Abstrakt: Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify psychosocial factors associated with depressive symptoms in Hispanic patients with diabetes and explore the extent to which their effects may vary by gender and acculturation.
Methods: The authors completed a secondary analysis of data from 247 Hispanic adults with type 2 diabetes. Gender and language groups were compared using chi-square and t tests. Hierarchical multiple regression was used to examine associations of depressive symptoms with perceived support, diabetes-related distress, and social and personal factors.
Results: Women reported less support than men. English speakers reported more depressive symptoms than Spanish speakers. When adjusting for age, gender, and acculturation, psychosocial factors significantly associated with depressive symptoms included less support received, greater emotional burden, and less ability to socialize or pursue normal activities because of diabetes.
Conclusions: Social support provided by family among less acculturated Hispanics may play an important role in reducing emotional burden and lowering the risk of comorbid depression. The quality of interpersonal relationships and the ability to continue normal activities may also be important. More acculturated Hispanic women with diabetes may be at greater risk for comorbid depression and worse health outcomes. Screening for depression and assessment of support needs is warranted for Hispanic women.
