dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to explore the impact of psychosocial and personal challenges experienced by Type 2 diabetes patients on their perceived vulnerability to illness. It focused on understanding how difficulties in diabetes management influence this perception. The study included 156 Type 2 diabetic patients treated in a university hospital in eastern Türkiye. Data were collected using the Participant Introduction Form, Strengths and Difficulties in Diabetes Scale, and Perception of Vulnerability to Diseases Scale. Statistical analyses included independent t-tests, ANOVA, and structural equation modeling. Participants had an average age of 56.00±14.68 years, with a mean HbA1C level of 10.75±2.10. 69% did not exercise regularly, and 74.2% did not fully adhere to their diets. A positive correlation was found between high HbA1C levels and psychosocial and individual difficulties. Individual challenges positively affected vulnerability perception, while psychosocial challenges showed a negative relationship. Diabetes management requires not only medical treatment but also education, psychosocial support, and individualized care. These holistic approaches can reduce vulnerability perceptions and enhance health outcomes, highlighting the need for education and psychosocial support programs. © 2025, Inonu University.
