Testing a Model of Diabetes Self-Care Management: A Causal Model Analysis with LISREL.
Nowacek, George A.; And Others
Evaluation and the Health Professions, v13 n3 p298-314 Sep 1990
A diabetes-management model is presented, which includes an attitudinal element and depicts relationships among causal elements. LISREL-VI was used to analyze data from 115 Type-I and 105 Type-II patients. The data did not closely fit the model. Results support the importance of the personal meaning of diabetes. (TJH)
