Key Points

  • The research aims to assess the prevalence and predictors of diabetes distress among individuals with type 2 diabetes in the Volta Region of Ghana.
  • Conducted a health facility-based cross-sectional study.
  • Assessed participants with type 2 diabetes for levels of diabetes distress.
  • Identified factors predicting diabetes distress through surveys and questionnaires.
  • High prevalence of diabetes distress was found among participants.
  • Mental health issues significantly correlate with poor diabetes management outcomes.
  • Identification of key predictors can inform future interventions.

Abstract

The high prevalence of diabetes distress highlights the mental health burden of T2D and gaps in management, a critical factor for poor T2D outcomes. This may decelerate progress towards the achievement of SDG 3.4 aiming to reduce premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment, and promote mental health and well-being by 2030.
