很少有研究探讨糖尿病困扰的保护因素。本研究旨在探讨社会支持在糖尿病负担和糖尿病困扰之间关系中的调节作用。2 型糖尿病成人（N = 119；29% 拉丁裔、61% 黑人、25% 白人）完成了糖尿病困扰和社会支持的验证测量。多元线性回归评估了社会支持在糖尿病负担（通过胰岛素处方和并发症的存在）和痛苦之间的关系中的调节作用。控制负担后，较高的支持满意度与较低的痛苦显着相关。支持满意度和支持数量显着调节糖尿病负担和痛苦之间的关系。事后调查揭示了一个一致的模式：在低支持水平下，胰岛素与更多的糖尿病困扰显着相关，但在高支持水平下则不然。研究结果支持压力缓冲假说，并表明社会支持可以预防糖尿病困扰。
Few studies have examined protective factors for diabetes distress.This study aimed to examine the moderating role of social support in the relationship between the burden of diabetes and diabetes distress.Adults with type 2 diabetes (N = 119; 29 % Latino, 61 % Black, 25 % White) completed validated measures of diabetes distress and social support. Multiple linear regression evaluated the moderating role of social support in the relationship between diabetes burden, indicated by prescription of insulin and presence of complications, and distress.Greater support satisfaction was significantly associated with lower distress after controlling for burden. Support satisfaction and number of supports significantly moderated the relationship between diabetes burden and distress. Post hoc probing revealed a consistent pattern: Insulin was significantly associated with more diabetes distress at low levels of support but was not at high levels of support.Findings support the stress-buffering hypothesis and suggest that social support may protect against diabetes distress.
