“…Diabetes is thus been referred to as a “family disease” [ 8 , 9 ]. Family plays a significant role in the management of diabetes [ 10 ], by providing practical support in the day-to-day management of diabetes and demanding lifelong engagement in self-management behaviors [ 11 , 12 ]. The support and care given by the family for persons with diabetes at home and during visits to and admission at health facilities takes much time and creates a significant burden on the family [ 13 , 14 ].…”

Background. Families of a person with diabetes play a vital part in diabetes management since their support helps with regimen engagement in self-management behaviors. However, focal information on the family burden of diabetes is lacking. This study is aimed at, therefore, assessing the persons with diabetes’ perceptions of family burden and associated factors at a university hospital. Methods and Materials. A facility-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from July 26 to September 26, 2021on 403 persons’ with diabetes attending Jimma Medical Center diabetic clinic, the study sample was selected using a simple random sampling method. The data was collected using the Zarit burden questionnaire through face-to-face interviews. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentages) were ordered logistic regression, and statistical significance was declared at P value ≤0.05. Results and Discussion. About 36.8% of the patient was in mild to moderate family burden of diabetes. Farmer (AOR 5.419; CI: 1.18, 24.872), living with partners and family (AOR: 0.110, CI: 0.018, 0.659), comorbidity (AOR 5.419; CI: 1.18, 24.872), oral hypoglycemic agent (AOR: 0.380, CI: 0.191, 0.758), and being never hospitalized before because of diabetes (AOR: 0.044, CI: 0.003, 0.571) was statistically associated with a family burden. Conclusion. About one-fourth of diabetic patient-perceived mild to the moderate family burden of diabetes, persons with diabetes who work as farmers and have comorbidities have a higher opinion of family burden, whereas those who live with partners or family members, use oral hypoglycemic medications, and have never been hospitalized for diabetes have a lower view of family burden due to diabetes. The results of this study suggest that strategies for health promotion, intervention, and prevention of diabetes at the family level should consider the interaction between family member burden and the patient’s sociodemographic and disease-related factors. A further large-scale study is required to validate these findings.

To identify the evidence from the literature regarding empowerment strategies for type 2 diabetes (T2D) self-care through a systematic literature review. PRISMA method, the review was in PubMed, Scopus, Scielo, CINAHL, LILACS, Web of Science, Springer, Redalyc and Sciencedirect were applied, using randomized controlled trials published since 2015 in Spanish, English and Portuguese, with at least one empowerment strategy, analyzed by four independent researchers. 2370 studies were found, 16 met the criteria. They used educational and psychosocial strategies, motivational interviewing and participatory action, discussions, images, questions, illustrations, worksheets, books, experiences, counseling, phone calls, debates, home visits, physical exercise, medication, action plans, decision making, glycemic control, uncertainty management, and nutrition. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was extracted to assess the effectiveness of the strategies. 87.5% were delivered by nurses, 50% in a clinical setting, 68.7% were carried out with groups; the empowerment process model was the most used as a theoretical foundation. Empowerment strategies for T2D self-care were effective, mainly those implemented by nurses showed improvements in HbA1c. It is recommended to support the implementation of intervention programs that empower people with T2D to perform self-care.

Introduction: Support from the external environment for enabling behavioral change, is often instrumental in mediating glycemic control in patients coping with diabetes. While evidence is scant in the Indian setting, there is a lack of consistency in findings among studies done elsewhere. Objective: To assess the perceived availability of social support and its association with glycemic control among type 2 diabetics. Method: Between October and December 2019, Cross sectional study was conducted among 150 adult patients, selected using convenient sampling method at the Diabetology clinic in a tertiary care centre in Chennai. Outpatients with a confirmed diagnosis of type 2 diabetes for at least one year, were recruited by convenient sampling. Perceived social support was assessed using the RAND-MOS social support survey instrument, while average of last three fasting blood glucose (FBG) readings determined glycemic status. Non-parametric Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to analyze association of social support with glycemic control and socio-demographic determinants. Spearman’s correlation coefficients with 95% CIs are reported for association of individual domain scores with average FBG. All analyses were performed with SPSS Version 23. Results: Study participants were aged 35 to 85 years, and living with type 2 diabetes for a mean duration of 10 ± 7.7 years. The average FBG in the past year ranged from 79 to 398 mg/dl in these patients, with 41 (27%) and 109 (73%) being classified as having good and poor glycemic control, respectively. The median (IQR) social support summary score was 62 (40-81) on a scale of 0 – 100; perceived social support was reportedly low, intermediate, and high in 36 (24%), 74 (49%) and 40 (27%) participants, respectively. The level of social support was not found to be significantly associated with glycemic control (P=0.628); average FBG and summary social support score showed no correlation [ρ=.081 (95% CI: -.097, .253), P =.322]. Conclusion: While a three- fourths majority reported availability of social support for coping with diabetes, this was not found to be significantly associated with glycemic status. The potential role of support networks, beyond the immediate family, in improving health outcomes needs to be examined.
