| description | Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic medical condition associated with psychological
sequelae like depression and linked with specific personality traits. This study
researched on quality of life (QoL) among patients with DM and its association
with mood symptoms and personality traits. 291 diabetic respondents were
recruited, where their socio-demographic data and other relevant profile were
collected using the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II), Generalized Anxiety
Disorder scale (GAD-7), Big Five Inventory (BFI) and World Health Organization
Quality of Life Instrument-Short Form questionnaire (WHOQoL-BREF). The mean
age of the respondents was 60.43 years with approximately half of the respondents
being males and married. Most respondents have been diagnosed with type 2
diabetes (N = 261, 89.7%) and the median duration of diabetes diagnosis was
14.17 years (SD = 9.72). The association between personality traits, psychological
complications, and QoL after adjusting for demographic, personal, and clinical
characteristics were studied. Based on the multiple linear regression models, after
adjusting for age, employment, education status, monthly income, perceived social
support, duration of DM and other variables, we found that the neuroticism (BFI)
and mean BDI score was associated with poorer QoL, respectively. 1-unit increase
in these two variables leading to 3.5- and 0.6-point decrease in QoL, (-3.465 (95%
confidence interval, CI -5.788 to -1.143) and -0.560 (95% CI -0.779 to -0.341)) with
p<0.001, respectively. An intervention focusing on the neuroticism and elevating
the depressive psychopathology would help in the psychological management of
patients with DM. |
