A Chinese study reveals how empowerment influences the quality of life of diabetic patients by moderating the impact of stigma.
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Oct 23 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. A recent BMC Public Health Study explores the moderating role of empowerment and the mediating role of stigma in the association between quality of life and psychological resilience among diabetic patients in China.
QoL encompasses how individuals view their social, psychological, and physical well-being. Research has shown that QoL is lower among DM patients than those without DM, thus indicating the importance of maintaining QoL in DM patients. About the study A moderated mediation model was developed to assess further the association between QoL, PR, stigma, and empowerment. The first hypothesis was to understand the mediating role of stigma between QoL and PR, while the second study goal was to study whether empowerment moderated the relationship between QoL, stigma, and PR.
Key findings PR significantly affected stigma at high levels of empowerment among DM patients. Furthermore, QoL was significantly impacted by stigma at high or low levels of empowerment. Comparatively, lower PR could indicate that individuals will get more anxious, thereby raising stigma and lowering QoL. Therefore, for effective DM management, attention should be paid to the indirect impact of PR on QoL through stigma, in addition to the direct effect of PR on QoL.
