“…Asimismo, estos pacientes tienen tres veces más posibilidades de sufrir depresión, en comparación con personas sin la enfermedad debido, en gran medida, a las afectaciones en la esfera psicosocial, el escaso apoyo social o las complicaciones asociadas (Khaledi et al, 2019). Lo anterior pone de manifiesto el impacto social de esta patología, que está muy relacionada con el estilo de vida del individuo, las creencias y prácticas de cuidado, los cambios en el entorno social, la adhesión al tratamiento y la aceptación de la enfermedad (Álvarez-Najar, 2020;Antúnez & Bettiol, 2016;Bica et al, 2017;Birhanu et al, 2016;Moulton et al, 2015). Cabe señalar que la ausencia de tratamiento para la depresión impacta negativamente las actividades de autocuidado, potenciando las complicaciones de la diabetes tipo 2.…”

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar la relación entre la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS) y la depresión en pacientes con Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2. Se seleccionó una muestra de 31 pacientes de la ciudad de Montería, Colombia. Para medir la calidad de vida, se utilizó el instrumento MOS SF-36 Health Survey. Por su parte, para la medición de la depresión, se utilizó el Inventario de Depresión de Beck (BDI). Dentro de los principales hallazgos, se encontraron niveles por debajo de la media en las dimensiones físicas del MOS SF-36 (función física, rol físico, dolor corporal, salud general, vitalidad) y niveles por encima de la media en las dimensiones mentales (función social, rol emocional, salud mental). Con relación al BDI, se presentaron niveles de depresión leves. Además, se presentaron correlaciones negativas medias y altas entre las dimensiones de calidad de vida y la depresión. Los resultados de esta investigación evidencian la importancia del estudio de la influencia de las emociones negativas sobre las diferentes dimensiones de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en las personas con diabetes tipo 2.

Introduction Diabetic Foot Complications (DFCs) are a growing cause of morbidity and mortality with less than one third of physicians able to discern the signs of diabetes related peripheral neuropathy. DFCs and resultant amputations account for a considerable proportion of surgeries in Fiji, with very limited literature available to verify the factors that influence these alarming figures. This study aimed to explore Health Care Workers’ (HCWs) perspectives on diabetic foot complications and challenges of foot care management in Fiji. Method An exploratory descriptive qualitative design was used among HCWs at the Sigatoka Sub Divisional Hospital (SDH), Fiji in 2021. HCWs at the SDH were required to have a minimum work experience of at least six months in public health. All participants who met the inclusion criteria were selected through purposive sampling. Data was collected using a focus group discussion guide composed of semi-structured open-ended questions to guide the Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). Focus discussions were audio recorded and transcribed with thematic analysis applied to derive the themes and sub-themes outlined in the study. Results Twenty HCWs participated in four FGDs with four major themes identified. The first theme was HCWs’ perceptions and practice of foot care which revealed that all participants had adequate diabetic foot care knowledge. The second theme was factors affecting foot care which was mainly focused on identified barriers such as inadequate patient foot care knowledge, the lack of resources such as manpower, and health system challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic. The third theme is creating awareness among patients and HCWs to improve foot care practices. The fourth theme is strengthening foot care practices at the different levels of health care that is aimed at optimizing diabetic foot outcomes. Conclusion Various foot care barriers namely patient factors and the lack of resources is a concern depicted in this study. There is a need to address health system barriers and enforce diabetic foot education, screening and care for patients and the community.

Background: A significant percentage of the Nigerian population suffers from Type 2 Diabetes, and a notable portion of these patients also live with other co-morbidities such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Despite its increasing prevalence in Nigeria due to factors such as poor eating and exercise habits, there is insufficient reliable data on its incidence in major cities like Port Harcourt, as well as the influence of socio-demographic factors on current self-and collaborative T2D care approaches using technology. This, and the recurring top-down approach, i.e., from the global north to the global south of creating solutions, has resulted in a significant lack of context-specific digital health interventions for T2D care. Objective:The study aims to identify opportunities for designing context-specific digital health interventions for Type 2 Diabetes management, by understanding the influence of socio-demographic factors on self and collaborative care involving patients, caregivers, and community pharmacists, as well as current digital health approaches for Type 2 Diabetes care. Methods:We designed questionnaires aligned with the study's objectives to obtain quantitative data, using the WhatsApp environment and in-person interactions. Following a social media campaign aimed at expanding our reach to a hard-to-reach audience, we delivered the questionnaires through WhatsApp. We also used this opportunity to explore the feasibility of WhatsApp as a data collection tool in our research context, mirroring studies that were conducted in a different context. In total, we obtained 110 responses, with 83 responses from in-person distributions and 27 responses from the WhatsApp approach. Finally, data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical approaches on SPSS and JASP software.Results: Results were categorized into three, comprising socio-demographic characteristics of diabetes patients in our research context, collaborative care involving different stakeholders, and current digital health approaches for the management of Type 2 Diabetes. We discovered that men with Type 2 Diabetes were significantly older (mean = 61 years), had a higher average household income, and generally held higher academic degrees compared to women (P = .03). We also discovered that there was no statistically significant relationship between gender and the frequency of hospital (P = .597) or pharmacy visits (P = .480), and cultural differences did not influence the incidence of the disease. Regarding current management approaches, 75.45% and 60% of the population relied on prescribed medications and dietary modifications respectively, while 35.45% and 20% explored traditional medicines and spirituality respectively. Most participants were unfamiliar with technologies for diabetes care (74.54%), and 89.21% of participants who indicated their use of technology were only familiar with glucometers. Finally, participants were more inclined to seek for health information in person (87.27%) than through digital means Con...
