Qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde de adolescentes com dm1- revisão integrativa

“…The QoL of diabetic adolescents is associated with several factors, so it is the focus of several studies [12][13][14][15][16]18,22,23 .

Family Support as Predictor of Adhernce to Diet Regimen among People with Type II Diabetes in Lagos State

In regards to family cohesion, in which families are described as warm, accepting, and close, the odds of adherence were three times higher when compared with noncohesive families (DiMatteo, 2004).…”

Le « prendre soin » de la santé (PSS) : une conception transdisciplinaire et inclusive de la pratique soignante et son intérêt pour améliorer les résultats de santé des jeunes aux prises avec le diabète

Les approches couramment utilisées comprennent l'« observance au traitement » 10 , l'« autogestion de la maladie chronique » 11 (Aschemeier et al, 2008 ;Berry et al, 2006 ;Jedeloo et al, 2010 ;Pereira et al, 2008), ainsi que l'« autosoin », aussi traduit en français par « autogestion de la santé ». Dans le domaine du DT1 notamment, le discours sur l'autosoin (self-care) semble davantage orienté vers la maladie et la prévention des complications, que vers la promotion de la santé (Pelicand et al, 2013).…”
