Chinese version of Problem Areas in Diabetes Scale (PAID-C), Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) and Diabetes Self-Management Behaviour for Older (DSMB-O) were employed. Student’s t-test, one-way ANOVA or the nonparametric analysis (Mann–Whitney U-test), Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation model (SEM) were used to analyse the data.Results: A total of 264 participants (157 males [59.47%], with an average age of 71.07± 6.47 years) were included in the study; their duration of T2DM ranged from 5 to 30 years, with a mean duration of 11.19± 6.96 years. The DSMB-O scores exhibited a negative correlation with the PAID-C scores (r=− 0.250, p< 0.01), while showing a positive correlation with PACIC scores (r=0.348, p< 0.01). Additionally, PAID-C scores demonstrated a negative correlation with PACIC scores (r=− 0.182, p< 0.01). The indirect effect of PAID-C on DSMB-O through PACIC was calculated as (− 0.70*-0.39=0.27). Furthermore, the total effect of PAID-C on DSMB-O via PACIC was determined to be (0.27+0.22=0.49). Notably, the mediating effect accounted for 54.99%.Conclusion: Psychological distress is intricately linked to self-management behaviour among elderly patients suffering from T2DM and chronic complications. Our findings carry significant implications for T2DM healthcare, indicating that addressing psychological distress may enhance the quality of chronic illnesses, ultimately fostering improved self-management practices and yielding better health outcomes.Keywords: psychological distress, chronic illness care, self-management behaviors, elderly, type 2 diabetes mellitus |
