Abstract

Background:The prevalence of diabetes is increasing. The goal of diabetes control is keeping blood sugar in

ideal range which indicates the importance of self-care behaviors.

Purposes: The purposes of this study were to investigate the relationship among self-ef cacy, social support,

and self-care behaviors, and variables signi cantly associated with self-care behaviors.

Methods: The cross-sectional survey method was used. A total of 600 type 2 diabetes patients were recruited
from outpatient Diabetes Shared Care department in a medical center in northern Taiwan. The structured

questionnaires, including demographic characteristics, self-ef cacy, social support, and self-care behaviors

were administered.

Results: The ndings were as follows: (1) 53 % patients were overweight or obesity, 52.5% had other kinds

of chronic diseases. (2) The average score of self-ef cacy was 4.27. The average score of social support was
3.95. The average score of self-care was 4.08. (3) Patients who were aged over 65 years old, suffering over 10

years, illiterate, taking oral medication, had better self-care behaviors. Patients with graduated above senior

high school and without other kinds of chronic diseases had better glucose test adherence. (4) self-ef cacy
and social support had positive correlation with self-care behaviors (r= .872 and .824, respectively, p< .001).

(5) Age, body weight, treatment methods, self-ef cacy and social support may explain 79.1% total amounts

of variation.

Conclusions/Implications for Practice: Nurses could promote patients’ ability of self-ef cacy and reinforce 健
康
of social support to get self-care behaviors. The results of this study could be used as a reference for clinical 與
diabetes nursing care.
