The Relationship Between Self-Efficacy and Psychosocial Adjustment of Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes
Abstract
Materials and Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out between January 2020 and July 2020 with individuals with type 2 diabetes (N = 154). Data collection tools were identified as "Descriptive Characteristics Form", "General Self-Efficacy Scale", and "Psychosocial Adjustment to the Illness Scale – Self-Report". Data were analyzed using descriptive
statistics, ANOVA, independent samples t test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, correlation and multiple linear regression analysis.
Results: The scores of participants on the self-efficacy and psychosocial adjustment scale are 29.42 ± 6.10 and 39.90 ± 13.94, respectively. It was determined that 33.8% of the
individuals had good psychosocial adjustment, 49.4% had fair and 16.9% had poor psychosocial adjustment. There was no statistically significant relationship between
self-efficacy and psychosocial adjustment scores (p> 0.05). It was observed that 13.1% of the change on the scores obtained with psychosocial adjustment was explained by
the scores obtained in patients' age, gender, education level, marital status, economic status and working status.
Conclusion: Although the current findings do not present any relationship between psychosocial adjustment and self-efficacy in individuals with type 2 diabetes, it is emphasized in
this study that it is important to support their self-efficacy and improve psychosocial adjustment so that individuals with type 2 diabetes can successfully carry out certain
activities. The results may provide clues to help clinicians implement targeted strategies to support self-efficacy and psychosocial adjustment in individuals with type 2
diabetes.
