Abstract

Purpose Diabetes is increasingly prevalent, and nonadherence with diabetes treatment regimens is associated with physical and social costs. Psychological predictors of adherence have been investigated in the literature, including cognitive factors. The present meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the association between beliefs related to diabetes and adherence to diabetes regimens. Methods Studies that measured both (a) beliefs, perceptions, or cognitions about diabetes and (b) the relationship between such cognitive factors and blood glucose levels or other adherence behaviors were included. This research focused on adults with any type of diabetes, reaching a final sample of 48 studies. The effect size r was calculated for all types of beliefs and outcomes. Results The types of beliefs most strongly associated with adherence were self-efficacy, perceiving a positive relationship with physician, and beliefs about the personal consequences of adherence. A few limitations of this meta-analysis are that studies were only retrieved through databases and other sources were not searched, only articles in English were included, and only adult participants were included. Conclusions People who are more adherent have a higher level of confidence in their ability to follow medical recommendations, expect more meaningful positive consequences for adherence, and perceive a more positive relationship with their health care provider. Educators and clinicians could use cognitive restructuring techniques to facilitate these types of beliefs and perceptions in people with diabetes.

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.
