Full textO presente trabalho pretende ser uma reflexão acerca do sentido de que se pode revestir uma doença, como a diabetes e ainda sobre se existe persistência de alexitímia, nesse estado. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório que partiu do conceito utilizado por Sífneos (1973) a alexitímia - termo que vem do grego a (sem) lexis (palavra), thymus (ânimo na afectividade) que designou como sendo a dificuldade que determinados indivíduos têm para expressar ou descrever os seus estados emocionais. A amostra foi composta por dois grupos: sujeitos diabéticos e não diabéticos de ambos os sexos. Utilizou-se um questionário para a obtenção de dados pessoais e a Escala de Alexitímia de Toronto de 20 itens (TAS-20), instrumento de avaliação das características alexitímicas com boa validade e fidelidade interna. Os resultados obtidos permitiram identificar a presença do fenómeno alexitímico na amostra dos sujeitos diabéticos. Em termos de conclusão percebemos que o ser diabético pode e deve ser considerado como uma partida para a cura de algo mais do que para o físico, tendo assim, presente, uma visão integradora do ser. Fica o desejo do prosseguir a realização de estudos complementares que possam ser úteis.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Individuals diagnosed with diabetes mellitus are at an increased risk for developing depression. According to the literature, depression in diabetes mellitus has been associated with a poorer quality of life, poorer regimen adherence, poorer adjustment to diabetes, poorer glycaemic control, and an increased risk of developing diabetes related complications. While the role of certain psychosocial determinants in the onset and maintenance of depression has been investigated, mental health professionals and researchers have neglected the task of conceptualizing the relationship between depression and diabetes from a psychological perspective. This assignment presents a psychological conceptualization of the relationship between diabetes and depression, using Beck's (1967, 1979) cognitive model of depression as a framework. This conceptualization may serve as a means of theoretically understanding the relationship between these two conditions and as a framework in directing future research on this relationship.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Individue wat met diabetes mellitus gediagnoseer word, toon 'n verhoogde risiko om depressie te ontwikkel. Volgens die literatuur word depressie in diabetes mellitus geassosieer met 'n swakker lewensgehelte, swakker nakoming van behandeling, swakker aanpassing by diabetes, swakker glisemie-kontrole, en 'n verhoogde risiko om diabetes verwante komplikasies te ontwikkel. Hoewel die rol van bepaalde psigososiale verandelikes in die ontstaan en instandhouding van depressie reeds ondersoek is, is min nog gedoen oor 'n konseptualisering van die assosiasie tussen diabetes en depressie. Hierdie werkstuk handeloor 'n konseptualisering van die verband tussen diabetes en depressie, gebaseer op Beck (1967, 1979) se kognitiewe model van depressie. Die konseptualisering dien as 'n naamwerk om hierdie verband te verstaan en toekomstige narvorsing hieroor te rig.

Full textBackground: Type 2 diabetes is a complex chronic condition. To achieve positive outcomes patients must have an understanding of diabetes and self-efficacy to carry out self-management. Studies have shown that diabetes self-management education interventions positively affect physical and mental health outcomes, thereby improving the patient?s diabetes self-management. Purpose: The purpose of this article was to determine if four diabetes self-management programs (DSMP) on the Island of Hawaii are providing competent care based on national standards of curriculum components, addressing mental health concerns affecting diabetes self-management, and providing culturally adapted care. Methods: This study was carried out in three stages: 1) selecting programs for analysis; 2) comparing evaluated programs based on American Association of Diabetes Educators Self-care behaviors through the review of program manuals and supplemental materials; and 3) interviewing program directors. Results: A review of community-based, self-management programs on Hawaii Island reveals that they provide competent care based on national Diabetes Self-Management Education standards. The reviewed programs appear to be successful and include culturally adapted education. However, assessments for mental health are not currently being used to assess a patient?s need for treatment of common mental health problems such as depression. Conclusion: The current evidence of a connection between diabetes and depression indicates that DSMPs should assess for depression and provide effective treatment, especially for ethnic groups that have a high prevalence of diabetes and diabetes-related hospitalizations. More research is needed to determine how programs could better address culture and mental health concerns related to diabetes self-management education.