Background:

  • Diabetes mellitus is a significant cause of morbidity, mortality, and economic burden.
  • Effective diabetes management relies heavily on patient self-care.
  • Factors influencing self-care, such as knowledge, social support, agency, and efficacy, require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the relationships among diabetes knowledge, social support, self-care agency, and self-efficacy in individuals with diabetes.
  • To determine how these factors influence diabetes self-care management.
  • To explore the mediating roles of self-care agency and self-efficacy in diabetes self-care.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional model testing design.
  • Convenience sample of 141 insulin-requiring individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes (aged 21+).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Data analyzed using simple linear regression, multiple standard regression, and multiple hierarchical regression.

    • Main Results:

    • Increased diabetes knowledge correlated with greater self-care agency and self-efficacy.
    • Higher social support was associated with greater self-care agency and better self-care management.
    • Greater self-efficacy predicted better diabetes self-care management.
    • Self-care agency and self-efficacy acted as mediators in the relationships between knowledge, social support, and self-care management.
    • Combined factors of knowledge, social support, agency, and efficacy positively impacted self-care management.

    Conclusions:

    • Diabetes knowledge, social support, self-care agency, and self-efficacy are crucial for effective diabetes self-care management.
