PG - 108256 LID - S1056-8727(22)00165-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2022.108256 [doi] AB - AIMS: To establish cut-points and thresholds for elevated diabetes distress; document change over time; and define minimal clinically important differences (MCID) using the new Type 2 Diabetes Distress Assessment System (T2-DDAS). METHODS: A national sample of adults with type 2 diabetes completed the T2-DDAS CORE distress scale and the 7 T2-DDAS SOURCE distress scales at baseline and 6-months. Scores were computed separately for insulin- and non-insulin users. Spline regression models defined CORE cut-points and SEM formulas defined MCID. A rational "threshold" approach defined elevated SOURCE scores. RESULTS: 471 participants (205 insulin, 266 non-insulin) completed both assessments. Analyses yielded >/=2.0 as the cut-point for both elevated CORE and elevated SOURCE. Prevalence of elevated CORE was 61.8 % (69.9 % over 6 months). Elevated SOURCE scores varied from 30.6 % (Stigma/Shame) to 76.4 % (Management); 87.5 % indicated at least 1 elevated SOURCE score. Most (77.1 %) reported multiple elevated SOURCES. 81.8 % with elevated CORE distress at baseline remained elevated at 6 months. MCID analyses yielded +/- 0.25 as significant change. Few differences between insulin- and non-insulin users occurred. CONCLUSIONS: Elevated CORE distress is highly prevalent and persistent over time; most participants reported multiple SOURCES of distress. Findings highlight the need for comprehensive assessment of diabetes distress. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
