Abstract

Objective: Acceptance and adaptation to diabetes is individually evaluated and affected by coping responses. This study was conducted to evaluate the unconditional self-acceptance levels and adaptation of adults with diabetes.
Methods: The descriptive-cross-sectional study was carried out with 228 people who were followed up and treated with the diagnosis of diabetes in the Internal Medicine Outpatient Clinic and Clinic of Osmaniye State Hospital between 15.12.2019 and 15.02.2020. “Personal Information Form”, “Unconditional Self-Acceptance Scale” and “Chronic Illness Adaptation Scale” were used as data collection tools. SPSS package program was used in the analysis of the data. Statistical significance level was taken as p<0.05.
Results: The mean Unconditional Self-Acceptance Scale total score of adults with diabetes is 74.2 ± 10.73. Adults with diabetes mean total Chronic Illness Adaptation Scale score 86.07 ± 12.99. There is a statistically significant positive correlation between the mean scores of the Unconditional Self-Acceptance Scale unconditional self-acceptance sub-dimension and the Chronic Illness Adaptation Scale total and physical and psychological adjustment sub-dimensions (p<0.05).
Conclusion: In adults with diabetes, unconditional self-acceptance is moderate and adjustment to the disease is good and significantly correlated.

Diyabeti Olan Yetişkinlerin Koşulsuz Kendini Kabul ve Kronik Hastalığa Uyumlarının Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Diyabetin kabul ve uyum süreci, hastalığın bireysel değerlendirilmesinden ve bireysel başa çıkma yanıtlarından etkilenir. Bu araştırma diyabeti olan yetişkinlerin koşulsuz kendini kabul düzeyleri ve hastalığa uyumlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı tipteki çalışma, 15.12.2019-15.02.2020 tarihleri arasında Osmaniye Devlet Hastanesi Dahiliye Poliklinik ve Kliniği’nde diyabet tanısı ile takip ve tedavisi sürdürülen 228 kişi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “Koşulsuz Kendini Kabul Ölçeği” ve “Kronik Hastalıklara Uyum Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS paket programı kullanılmıştır. İstatistiki anlamlılık seviyesi p<0.05 olarak alınmıştır.
Bulgular: Diyabeti olan yetişkinlerin “Koşulsuz Kendini Kabul Ölçeği” toplam puan ortalaması 74.2±10.73 iken, “Kronik Hastalıklara Uyum Ölçeği” toplam puan ortalaması 86.07±12.99’dir. Diyabeti olan yetişkinlerin Koşulsuz Kendini Kabul Ölçeği koşulsuz kendini kabul alt boyut puan ortalamaları ile Kronik Hastalıklara Uyum Ölçeği toplam ve fiziksel ve psikolojik uyum alt boyut puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak pozitif yönlü anlamlı ilişki vardır (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Diyabeti olan yetişkinlerde koşulsuz kendini kabul orta ve hastalığa uyum iyi düzeyde ve anlamlı ilişkilidir.
