Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is highly prevalent worldwide and especially in Jordan, presenting a significant challenge in mitigating its associated complications, thereby emphasizing the need for effective management strategies.
The aim of the study was to investigate early predictors of quality of life (QOL) among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Southern Jordan, focusing on examining the relationships and associations between diabetes self-efficacy, glycemic control, and diabetes self-care with QOL.
The study adopted a cross-sectional approach conducted within Southern Jordan, employing a convenience sampling method. Participants were chosen based on their availability and willingness to take part. The study encompassed a sample size of 204 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The study utilized the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire and the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale to assess diabetic patients' self-care levels and self-efficacy, respectively. Data collection spanned from 1 February to 15 May 2023.
Patients demonstrated suboptimal self-care and low self-efficacy. Significant positive correlations were found between QOL dimensions, self-management, and self-efficacy. Predictors for Type 2 Diabetes Miletus (T2DM) patients' QOL were identified. For physical health, factors such as gender, comorbidities, age, occupation, location, self-care behaviors, and self-efficacy influenced QOL. Similar predictors were found for psychological, social, and environmental health dimensions, including gender, comorbidities, HbA1c levels, city of residence, marital status, and income, as well as self-care behaviors and self-efficacy.
The study findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions to improve the QOL for individuals with T2DMin Southern Jordan.
2型糖尿病在全球范围内，尤其是在约旦极为普遍，这对减轻其相关并发症构成了重大挑战，因此强调了有效管理策略的必要性。
本研究的目的是调查约旦南部2型糖尿病患者生活质量（QOL）的早期预测因素，重点是研究糖尿病自我效能、血糖控制和糖尿病自我护理与生活质量之间的关系和关联。
本研究采用横断面研究方法，在约旦南部进行，采用便利抽样法。根据参与者的可及性和参与意愿进行选择。该研究纳入了204名被诊断为2型糖尿病的患者。该研究分别使用糖尿病自我管理问卷和糖尿病管理自我效能量表来评估糖尿病患者的自我护理水平和自我效能。数据收集时间为2023年2月1日至5月15日。
患者表现出自我护理不佳和自我效能低下。生活质量维度、自我管理和自我效能之间存在显著的正相关。确定了2型糖尿病（T2DM）患者生活质量的预测因素。对于身体健康，性别、合并症、年龄、职业、地点、自我护理行为和自我效能等因素会影响生活质量。在心理、社会和环境健康维度也发现了类似的预测因素，包括性别、合并症、糖化血红蛋白（HbA1c）水平、居住城市、婚姻状况和收入，以及自我护理行为和自我效能。
研究结果强调了针对性干预对改善约旦南部2型糖尿病患者生活质量的重要性。
