Abstract

BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the 2030 Diabetes Camp program on depression, anxiety, and stress among diabetic patients.
METHODS
This study enrolled diabetic patients who participated in the 16th 2030 Diabetes Camp program sponsored by the Korean Diabetes Association on January 18~19, 2014. Depression was measured using the Beck depression inventory scale. Anxiety was measured using Spielberger's state anxiety scale and stress was measured using the Problem Areas in Diabetes-Korea (PAID-K) scale.
RESULTS
There was a total of 29 subjects, 13 male subjects (44.8%) and 16 female subjects (55.2%). The mean age was 29.9 ± 9.7 years. Twenty patients (69.0%) had type 1 diabetes mellitus, mean illness duration was 7.5 ± 6.5 years, and mean HbA1c was 8.3% ± 1.8%. Depression score was significantly reduced from 15.7 ± 10.3 before the camp program to 12.6 ± 10.5 after the camp program (P = 0.005). The degree of anxiety decreased significantly from 46.8 ± 10.9 before the start of the camp program to 37.8 ± 9.6 after the start of the camp program (P < 0.001). Stress level was also decreased significantly from 42.4 ± 15.9 points to 37.9 ± 15.5 points before and after the camp program, respectively (P = 0.023).
CONCLUSION
The degree of depression was high in diabetic patients, and this diabetic camp program was effective in reducing depression, anxiety, and stress in diabetic patients.
