Relationship between diabetes medication self-efficacy and quality of life in older adults with diabetes: a cross-sectional study in Turkey.
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.
