| description | This study was designed to determine whether
participation in group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
would result in better glycemic control, higher motivation
in diabetes self-management, and improved psychological
well-being. The experimental design involved a sample of
60 Malaysian adults having type 2 diabetes for more than
a year, drawn from the health clinic at Universiti Sains
Malaysia, Penang. Participant volunteers were males and
females aged between 20 and 65 years of various ethnic
backgrounds. Glycemic control was measured by HbA1c
value for each participant with pre- and post-blood tests,
while psychological well-being was measured by the
Well-being Questionnaire (W-BQ 22) developed by
Bradley (1990) to measure depression, mood, anxiety,
and various aspects of positive well-being exclusively
for diabetics. CBT intervention program and patient education
supplements were administered to the experimental
group over 3 months, whereas the control group received
neither; both groups carried on their normal type 2 diabetes
treatment and physicians’ consultations. The results
indicated that group CBT improved the mean psychological
well-being scores among participants in the experimental
group from 37.56 in the pretest to 49.83 in the
posttest. The findings of the current study suggested that
the therapy could also help diabetics achieve more acceptable
HbA1c levels and better adjust to diabetes. |
