“…Integrating diabetes into one's life and self-identity is a complex and challenging process, which poses considerable demands on people's coping, self-esteem and mood (18,19). This paper suggests that, in spite of all the above demands, T1DM may not play a markedly detrimental role in the life of adult patients, at least in the case of males, whereas females appear to be marginally more vulnerable to the pressures of the disease on their QoL, with specific reference to diabetes impact, diabetes-related worries and social worries.…”

ResumenEl tiempo, como magnitud física en su concepción más clásica, es para el ser humano una construcción y una representación mental subjetiva que moldea la percepción del mismo en relación a su velocidad. De ahí que es susceptible de variación de acuerdo a una multiplicidad de conceptos, incluyendo creencias, el propio estado de ánimo y la percepción de salud física y mental. Igualmente, el pasado, el futuro y el presente son representaciones subjetivas que dependen de factores como la percepción de tiempo, la cultura y el tiempo biológico de cada persona. Basado en lo anterior, el objetivo del presente artículo fue refl exionar sobre el concepto de tiempo y su importancia para el cuidador del paciente con cáncer, durante las fases de la enfermedad. Para lograr dicho objetivo se planteó la realización de una investigación de tipo cualitativo a través de la narrativa, el relato biográfi co y la lectura intertextual, apoyándose del libro "Los Sueños de Einstein". Se encontró que no existe una única forma de defi nir el tiempo como una medida rígida, lineal y secuencial, sino que cada persona defi ne y vive su propio concepto de tiempo a través de su propia experiencia e historia temporal, pudiendo ser un determinante, los procesos de salud-enfermedad. Se concluye, entonces, que la percepción del tiempo se construye por medio de la interacción del tiempo externo, los sucesos a lo largo de la vida y el tiempo interno que permite al ser humano adaptarse y afrontar los desafíos cotidianos Palabras Clave: Tiempo, Cuidadores, Enfermedad, Percepción. AbstractThe time as a physical magnitude in its most classical conception, is for the human being, a construction and a subjective mental representation that molds its perception related to its velocity. From there it is susceptible to variation according to the multiplicity of concepts, including beliefs, the state of mind and the perception of physical and mental health. Similarly, the past, the future and the present are subjective representations that depend on factors such as time perception, culture and biological time of each person. Based on this, the objective of this article was to refl ect on the concept of time and its importance for the caregiver of a patient diagnosed with cancer, during the phases of the disease. To accomplish this objective a qualitative research was performed though the narrative, the bibliographical story, and the intertextual reading, relying on the book "The Dreams of Einstein". It was found that a unique form to measure time as a rigid, lineal, and sequential measure does not exist, but that each person defines and lives its own concept of time throughout their own experiences and temporal history, with the processes of health-disease being a possible determinant. It is concluded, then, that the perception of time is constructed through the interaction of external time, the events throughout life and the internal time that allows the human being to adapt and face the daily challenges.Keywords: Time, Caregivers, Disease, Perception Re...

“…Selfmanagement is a process in which the client learns to incorporate skills and knowledge required to provide self-care (Whittemore & Dixon, 2008). This process empowers (Whittemore & Dixon, 2008) the client as the client is educated about symptom management and risk-factor reduction (Coster & Norman, 2009).

The population of older adults with chronic disease is increasing, yet little is known about their perception of chronic disease and self-management. To develop successful and sustainable chronic disease self-management interventions in the older adult population, health care providers must first understand older adults' attitudes toward health status and behavior change. This pilot study was conducted to determine the feasibility of the study design. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the appropriateness of using a mixed-methods research design to investigate Appalachian older adult's attitude toward the chronic disease experience and health behavior change. A convergent, parallel mixed-method design included a quantitative questionnaire and qualitative focus groups in churches in northeast Tennessee. The aim of the study was met, and the methodology of the study was found to be feasible for larger studies. Divergence of data was found when evaluating qualitative and quantitative data. The study instrument was found to be reliable for future use. The implications of the results suggest that the study design is appropriate for the purpose of the study.
