Purpose: To investigate the correlation between self-efficacy and quality of life (QoL) in patients with diabetes under varying glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) conditions.
Methods: The 177 outpatients with Type 2 diabetes were included in this study at a regional teaching hospital in central Taiwan. We reviewed the results of the patients’ HbA1c test results from the preceding 3 months and recorded these data. HbA1c levels were divided into three control groups: good, moderate, and poor. In multiple regression analysis, the relationship between overall self-efficacy and QoL, then stepwise added HbA1c and demographic variables.
Results: This study revealed a strong relationship between self-efficacy and QoL. In comparison to the overall sample (referred to as the baseline group), the relationship between self-effi.. View More»
