The Role of Diabetes Distress and Self-Efficacy as Mediators of Barriers to Diabetes Self-Management in Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study

What is it about?

Structural, contextual, and psychosocial factors have been linked to reduced diabetes self-management. We examined the mediation of psychosocial factors and found that diabetes distress likely mediates both the effects of unmet social needs and gender on diabetes self-management behaviors. Self-efficacy also played a role but was a partial mediator only in the relationship between unmet social needs and self-management.
