Abstract

Objectives: The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship of Self-efficacy and Demographic characteristics with blood glucose control in older patients with Diabetes type II who referred to an endocrinology clinic in the northwest of Iran. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a random sampling method through which the patients were divided into controlled and uncontrolled groups. A total of 290 eligible volunteers participated in the research during November-March 2016. The Diabetes Management Self-efficacy Scale and demographic information form were completed by face-to-face interviews. Based on the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, the patients were assigned to controlled (HbA1c<7) and uncontrolled (HbA1c>7) groups. Finally, the data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: The results showed a significant difference between the 2 groups regarding the mean Self-efficacy scores after adjusting for the blood glucose control confounding variables (P ≤ 0. 05). Moreover, all the dimensions of participants’ Self-efficacy scores had significant relationships with the Glycosylated hemoglobin level (P ≤ 0. 05). In terms of personal details, variables including the time since diagnosis of diabetes, education, and economic status had significant relationships with blood glucose control as well (P ≤ 0. 05). Conclusions: In general, the economic status, education, and time since diagnosis of diabetes affected diabetes control. Thus, performing interventions to improve the Self-efficacy and well-being of these patients can improve their self-care and blood glucose control.
