Depression in adults with type 2 diabetes: The role of adherence, body mass index, and self-efficacy
Article Abstract:
A growing body of research indicates that depression might play a role in the development and worsening of diabetes and diabetes related health outcomes but the factors contributing to this link is not established. However the role of adherence, body mass index, and self-efficacy are examined and the findings are consistent with the proposal that lower self-efficacy in reaction to adherence failure and higher BMI contributes to depression in adults with diabetes.
