AB  - OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of Type D 
      personality and assess the relationship between this personality type and 
      self-efficacy/social support in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus 
      (T2DM). PATIENTS AND METHODS: From January 1, 2014, to July 31, 2014, 532 
      consecutive patients with T2DM were recruited from two hospitals in Guangzhou, 
      China. The participants completed questionnaires containing questions about 
      sociodemographic characteristics, Type D personality, self-efficacy, and social 
      support scales, and their medical records were reviewed for additional data. 
      RESULTS: Of the 532 patients, 18.2% had Type D personality. Patients with this 
      personality type reported significantly lower levels of self-efficacy (P<0.001), 
      total social support (P<0.001), subjective support (P<0.001), and support 
      utilization (P=0.003), but similar level of objective support (P=0.314), compared 
      to those of patients without Type D personality. Negative affectivity and social 
      inhibition, two intrinsic traits of Type D personality, negatively correlated 
      with self-efficacy and social support scores. Type D personality was 
      significantly associated with less self-efficacy and social support (P<0.001), 
      controlling for other sociodemographic factors. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) 
      levels were significantly higher in T2DM patients with Type D personality than in 
      patients with non-Type D personality. CONCLUSION: This study provides new 
      evidence linking Type D personality with self-efficacy, social support, and poor 
      glycemic control, highlighting the special need for care among T2DM patients with 
      Type D personality.
