Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of regimen distress in the relationship between medication adher ence and glycemic control in men with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: A total of 116 patients with type 2 diabetes was recruited for the cross-sectional survey design. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson`s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression using Baron and Kenny steps for mediation.
Results: The mean score for medication adherence was 6.32, and the mean glycemic control level (HbA1c) was 7.47%. The mean score was 2.37 for regimen distress. There were significant correlations among medi cation adherence, regimen distress, and HbA1c. Regimen distress had a partial mediating effect (β=.22, p=.005) in the relationship be tween medication adherence and HbA1c (Sobel test: Z=2.47, p=.013).
Conclusion: Regimen distress was found to be associated with gly cemic control in men with type 2 diabetes. Based on the findings of this study, nursing intervention programs focusing on decreasing regi men distress are highly recommended to improve level of glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.
