Health Fatalism and Distress Tolerance in Caregivers of Patients with Type 1 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study

Öz

Aim: The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between health fatalism and distress tolerance among caregivers of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out with 203 caregivers at a state hospital located in the eastern region of Turkey, between August and November 2024. Personal information form, Health Fatalism Scale and the Distress Tolerance Scale were used in the study. Number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, minimum-maximum values, t-test, pearson correlation and regression analyses were used to analyze the data. The statistical significance level was assumed to be p < 0.05. Results: The participants’ mean total score for health fatalism was found to be 53.91±19.12. The mean total score for distress tolerance was determined as 43.92±14.84. A statistically significant and positive correlation was identified between participants’ total scores on health fatalism and distress tolerance (r=0.626, η²=0.718, p<0.05). It was determined that the level of health fatalism increased the level of distress tolerance (β₁=0.50, t(195)=7.78, p<0.001). Conclusion: It has been shown that caregivers of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus exhibited high levels of both health fatalism and distress tolerance. Furthermore, as the caregivers’ level of health fatalism increased, their level of distress tolerance also increased.
