This study aimed to identify the predictors of self-efficacy in administering insulin injection among patients with type 2 diabetes. Using a cross-sectional survey, data were collected via purposive sampling from a metabolic ward of a medical center in Southern Taiwan. Participants were 72 patients with type 2 diabetes, who had started using Lantus, Levemir, or Novomix pen injectors. Data were collected from October 2013 to August 2014, using the Diabetes and Insulin Injection Knowledge Scale, Self-Efficacy in Administering Insulin Injection Scale, and photographs illustrating insulin injection skills. The findings indicated that "knowledge of diabetes and insulin injection," "insulin injection skills," "senior high school or above education," and "diabetes duration" were predictors of self-efficacy in administering insulin injection, which explained 41% of the total variance in self-efficacy. Health care professionals can design relevant strategies for improving patient self-efficacy in administering insulin injection, thereby increasing patients' insulin self-injection abilities.
本研究旨在确定 2 型糖尿病患者注射胰岛素自我效能的预测因素。采用横断面调查方法，通过目的性抽样从台湾南部一家医学中心的代谢病房收集数据。参与者为 72 名使用来得时、诺和平或速秀霖笔式注射器的 2 型糖尿病患者。资料收集时间为 2013 年 10 月至 2014 年 8 月，使用糖尿病和胰岛素注射知识量表、胰岛素注射自我效能量表和胰岛素注射技能照片进行。研究结果表明，“糖尿病和胰岛素注射知识”、“胰岛素注射技能”、“高中或以上学历”和“糖尿病病程”是注射胰岛素自我效能的预测因素，解释了自我效能总方差的 41%。医疗保健专业人员可以设计相关策略来提高患者注射胰岛素的自我效能，从而提高患者的胰岛素自我注射能力。
