Objectives: Evaluation of diabetes distress in patients with type 2 diabetes under 60 years old and some related factors. Research method: A cross – sectional study was including T2D inpatients at service department of National Hospital of Endocrinology, aged between 18 to 60 years, between August 2022 to July 2023. The study used Vietnamese version of Diabetes Distress scale (DDS) including 17 items. The means total distress score was calculated on the average of 17 items. A mean score of equal to 2.0 or higher was classified as moderate to severe distress. Descriptive statistic were performed by frequency and percentage, calculate Odds Ratio (OR) and Confidence Interval, (CI) p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result: Atotal of 119 participants. The study showed that 68.8% of them were unstability nercrotisim; 34.5% and 24.45% of them being moderately or highily distress, respectively; distress in emotional burden was highest (65.5%). Diabetes distress has been found to be significantly associated with poor economy(OR: 3,3 CI95% 1,1-11,5), poor glycemic control (OR: 54, CI95% 1,6-17,8), complications, severe hypoglycemia, poor diet adherence (OR 3,1 CI95% 1,5-6,6) and regularly adherence, unstable personality(OR: 3,8 CI95% 1,5-9,4) (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of stress is high in patients with diabetes under the age of 60. Poor economy, poor diet and regularly adherence, multiple complications(OR: 3,3 CI95% 1,1-17,8), poor glycemic control and unstable personality increase the risk of diabetes stress.
