To assess the a) prevalence, b) factors associated, and c) effect on self-care practices (SCP) of diabetes related distress (DRD) among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in rural Punjab, India.
Amongst the cohort of 700 patients, the Diabetes Distress Scale-17 (DDS-17) was used to assess DRD and the Summary of Diabetes Self Care Activities scale (SDSCA) for diabetes SCP. Multivariable logistic regression identified the factors associated with DRD.
DRD was universal [severe or moderate in 391 (56%) and 309 (44%) patients, respectively]. Hypertension increased the odds of severe DRD [aOR 3.47; 95% CI:2.48-4.87, p-<0.01] whereas living in a joint family reduced the odds of severe DRD [aOR 0.68; 95% CI: 0.47-0.97, p- 0.03]. Patients with severe DRD were less likely to perform DM SCPs [aOR 0.53; 95% CI:0.32-0.85, p-0.01].
The burden of DRD was alarmingly high. There is an urgent need to screen, prevent and treat DRD to improve selfcare in T2DM.
评估印度旁遮普邦农村地区 2 型糖尿病患者（T2DM）中糖尿病相关困扰（DRD）的 a）流行率、b）相关因素和 c）对自我护理实践（SCP）的影响。
在 700 名患者队列中，使用糖尿病困扰量表-17（DDS-17）评估 DRD，使用糖尿病自我护理活动综合量表（SDSCA）评估糖尿病 SCP。多变量逻辑回归确定与 DRD 相关的因素。
DRD 普遍存在[分别有 391 名（56%）和 309 名（44%）患者为严重或中度 DRD]。高血压增加严重 DRD 的几率[aOR 3.47；95%CI：2.48-4.87，p-<0.01]，而居住在联合家庭中则降低严重 DRD 的几率[aOR 0.68；95%CI：0.47-0.97，p-0.03]。患有严重 DRD 的患者进行糖尿病 SCP 的可能性较小[aOR 0.53；95%CI：0.32-0.85，p-0.01]。
DRD 的负担高得惊人。迫切需要筛查、预防和治疗 DRD，以改善 T2DM 的自我护理。
