Diabetes patients experience significant distress. Improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is cardinal in the management of all chronic health conditions. We investigated the moderating role of social support (SS) in the relationship between diabetes distress (DD) and HRQoL. Three hundred and ninety-six type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients (M age = 57.71 years) completed measures of relevant variables. Results showed that SS moderated DD-HRQoL association. Our findings provided a guide on extent of support for T2DM management behaviors that may be helpful in ameliorating impacts of stress on patients' health.
糖尿病患者会经历明显的痛苦。改善与健康相关的生活质量（HRQoL）是所有慢性健康状况管理的核心。我们研究了社会支持（SS）在糖尿病困扰（DD）与 HRQoL 之间的关系中的调节作用。396 名 2 型糖尿病患者（M 年龄=57.71 岁）完成了相关变量的测量。结果表明，SS 调节了 DD-HRQoL 的关联。我们的研究结果为 2 型糖尿病管理行为提供了支持程度的指导，这可能有助于减轻压力对患者健康的影响。