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: A chronic illness such as type 1 diabetes does not only have an impact on the individual’s physical and psychological well-being, but ultimately on the well-being of the family as a whole. The family typically fulfils the role of primary support structure for the diabetic child. Regardless of the physical and psychological challenges that form part of the illness, a large number of families are resilient. Families are able to adjust, adapt and cope adequately with a variety of life stressors. Consequently, this study aimed to identify and explore family resilience characteristics that are associated with family adaptation after the diagnosis of a chronic illness in a child. The Resiliency Model of Family Stress, Adjustment and Adaptation (McCubbin & McCubbin, 2001) served as theoretical framework for this study. Fifty-one primary caregivers represented families with a child with type 1 diabetes who was a patient at a big state hospital in the Western Cape, South Africa. The study used a mixed methods approach and it was expected from the participants to answer an open-ended question and complete four self-complete questionnaires. The dependent variable in the study is family adaptation, measured with the Family Attachment and Changeability Index 8 (FACI8) (McCubbin & McCubbin, 2001). Based on the theory and previous studies, the following independent variables were used as measures: family hardiness (The Family Hardiness Index (FHI)), family patterns of communication (Family Problem Solving and Communication Scale (FPSC)) and family time spent together, as well as routines followed together (Family Time and Routine Index (FTRI)). The results show that family resilience characteristics that are significantly correlated with family adaptation are affirming communication in the family; the family’s willingness to accept change as positive; and family time spent together and routines followed in the family. The most important resilience characteristic according to the qualitative data is the support and information received from the paediatric diabetes specialist at the hospital. The family’s religious beliefs, and support received from their church, also play a significant role in their adaptation. This study contributes to the increasing need for and value of positive psychology. The study also creates an opportunity to educate families and medical personnel on the importance of implementing resilience characteristics in families to ensure better adaptation. Recommendations for future studies on resilience in families with a child with type 1 diabetes are made.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: ’n Chroniese siekte soos tipe 1 diabetes het nie ’n enkelvoudige impak op die individu se fisiese en sielkundige welstand nie, maar uiteindelik ook op die gesin se welstand. Die gesin vervul tipies die rol van primêre ondersteuningsnetwerk vir die kind met diabetes. Ongeag die fisiese en sielkundige struikelblokke wat deel is van die siekte, bly ’n groot aantal gesinne steeds veerkragtig. Gesinne beskik oor die vermoë om verstellings te maak en aan te pas by ’n verskeidenheid van lewensstressors. Gevolglik het hierdie studie gepoog om gesinsveerkragtigheidskenmerke te identifiseer en te verken, nadat ’n kind met ’n chroniese siekte gediagnoseer is. Die Resiliency Model of Family Stress, Adjustment and Adaptation (McCubbin & McCubbin, 2001) het gedien as die teoretiese raamwerk vir hierdie studie. Eenen- vyftig primêre versorgers het hul gesinne in die studie verteenwoordig. In elk van die gesinne was daar ’n kind met tipe 1 diabetes wat ’n pasiënt was by ’n groot staatshospitaal in die Wes-Kaap, Suid-Afrika. Die studie het gebruik gemaak van ’n gemengde-metode benadering en het van die deelnemers verwag om ’n oopeinde-vraag te beantwoord, sowel as vier kwantitatiewe vraelyste te voltooi. Die afhanklike veranderlike in die studie was gesinsaanpassing, gemeet met die Family Attachment and Changeability Index 8 (FACI8) (McCubbin & McCubbin, 2001). Gebasseer op die teorie en die bevindinge van vorige studies is die volgende meetinstrumente gebruik om die onafhanklike veranderlikes mee te meet: die Family Hardiness Index, Family Problem Solving and Communication Scale, en die Family Time and Routine Index. Die kwantitatiewe resultate toon die volgende gesinsveerkragtigheidskenmerke: positiewe kommunikasie wat in die gesin beoefen word; die gesin se bereidwilligheid om verandering te aanvaar en dit as positief te beskou; en gesinstyd saam en gesinsroetines wat beoefen word. Die belangrikste gesinsveerkragtigheidskenmerke volgens die kwalitatiewe data is die ondersteuning en inligting verkry vanaf die pediatriese diabetes-spesialis, die gesin se geloof en die ondersteuning wat hulle van hulle kerk verkry het. Hierdie studie dra by tot die toenemende behoefte aan en waarde van positiewe sielkunde. Die studie skep ook die geleentheid om gesinne en hospitaalpersoneel in te lig oor die noodsaaklikheid van die implementering en ontwikkeling van gesinsveerkragtigheidskenmerke vir die beter aanpassing van gesinne. Ten slotte word aanbevelings vir toekomstige veerkragtigheidstudies in gesinne met ’n kind met tipe 1 diabetes gemaak.
