Medical alliances and diabetes-related distress in China: role of self-efficacy as a partial mediator
Compact medical alliances reduced diabetic patients' diabetes-related distress significantly more than general medical alliances. Self-efficacy was a mediator between medical alliances and diabetes-related distress. Accelerating the transformation of the compact medical alliances can decrease diabetes-related distress and provide an integrated program of education, diabetes cognition and optimal sleep and exercise regimens to reduce diabetes-related distress.
