Role of perceived organization support to promote diabetes treatment among workers

Abstract

This study investigated association of Perceived Organization Support (POS) with diabetes treatment among workers. This prospective cohort study was conducted online, and parts of nations wide study stratified similarly with workers’ characteristic in Japan. Samples were screened to those who had diabetes in the baseline years. Binary regression analysis and p for trend were used for statistical analysis. There were 1,203 participants with diabetes followed up regarding their treatment behavior. Higher POS were likely to seek appropriate diabetes treatment after adjustment with personal and occupational factors (p=0.032) but became marginally significant when adjusted with night shift status (p=0.051). Further analysis found that POS was only associated with diabetes treatment among workers with night shift. Higher POS was likely associated with proper diabetes treatment specifically among workers with night shift.
