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.
