIC*PE*Access (OR: 0.576; 95% CI: [0.367, 0.903]; p-value = 0.016): when MIC was present, SK tended to increase COVID testing when PE was not present.

Results showed that all three types of norms were significantly and positively associated with vaccination intentions, with subjective norms exerting the strongest effect. Additionally, higher subjective norms amplified the positive relationship between descriptive norms and vaccination intentions. Republicans were influenced by both in-group and out-group norms, while Democrats were primarily guided by in-group norms, underscoring the potential of bipartisan messaging to boost vaccine uptake. These findings highlight how social norms impact COVID-19 vaccination intentions and reveal that individuals with differing party affiliations are influenced differently based on their perceived identification with reference groups. The study provides insights for designing targeted interventions to improve vaccine uptake among Black Americans and for developing broader public health messaging strategies.
