“…Guell (2011), for her part, identified that familial influence is significant for diabetes self-management. Several studies also suggest that the family can be a social support in encouraging self-care endeavors (Kang et al, 2010) or be a barrier by being nonsupportive (Paddison, 2010). This result may be attributed to the idea that social, emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental aspects of health are interrelated.…”

While morale among the elderly has been widely and extensively studied, results are varied and at times conflicting. Hence, the purpose of this study is to explore the factors affecting elderly morale of a select group of Filipinos in a community setting. A 64-item questionnaire was utilized to survey 323 Filipinos aged 60 and above residing in the National Capital Region of the Philippines in May 2013. Respondents completed a robotfoto, a checklist of chronic illnesses, and measures of the social support, functional ability, geriatric depression, and morale. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized model. Two competing models emerged in the study. Model 1 followed causal relationships indicated in the hypothesized model while model 2 considered modification indices that surfaced more acceptable fit indices (X 2 =df ¼ 1.414, GFI [goodness of fit index] ¼ 0.988, CFI [comparative fit index] ¼ 0.987, RMSEA [root mean square error of approximation] ¼ 0.036). Chronic illness, social support, and depression were found to be major predictors of morale. Number of chronic illnesses and depression were also found to have a negative relationship with functional ability, and chronic illness and social support were negatively correlated. Findings can assist health professionals such as nurses to identify the factors that shape elderly morale vis-a-vis the use of effective strategies that promote the well-being of elderly people. The emerging model can serve as reference to assess the effectiveness of quality of care rendered as manifested by morale.Several studies have indicated that, by and large, morale is often used synonymously with life satisfaction, subjective or psychological well-being, and quality of life (

BackgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic condition affecting over 18 million people worldwide. It can lead to debilitating complications and premature death if not effectively controlled. South Africa, like any sub-Saharan countries and the world at large, is no exception. The prevalence of diabetes among South African adults has increased by 50% from 2009 to date, and an increase of some 11 million new diabetes diagnoses is expected by the year 2020.PurposeThe purpose of this study was to describe the beliefs and management practices of patients with DM in Vhembe district, Limpopo province.SettingThe study was conducted at Vhembe district clinics.MethodsA probability, purposive sampling was used to sample 100 diabetic patients. Data were collected using a pre-tested questionnaire. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 19.0. Descriptive statistics, frequencies, and percentages were used to summarise the data from the study.ResultsThe majority of the respondents had poor management practice of feet care and annual eye examinations. Twenty four (24.0%) of the respondents believed that DM can be cured and 22 (22.0%) did not believe that diet helps in the management of DM.ConclusionThe belief that DM is curable can have a negative effect as patients can quit taking treatment once the disease is under control. This happens irrespective of the national guidelines for the management of DM. Therefore, some strategies should be sought that could enhance the implementation of the guidelines in order to combat the disease.

“…The family and significant others play an important role in the management of diabetes. The person’s family can provide support and practical help for self-management (Albright, Parchman, & Burke, 2001; Chlebowy, Hood, & LaJoie, 2010; Paddison, 2010; Weiler & Crist, 2009). Previous studies have found that support from the partner significantly correlates with treatment adherence and metabolic control (Tang, Brown, Funnell, & Anderson, 2008; Toljamo & Hentinen, 2001; van Dam et al, 2005).…”

Diabetes mellitus is a common chronic disease all over the world. Self-management plays a crucial role in diabetes management. The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize what is known about the interactions between adult persons with diabetes, their family, and diabetes self-management. MEDLINE, CINAHL, PSYCHINFO, LINDA, and MEDIC databases were searched for the years 2000 to 2011 and for English language articles, and the reference lists of the studies included were reviewed to capture additional studies. The findings indicate that family members have influence on the self-management of adult persons with diabetes. The support from family members plays a crucial role in maintaining lifestyle changes and optimizing diabetes management. Diabetes and its treatment also affect the life of family members in several ways, causing, for example, different types of psychological distress. More attention should be paid to family factors in diabetes management among adult persons.
