[article]  inArchives of Psychiatric Nursing > Vol.31 No.2 (Apr) 2017 [09/13/2017] . - p.190-196 Title : Diabetes Knowledge Among Adults with Serious Mental Illness and Comorbid Diabetes Mellitus Material Type: printed text Authors: Wykes, Thomas L., Author ; Lee, Aron A., Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.190-196 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Keywords: Diabetes Knowledge.Adults.Mental Illness.Comorbid Diabets Mellitus. Abstract: This study examined the association between psychiatric symptoms and diabetes knowledge (DK) among 90 adults with serious mental illness (SMI) and type 2 diabetes. The relationship between DK and glucose control (i.e., A1C) was also examined. In a hierarchical linear regression, greater negative symptom severity and lower cognitive functioning both predicted lower DK, though cognitive functioning superseded negative symptom severity when analyzed simultaneously. A Pearson correlation showed no significant relationship between DK and A1C. Although symptom severity and cognitive functioning are both related to DK among this population, cognitive functioning maybe particularly important.
