Abstract
The present research investigated the effect of temporal decision and diabetes management self-efficacy on medication adherence of individuals with type 2 diabetes. It was hypothesized that individuals with high consideration of future consequences are likely to adhere to diabetic medication. Correlational research design was used. The sample comprised of 143 individuals with type 2 diabetes. Consideration of Future Consequences-14 Scale (Strathman, Gleicher, Boninger, & Edwards, 1994), Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (Bijl, Poelgeest-Eeltink, & Shortridge, 1999) and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (Morisky, Green, & Levine, 1986) were used. Data was collected through purposive sampling technique. The results indicated that consideration for consequences (immediate & future) were differentially correlated with domains of diabetes management self-efficacy and medication adherence. Further, all domains of diabetes management self-efficacy showed positive relationship with adherence. Consideration of future consequences predicted adherence to Diabetic medication. Findings suggest that temporal orientation plays an important part in an individual’s medication adherence in Type 2 diabetes.
