Overview

Scoping review examines self-efficacy and self-care behaviors influencing glycaemic control and quality of life in adults with type 2 diabetes, highlighting implications for tailored interventions.

Key Points

  • This scoping review explores the relationships between self-efficacy, self-care, glycaemic control, and health-related quality of life in adults with type 2 diabetes.
  • Conducted a systematic search from January 2016 to March 2026 across four databases following PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
  • Included 13 studies with 5784 adults aged ≥ 18 years diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
  • Analyzed diverse study designs, including cross-sectional, longitudinal, quasi-experimental, and randomized controlled trials.
  • Self-efficacy significantly predicted self-care behaviors and glycaemic control, with a strong association with HbA1c levels.
  • Interventions based on social cognitive theory resulted in clinically meaningful HbA1c reductions and improved health-related quality of life.
  • Identified high-risk subgroups through cluster analyses, suggesting the need for individualized intervention strategies.
