Does diabetes‐related distress explain the presence of depressive symptoms and/or poor self‐care in individuals with Type 1 diabetes?
Open accessAbstract
Diabet. Med. 27, 234–237 (2010) Aims To examine the relationship between depressive symptomatology, diabetes‐related distress and aspects of diabetes self‐care in a cohort of individuals with Type 1 diabetes. Methods Individuals with Type 1 diabetes taking part in the Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications Study completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES‐D) Scale and the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) scale. Self‐care was measured by physical activity in the past week and over the previous year, frequency of blood glucose/urine testing, smoking status and alcohol intake. Results Clinically significant levels of depressive symptomatology (i.e. scores ≥ 16) were reported by 14% of the study population on the BDI and by 18% on the CES‐D. There were strong correlations between depressive symptoms and diabetes‐related distress (PAID scores) and physical activity. Multivariate analyses indicated that depression was independently associated with diabetes‐related distress scores and with physical activity, but not with frequency of blood glucose testing. Conclusions These findings have implications for clinical practice and treatment of both psychological morbidity and diabetes. There may be significant effects of depression on aspects of diabetes self‐care. Further prospective studies are required to confirm these findings.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
