Summary: This study aims to establish an open-access database of Arabic health measures and conduct a bibliometric analysis of the included measures. The study found a limited quantity and quality of research on Arabic health measures, but the number of publications has increased steadily in recent years. Most studies focused on mental health and function/disability measures. The establishment of the Arabic Health Measures database will contribute to the visibility and utilization of these tools in research and clinical settings.

Summary: This study investigated the self-care behavior, depression, and self-efficacy among elderly Chinese type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. The results showed that only 22.5% of patients reported good self-care behavior, and depression partly mediated the association between self-efficacy and self-care behavior. Self-efficacy was negatively associated with depression and depression was negatively associated with self-care behavior. Therefore, interventions focusing on self-efficacy may improve diabetes self-care behavior among elderly T2DM patients.
