Psychological well-being and diabetes-related distress in states of type 2 diabetes in the first multi-national Diabetes Attitudes, Wishes and Needs (DAWN) Study
Abstract
Purpose. To examine well-being and diabetes-related distress across several common states differentiated in the course of type 2 diabetes.
Material and methods. Random samples of adults with type 2 diabetes were obtained from multiple co- untries in the first DAWN (Diabetes Attitudes, Wishes, and Needs) Study (n = 3432). All data were obtained during structured interviews. Criteria for defining states of diabetes included time since diagnosis of diabetes, the timing and nature of anti-hyperglycaemic medication regimens, and the timing and number of complications.
Results. Duration of diabetes closely corresponded to a set of typical states based on the criteria. Using analysis of covariance to control for confounding factors, diabetes-related distress and psychological well-being were significantly (p < 0.05) worse for persons with diabetes with more complications and more intense medication regimens. Longer duration of insulin use was significantly associated with more diabetes-related distress. Worse distress and well-being were significantly associated with the accumulation of complications over time, but were more strongly associated with recently diagnosed complications than with more distally diagnosed complications.
Conclusions. Well-being and distress varied over sta- tes as defined by the nature and timing of diagnoses and medications. The observed patterns were more complex than a linear model of disease staging would suggest.
