A Psychological Study of Anxiety among Diabetic challengers

II. A state of apprehensiohn, uncertainty, and fear resulting from anticipation of a realistic or fantasized threatening event or situation, often impairing physical and psychological functioning. David Barlow [1] defines anxiety as “a futureoriented mood state in which one is ready or prepared to attempt to cope with upcoming negative events,” and that it is a distinction between future and present dangers which divides anxiety and fear. In other words, anxiety occurs when we behave (think and act) in an apprehensive manner, such as when worrying about an event or situation.


Introduction
Anxiety is defined as I.
A state of uneasiness, apprehension; as about future uncertainties. II. A state of apprehensiohn, uncertainty, and fear resulting from anticipation of a realistic or fantasized threatening event or situation, often impairing physical and psychological functioning. David Barlow [1] defines anxiety as "a futureoriented mood state in which one is ready or prepared to attempt to cope with upcoming negative events," and that it is a distinction between future and present dangers which divides anxiety and fear. In other words, anxiety occurs when we behave (think and act) in an apprehensive manner, such as when worrying about an event or situation.
The philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, in The Concept of Anxiety (1844), described anxiety or dreads associated with the "dizziness of freedom" and suggested the possibility for positive resolution of anxiety through the self-conscious exercise of responsibility and choosing. The psychologist Otto Rank. In Art and Artist (1932) wrote that the psychological trauma of birth was the pre-eminent human symbol of existential anxiety and encompasses the creative person's simultaneous fear of and desire for separation, individuation and differentiation.
The theologian Paul Tillich characterized existential anxiety as "the state in which a being is aware of its possible nonbeing" and he listed three categories for the nonbeing and resulting anxiety: on tic (fate and death), moral (guilt and condemnation), and spiritual (emptiness and meaninglessness). According to Tillich, the last of these three types of existential anxiety, i.e. spiritual anxiety, is predominant in modern times while the others were predominant in earlier periods. Tillich argues that this anxiety can be accepted as part of the human condition or it can be resisted but with negative consequences. In its pathological form, spiritual anxiety may tend to "drive the person toward the creation of certitude in systems of meaning which are supported by tradition and authority" even though such "undoubted certitude is not built on the rock of reality".
According to Viktor Frankl, the author of Man's Search for Meaning, when a person is faced with extreme mortal dangers, the most basic of all human wishes is to find a meaning of life to combat the "trauma of nonbeing" as death is near. Anxiety is a physiological and psychological state characterized by cognitive, somatic, emotional and behavioral components. These components combine to create an unpleasant feeling that is typically associated with uneasiness, apprehension, or worry.
Anxiety is a generalized mood state that occurs without an identifiable triggering stimulus. As such, it is distinguished from fear, which occurs in the presence of an external threat. Additionally, fear is related to the specific behaviors of escape and avoidance, where as anxiety is the results of threats that are perceived to be uncontrollable or unavoidable. Anxiety is a term used to describe uncomfortable feeling of nervousness, worry and tension which we all feel from time to time. Anxiety can affect anyone, whatever their age, gender etc., It affects our thoughts, physical reactions, moods and behavior. Anxiety can also cause us to feel panicky and frightened and prevent us from doing things. Too much stress in our lives can result in higher levels of anxiety. We know from research that at any one time, there are many people experiencing anxiety that is a problem to them. Anxiety can either be very general; affecting many areas of our lives or it may be more specific to certain situations such as crowded places, travelling on buses. It could even occur as a specific phobia such as a fear of lifts or a fear of spiders.

I.
Physical effects: When we are anxiety we will fear many physical symptoms of anxiety, such as a pounding heart, a churning stomach, or breathing difficulties. Long term stress also affects us physically.
II. Thoughts: When we are anxiety we tend to worry and have negative thoughts. Like 'when if I make a fool of myself or what if I suffocate/faint/have a heart attack.' As well as thoughts we may experience images or pictures in our mind such as images of a car crash or someone criticizing us.
III. Mood: Anxiety itself is a type of mood. Anxiety and prolonged stress can also affect our moods in other ways. For example, it we experience anxiety that restricts our lives over a long period of time, we may feel guilty, down and depression.
IV. Behavior: Anxiety also affects our behavior changing the things we feel able to do. This can result in avoidance of many things, such as going into a supermarket or going to the dentist. When we can't avoid things we may do things to make us feel safe, such as always having someone with us, or carrying tablets that we don't really need.

Common Symptoms

The present research was to study the anxiety level among diabetic and non-diabetic people (both male and female). The study was conducted over a sample of 160 people (80-male: 40 diabetic and 40 on diabetic as well as 80-female: 40 diabetic and 40 non diabetic). For the purpose of the measuring anxiety level of participants the Beck anxiety inventory was used. The obtained data were analyzed and interpreted on using statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, and t -test. The results reported that statistically significant difference observed among diabetic and non-diabetic male participants in relation to anxiety their level. As regarding to female participants with diabetic and non-diabetic also significantly differ on their scores on anxiety. In conclusion the anxiety level was significantly higher in diabetic people both: male as well as female.

Sample
Total sample comprised of 160 diabetic challengers, 80 of rural areas and 80 of urban areas diabetic challengers were included in the sample. Further, sample was bifurcated according to gender (40 male and 40 female). The diabetic challengers were selected from Rajkot district areas (Table 2). IV. Validity: The coefficient of validity was 0.62, which is significant beyond 0.01 Level of confidence.

Statistical Analysis
After collecting the response from the diabetic challengers, at first all data sheets were checked thoroughly to find out any gaps or discrepancies in the response sheets. For data analysis, descriptive statistics t test was used and for the Hypothesis inferential statistical t test was used diabetic challengers.

There will be no significant difference on Anxiety of urban and rural areas diabetic challengers. The result of t test, given in (Table 3), show that the t value obtained is no significant (t=2.7506), revealing the fact that the group compared do significantly with regard to their area score. Hence the null hypothesis Ho1: "There will be no significant difference on the anxiety among urban and rural area's diabetic patients" is accepted (Figure 1).  II. There will be no significant difference on Anxiety of urban areas male and rural areas female diabetic challengers. df = 78 The result of t test, given in (Table 4), show that the t value obtained is no significant (t=1.5114), revealing the fact that the group compared do significantly with regard to their area's gender score. Hence the null hypothesis Ho2: "There will be no significant difference on the anxiety among urban area's male and rural area's female diabetic challengers" is accepted ( Figure 2).  III. There will be no significant difference on Anxiety of urban areas female and rural areas male diabetic challengers. df = 78 The result of t test, given in (Table 5), show that the t value obtained is no significant (t=0.5995), revealing the fact that the group compared do significantly with regard to their area's gender score. Hence the null hypothesis Ho3: "There will be no significant difference on the anxiety among urban area's female and rural area' smale diabetic challengers" is accepted (Figure 3).  IV. There will be no significant difference on Anxiety of urban areas and rural areas male diabetic challengers. df = 158 The result of t test, given in (Table 6), show that the t value obtained is no significant (t=1.4893), revealing the fact that the group compared do significantly with regard to their area's gender score.
