Abstract EN
The aim of this study was to explore predictors of health related quality of life (HRQoL) among men and women with type 2 diabetes.
This cross-sectional descriptive study consisted of a random sample of 300 adults with type 2 diabetes in a selected public hospital.
Euro-QoL and Revised Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities scales were used to collect data between January and June 2010.
Schooling and ability to manage positively were highly significant predictors of quality of life (QoL) among women as compared to men.
Age, prevention of activities of daily living and knowledge/management of diabetes were significant predictors of Health state among women as compared to men.
Findings demonstrate that 30.6% (versus 35.7%) of the variance in the total QoL and 14% (versus 23%) of the variance in health state could be explained by personal and clinical characteristics among women and men, respectively.
The study underlines the importance for nurse educators to assess HRQoL among men and women and to develop effective self-care management strategies based on personal and clinical characteristics.
