Abstract

Session presented on: Monday, November 18, 2013:

Translation of interventions may be influenced by individual or populations characteristics. In our program project grant we are examining factors which will impact the translation of behavioral interventions. One factor is the complexity of care the patient is managing reflected in the number of co-morbidities the patient has. This presentation examines the relationship of co-morbidities and self-efficacy across four populations and the potential mediating relationship of quality of life, depression, and number of medications prescribed. The sample consisted of 462 persons participating in one of four studies examining behavioral interventions to improve adherence or management of medications. The populations consisted of caregivers of adults with cognitive decline (3M), adults with diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia (HABIT), adults with diabetes and depression (CONCORDANCE), and adults with obesity (SELF). The sample was 70.3% white, 69.2% female, with an average age of 59 years and an average of 15 years of formal education. Data across the studies suggested there was a low but significant negative relationship between the number of co-morbidities and self-efficacy (r=-0.224, p
