At the same time, anxious and depressive disorders were assessed with HAD.Results:Among our sample, 35 (20.3%) patients with anxiety, 33 (19.2%) with depression. After adjusting for gender, age, marital status, educational level and income, multivariate logistic regression analysis found the following results. Perceived stress from "Worrying about to be harmed by the disease"(OR=1.76,95%CI 1.12~2.77),"Social/family crisis caused by the disease"(OR=1.85, 95%CI 1.18~2.92),"Worrying about declining in body/physical function"(OR=2.16, 95%CI 1.28~3.67), "Declined economic condition"(OR=2.03,95%CI 1.27~3.26)and "Negative coping styles"(OR=1.94,95%CI 1.26~2.97)were significantly associated with anxious disorders. The perceived stress from "Social/family crisis caused by disease"(OR=1.79, 95%CI 1.09~2.96), "Worrying about declining in body/physical function"(OR=2.89, 95%CI 1.59~5.24)and "Negative coping styles"(OR=1.95,95%CI 1.23~3.11)were significantly associated with depressive disorders, while patients "Taking avoidant measures"(OR=0.52, 95%CI 0.30~0.90)were less depressive disorders.Conclusion: Anxious and depressive disorders in patients with 2 type diabetes were significantly associated with patients' perceived stress from the disease and their coping styles.
