Mediation Effect of Self-Efficacy Between Health Beliefs and Glycated Haemoglobin Levels in Elderly Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-Sectional Study.
To explore the mediating effect of self-efficacy in the relationship between glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and health beliefs in community elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. ⋯ Health beliefs influenced the improvement of self-efficacy in older patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which in turn could improve HbA1c control. Self-efficacy plays a partial mediating role between health beliefs and Hba1c levels in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.

Effectiveness of a Nursing Intervention Module on Adherence, Knowledge, Quality of Life, and Complications Among Patients Receiving Anticoagulation therapy-a Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol.
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the major causes of mortality at the global level. They account for approximately 17.9 million deaths per year. Warfarin and acenocoumarol are the commonly used oral anticoagulants to treat and prevent thromboembolic disorders in patients with cardiovascular diseases. In India, approximately 2-2.5 million patients with rheumatic heart disease are receiving oral anticoagulation therapy. Additionally, this therapy is provided for stroke prevention in the case of atrial fibrillation and the treatment of valvular heart disease, stroke, and deep vein thrombosis. As the therapeutic range of these drugs is narrow and is affected by many factors, their use is challenging. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a nursing intervention module in terms of adherence to therapy, knowledge, quality of life, and complications among patients receiving oral anticoagulation therapy. Furthermore, this study will address factors that affect adherence and the risk for bleeding by using a randomized controlled trial design. ⋯ Patient safety can be best achieved through patients' adherence to medication dose and monitoring of blood test values. Thromboembolic and bleeding complications are likely to occur when either the patient does not adhere to the treatment or the therapeutic range of the international normalized ratio is not maintained. This study will assess the nonadherence behavior and the effectiveness of a nursing intervention module toward adherence behavior.

Social Support and Self-Efficacy as Mediating Factors Affecting the Association Between Depression and Medication Adherence in Older Patients with Coronary Heart Disease: A Multiple Mediator Model with a Cross-Sectional Study.
Medication non-adherence is a major public health issue. Recent evidence suggests that depression, inadequate social support, and lower levels of self-efficacy are associated with poor medication adherence. However, the mechanism underlying the association among depression, social support, self-efficacy and medication adherence is unclear. This study aims to examine the mediating role of social support and self-efficacy between depression and medication adherence in older patients with coronary heart disease. ⋯ Social support and self-efficacy explain the association of depression and medication adherence in older CHD patients and may be the keys target for enhanced intervention to improve medication adherence in older CHD patients with depression.
