Abstract
Diabetes is one of the major health issues of non-communicable diseases.Illness perception and social support of persons with type 2 diabetes and their relationships with lifestyle behaviors in Nepal were little known. This study aimed to examine the associations of illness perception and social support with the lifestyle behavior of persons with type 2 diabetes in Nepal guided by the Commonsense Model. A total of 134 participants attending the outpatient endocrinology department in Bir Hospital,Kathmandu, Nepal, were recruited in this study. The research instruments comprised the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, the Social Support Scale, and the Lifestyle Behavior Scale. Descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, one-way ANOVA, and independent t-test were used for the data analysis. The results showed social support had a positive relationship with lifestyle behavior. Having a better illness perception was associated with better lifestyle behavior. In addition, people with a high income and a family history of diabetes had healthier lifestyles than those with a low income and without a family history of diabetes. These findings illustrated that nurses should assess
and promote positive illness perception and social support among people with type 2 diabetes to inspire them to have lifestyle behavior better for controlling blood sugar levels.
