Objective: To analyze the relation of depressive symptoms to personality traits and exercise behavior in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Totally 718 patients with type 2 diabetes were included in this study. They were assessed with the Patient Health Questionnaire-8(PHQ-8) and Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory Brief version (CBF-PI-B) . Logistic model was established to analyze the associations between depressive symptoms and different personality traits among patients with type 2 diabetes, and further estimated the moderating effect of exercise behavior. Results: Totally 161 patients had depressive symptoms ( 22. 4%). Neuroticism and agreeableness (OR = 1. 08, 1. 08) were associated with having depressive symptoms. People who had exercise, being male, with longer duration of diagnosis were more likely to have no depressive symptoms ( OR = 0. M, 0. 47, 0. 62), whereas people who had taken medication/insulin were more likely to have depressive symptoms ( OR = 2. 23). Exercise could reduce the association between neuroticism and depression ( OR = 0. 95), but had no effect on the relationship between agreeableness and depression ( P > 0. 05). Conclusion: Neuroticism and agreeableness are associated with depression in patients with type 2 diabetes. Exercise has a significant moderating effect on the association between neuroticism trait and depression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective:To explore the relation of depression to quality of life and family support in patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods:Totally 775 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from 4 community health care centers of Beijing were collected.They were assessed with the eight-item Patient Health Questionnaire depression scale(PHQ-8), Diabetes Specific Quality of Life Scale(DSQL),self-compiled Diabetes Family Support Questionnaire and self-compiled Diabetes Self-Efficacy Questionnaire.A binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the related factors of depression in patients with type 2 diabetes.Results:The positive rate of depression symptom screening was 16.8%(130/775).In the binary logistic regression model,females(OR=1.85),patients under 50 years old(OR=2.57) and with a disease course within 5 years(OR=2.91) were more likely to have depression symptoms.Patients with better quality of life(DSQL score,OR=0.10) and family criticism support better supplydemand matching(OR=0.62) were less likely to have depression symptoms.Conclusion:Female,younger age,shorter disease course,poorer quality of life and family criticism support with poorer supply-demand matching may be risk factors of depression symptoms in patients with type 2 diabetes in community.
