| Objectives:1.To analyze the current situation of Resourcefulness,Diabetes Distress and Quality of Life in elderly patients with Type 2 diabetes.2.To explore the influencing factors among Resourcefulness,Diabetes Distress and Quality of Life in elderly patients with Type 2 diabetes.3.To analyze the influencing factors of Resourcefulness in elderly patients with Type 2 diabetes.Methods:The present study belongs to a cross-sectional investigation.General Information Questionnaire,Resourcefulness Scale,Diabetes Distress Scale,Diabetes Specific Quality of Life scale were used to investigate the elderly patients with Type 2 diabetes in the outpatient clinic of Endocrinology Department of a Class-A tertiary general hospital in Nanchong.SPSS 17.0 was employed to process the data;the counting data were expressed by percentage,and the measured data were described statistically by mean,standard deviation.T-test and ANOVA(pairwise comparison with LSD-t test)were adopted in univariate analysis;multiple stepwise linear regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of Resourcefulness.The test level is α = 0.05.Results:1.The total scores of Resourcefulness for the elderly patients with Type 2 diabetes ranged from 39 to 138,the total mean score was 79.70±23.83,the mean item score was 2.84±0.85.In the two dimensions,Personal Resourcefulness was 2.80±0.91,Social Resourcefulness 2.90±0.94.2.The general mean score of Diabetes Distress for the elderly patients with Type 2 diabetes was 2.04±0.64.50% of these patients(157)got the mean score less than 2 points,or the mean score equal to or more than 2 points,respectively.Among the latter group,41.1% of them(129)got the mean score between 2 and 3 points,8.9% of them(28)patients got the mean score mean equal to or more than 3 points.The mean scores of each dimension were Emotional Burden 2.52±1.08,Distress Related to Life Regularity 2.49±1.19,Distress Related to Doctor 1.40±0.46,Distress Related to Interpersonal Relationship 1.33±0.51,from high to low,respectively.3.The general mean score of Quality of Life for the elderly patients with Type 2 diabetes was 52.41±12.71.12 subjects(3.8%),257 subjects(81.9%)and 45 subjects(14.3%)got the total score over 80 points,between 40 to 80 points,less than or equal to 40 points,respectively.The scores of each dimension from high to low were Mental Dimension 2.19±0.71,Physiological Dimension 1.87±0.53,Therapeutic Dimension 1.81±0.65,Social Relationship Dimension 1.73±0.55.4.Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that Treatment dimensions in the Quality of Life Scale,course of disease,Physician-related Pain Dimension in the Diabetes Distress Scale and frequency of hospitalization of diabetes in the last year entered the regression equation and could account 32.3% variance.Conclusions :1.Resourcefulness for the elderly patients with Type 2 diabetes was at the moderate level.2.Diabetes Distress and Quality of Life with Type 2 diabetes was at the moderate level.3.Resourcefulness for the elderly patients with Type 2 diabetes was influenced by such factors as disease-related characteristics,quality of life and diabetes-related distress;course of disease was the main positive influencing factor and the main negative influencing factors include Treatment Dimensions in the Quality of Life Scale,Physician-related Distress Dimension in the Diabetes Distress Scale and frequency of hospitalization for diabetes in the last year. |
