Abstract

Research suggests that increased collaboration and satisfaction in the patient-provider relationship is associated with better outcomes in patients with diabetes. In adults, an interpersonal style characterized by low trust of others and excessive self-reliance is known as "dismissing attachment style." We hypothesized that diabetic patients with dismissing attachment style, due to a decreased ability to collaborate with providers and others, would have significantly higher HbA(1c) levels than patients with secure attachment style. From 276 adult tertiary care patients with type 1 diabetes, we obtained mean HbA(1c) levels over the prior year and assessed patient attachment style, demographics, and clinical characteristics. We used chi(2) tests and logistic regression to determine whether attachment style was associated with HbA(1c) levels. We found that 62% of patients with dismissing attachment style had mean HbA(1c) levels >or=8% compared with 34% of patients with secure attachment style (P = 0.002). After adjusting for demographics, diabetes severity, medical comorbidity, and depression, dismissing attachment style remained significantly associated with HbA(1c) levels >or=8%, compared with secure attachment style (odds ratio...Continue Reading
