“…Patients and caregivers from both groups perceived physical, behavioural, psychological, and interpersonal changes, associated with interventions, highlighting the benefits of stress reduction sessions in patients with DFUs [ 22 , 24 , 25 , 41 ]. Considering that studies have shown that stress management improves diabetes [ 42 ], participants’ perceptions of physical improvements, such as less pain and better glycemic control, make intuitive sense.…”

Background The present study aimed to assess the perceptions of patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and their family caregivers regarding the impact of two stress reduction interventions on DFU and psychological wellbeing. The intervention included progressive muscle relaxation and hypnosis sessions. Methods This study used a qualitative exploratory design and included individual interviews with eight patients with chronic DFUs and six family caregivers, using a semi-structured interview guide. Transcript analysis employed thematic content analysis. Results Four key themes common to patients and their caregivers were found: 1) perspectives regarding the intervention; 2) intervention effectiveness; 3) perceived importance of psychology in the DFU treatment; and 4) emotional consequences associated with DFUs. Although themes were common to both intervention groups, sub-themes from the last two themes differed for patients that received muscle relaxation versus those who received hypnosis. Conclusion Patients and caregivers reported perceived benefits from both interventions, regarding DFU healing and emotional wellbeing. Patients who received hypnosis and their caregivers also reported lasting effects. Participants suggested that psychological interventions such as stress reduction interventions could be included in the DFU standard treatment as an adjuvant to the clinical protocol for DFU treatment, preferably offered early on, when patients begin treatment at the diabetic foot consultation.

“…2) were reported highlighting the bene ts of these two types of psychological intervention in this population. [22,25,41,24] In terms of psychological changes, patients reported a feeling of calm, lightness or relaxation, more positive thinking, better sleep quality, and acceptance of the disease.

Background The present study aimed to assess the perceptions of patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and their informal caregivers regarding the impact of two stress reduction interventions, such as a progressive muscle relaxation and hypnosis, on patients’ DFU and psychological wellbeing. Methods This multicenter study used a qualitative exploratory design and included individual interviews with eight patients with chronic DFUs and six family caregivers, using a semi-structured interview guide. Transcripts analysis employed thematic content analysis. Results Four key themes common to patients and their caregivers were found: 1) perspectives regarding the intervention; 2) intervention effectiveness; 3) the role of psychology on the DFU treatment; and 4) emotions and consequences associated with the DFU. Although themes were common to both treatment groups, sub-themes from the last two themes differed for patients that received muscle relaxation versus those who received hypnosis. One additional theme emerged from the caregiver’s interviews: 5) promotion of self care behaviors. Conclusion According to patients and caregivers, overall the two stress reduction interventions were beneficial for the DFU healing progression and emotional wellbeing. The hypnosis group also reported lasting effects. Participants suggested that psychological interventions such as stress reduction interventions could be included in the DFU standard treatment as an adjuvant to the clinical protocol for DFU treatment, preferably offered early on, when the patient begins treatment at the diabetic foot consultation.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the common endocrinology diseases that greatly affects the health care sector and economy. Application of hypoglycemic drugs has its own drawbacks and the use of non-drug therapy on treating T2DM has drawn much attention recently. This paper reviewed the research development of the non-pharmacological interventions on T2DM in recent years, including dietary therapy, exercise therapy, psychotherapy, acupuncture and moxibustion therapies and so on. The authors mentioned the problems in the research of non-drug treatment for blood glucose control of T2DM and put forward new ideas for the research in the future. Further well-designed trials with large sample size and long-term follow-up are needed to confirm current conclusions.
