The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between religiosity, social support, diabetes care and control and self-rated health of people living in Mexico who have been diagnosed with diabetes. Structural equation modeling was used to examine these associations using the Mexican Health and Aging Study, a national representative survey of older Mexicans. Findings indicate that emotional support from one's spouse/partner directly affects diabetes care and control and health. Although there is no direct relationship between religiosity and health, religiosity was positively associated with diabetes care and control, but not significantly related to health.
本研究的主要目的是考察墨西哥已确诊糖尿病患者的宗教信仰、社会支持、糖尿病护理与控制以及自评健康之间的关系。利用墨西哥健康与老龄化研究(一项针对墨西哥老年人的全国代表性调查),采用结构方程模型来检验这些关联。研究结果表明,配偶/伴侣给予的情感支持直接影响糖尿病护理与控制以及健康状况。虽然宗教信仰与健康之间没有直接关系,但宗教信仰与糖尿病护理与控制呈正相关,不过与健康的相关性并不显著。
