Association between Diabetes-Related Distress and Medication Adherence among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Southwest Nigerian.
Review in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Diabetes-related distress is a common complication that usually impacts the well-being, health outcomes and adherence to medications, especially in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Hence, this study aimed to estimate diabetes-related-distress and its association with medication adherence. Methodology: This is a hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted among 135 patients with T2DM recruited consecutively from a diabetes clinic of a tertiary health institution, Southwest, Nigeria, from March to September 2022. Data were obtained using the Diabetes Distress Scale (DSS-17) questionnaire and Morisky's Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8). The association between the dependent variable (DRD) and the independent variable (medication adherence) was assessed with chi-square, and predictors of DSS with logistic regression analysis. The ethical approval was obtained from the committee of the hospital. Results: The mean age of study participants, and duration of diabetes were 62.20 ± 12.80 years and 7.96 ±7.01 years, respectively. The proportion of diabetes distress among the study population was 30.5% (8.3 % had high distress and 22.2 % moderate distress). Poor adherence to medications was 66.5%. The study showed that diabetes-related distress was associated with poor medication adherence ( Conclusion: Our findings suggest that diabetes distress is a common issue and significantly determines medication adherence. Thus, incorporating routine screening for distress into the standard diabetes care will be an important intervention to improve adherence and health outcomes of people living with T2DM.
