摘要
Objectives: It is found that there is a growing level of mortality among people with diabetic diseases. However, factors like social support and positive behavior change tend to play a substantial role in dealing with such mental worries. Methods: Based upon the given thoughts, this research examines the impact of social support and behavioral changes on health behavior in the form of diabetic health worries. For this purpose, the study will collect the sample using the survey questionnaire technique. A sample of 357 respondents has empirically been analyzed by applying advanced statistical techniques, such as testing for the reliability and validity of the latent constructs and relative items, discriminant validity, and structural equation modeling techniques. Results: The study findings confirm that the latent constructs are significantly represented by the latent items of social support, behavioral changes, and health behaviors, respectively. Moreover, the findings through structural equation modeling reveal a significant and productive impact of social support and behavioral changes in improving the health behaviors like low mental worries of and diabetes. Conclusion: The study provides some meaningful policy implications in determining how the role of social support and behavioral changes would be reflected in the form of low diabetic health worries. Besides, a few limitations have also been expressed.
