WELL-BEING OF PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES: ROLE OF SELF-EFFICACY AND OUTCOME EXPECTANCY

Meera Padhy, Purvi Chottai, R. Lalnuntluangi

Abstract


The objective of the present study was to investigate the role of self-efficacy and outcome expectancy in the well-being of Type 2 diabetes patients. One hundred fifty participants were made to fill out a Multidimensional Diabetes Questionnaire (MDQ) and Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) along with a demographic questionnaire. Hierarchical regression analysis was computed to identify the psychological and demographic constructs. The results indicated a positive correlation between self-efficacy, outcome expectancy, and well-being. Outcome expectancy was seen to be a significant indicator of well-being in all the models considered in the hierarchical regression analysis. The results also indicated that men have a higher sense of well-being than women. The findings are indicative of development of various intervention strategies that can improve the self-efficacy and the beliefs about the illness in order to enhance the well-being of the diabetes patients.
