Does Diabetes Related Distress Impact on Balance Glycemic ?

Completed
Conditions
Diabetes
Registration Number
NCT05831384
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

The main objective is to assess the overall diabetes distress score in adult patients with diabetes during their hospitalization in a diabetes ward, using the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS-17).

The correlation between the overall diabetes distress score and the patient's glycosylated haemoglobin will then be assessed.

Detailed Description

The health consequences of emotional problems are associated with poor self-care behaviour, poor metabolic outcomes (HbA1c) and reduced quality of life. If quarterly glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) testing is the gold standard for monitoring the risk of diabetes complications, should it not be systematically combined with the assessment of distress related to living with diabetes? To our knowledge, there are few studies in France that have correlated glycaemic control with a scale assessing the emotional stress factors associated with diabetes.

The main objective is to evaluate diabetes-related distress in adult patients with diabetes during their hospitalization in a diabetes ward, using a self-assessment instrument: the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS-17).

The secondary objective is to assess the correlation between the overall diabetes distress score and the patient's glycosylated haemoglobin.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall diabetes distress scoreat baseline

The primary endpoint is the overall diabetes distress score obtained by the DDS-17 psychometric tool. Each item is rated on a 6-point scale ranging from (1) "not a problem" to (6) "a very significant problem".

Each of the 17 criteria of the DDS17 is rated on a 6-point scale ranging from (1) "not a problem" to (6) "a very important problem".

The scale gives an overall distress score based on the average responses on the 1-6 scale for the 17 items.

Interpretation of the DDS 17 total scores:

* Mean score \< 2.0 = reflects little or no distress

* Mean score between 2.0 and 2.9 = reflects moderate distress

* Mean score \> 3.0 = reflects high distress.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The The patient's glycated haemoglobin (Hba1c) result, expressed as a %, taken during the standard check-up on the day of admission to hospital result (Hba1c)at baseline

The patient's glycated haemoglobin (Hba1c) result, expressed as a %, taken during the standard check-up on the day of admission to hospital.
