Abstract: (1049 Views)
Background: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between stigma associated with type 2 diabetes and subjective well-being measures (life satisfaction and positive/negative affect) mediated by emotional stress and illness perception in people with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: The present research was descriptive based on correlation models. The statistical population included patients with type 2 diabetes who referred to the diabetes clinic of Ayatollah Taleghani hospital in Kermanshah, 207 adults were selected using the convenient sampling method and data were collected using questionnaires Type 2 Diabetes Stigma Assessment Scale (DSAS-2) (Browne et al., 2016), life satisfaction (Diener, 1985), Positive/Negative Affect Schedule (Watson et al., 1988), Illness Perception (Broadbent et al., 2006) then analyzed with SPSS and Amos software.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between stigma, life satisfaction, and positive/negative affect (P < 0.01). Stigma was also able to predict life satisfaction indirectly and negatively through emotional distress, and negative affect indirectly and positively through emotional distress and illness perception.
Conclusion: The results indicate the need for interventions to reduce the stigma associated with type 2 diabetes and improve the mental well-being of people with this disease.
