Abstract

<p>This study was designed to examine the effects of working environment and rationalization (justifying reason why they could not do) as defense mechanism on HbA1c and dietary habits of workers with diabetes mellitus. The participants were 303 workers with type 2 diabetes. A two-factor analysis of variance was conducted with working environment (good group vs poor group) and rationalization (low group vs high group) as independent variables and HbA1c and eating habits (dietary balance and irregular diet) as dependent variables. The results were as follows. HbA1c and dietary balance tended to be worse in the high rationalization group. Moreover, poor working environment led to irregular diet. Accordingly, workers with type 2 diabetes showed that poor work environment aggravated their eating habits, and that rationalizing the inability to self-care worsened eating habits and glycemic control.</p>
