Key result
Negative affectivity associated with Type D personality explained 43.4% of the variance in depression among women with Type 2 diabetes, followed by role strain (3%) and diabetes distress (2.5%).
Why the study?
Women with diabetes face a significantly elevated risk of developing depression, making clarification of associated factors critical to designing timely interventions.
What is the impact of Type D personality, diabetes-care-related role strain, and diabetes-related distress on depression in women with Type 2 diabetes?
Cross-Sectional (n=298)
Yes
What is the impact of Type D personality, diabetes-care-related role strain, and diabetes-related distress on depression in women with Type 2 diabetes?
Negative affectivity associated with Type D personality is a major factor associated with depression in women with Type 2 diabetes, explaining 43.4% of the variance.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May inform screening for Type D personality and distress in women with T2D; leaves open causal effects and intervention needs.
Chen et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes (n=298). Type D personality (negative affectivity), diabetes-care-related role strain, and diabetes-related distress was evaluated on Depression. Negative affectivity associated with Type D personality explained 43.4% of the variance in depression among women with Type 2 diabetes, followed by role strain (3%) and diabetes distress (2.5%).
