“…No obstante, es preciso reconocer que la ansiedad influye de forma negativa en los pensamientos y las creencias personales de los pacientes con DMT2. Aquello perjudica la salud e intensifica cambios físicos como el aumento de peso corporal (Fayazbakhsh & Mansouri, 2019), la pérdida de calidad de sueño (Badenes & Ausin, 2021) y el aumento en la segregación de hormonas que elevan los niveles de glucosa en la sangre (i.e., hiperglucemia) (Piñate et al, 2020).…”

“…Otras investigaciones, realizadas en pacientes con DMT2, han demostrado la efectividad del entrenamiento del mindfulness sobre la ansiedad pues: (1) mejora la forma de lidiar y afrontar los comportamientos problemáticos asociados a la DMT2 como la rumiación, preocupación, incertidumbre, pensamientos catastróficos (Fayazbakhsh & Mansouri, 2019) y la angustia (Guo et al, 2019); (2) reduce los niveles de Hemoglobina (HbA1c) (González-Burboa et al, 2019), (3) disminuye las medidas de control glucémico (FBS, la HbA1c), y (4) mejora el bienestar emocional de los pacientes (Armani Kian et al, 2018).…”

La investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar la relación entre la ansiedad y el mindfulness en personas con Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2 (DMT2). La muestra estuvo conformada por 208 personas, 57.7% hombres y 42.3% mujeres, sus edades se mantuvieron en un rango de 18 a 70 años (M = 44, y DE = 12.8). Para evaluar las variables se utilizaron los instrumentos: Inventario de Ansiedad, Rasgo - Estado (IDARE) y Mindful Awareness Attention Scale (MAAS-5). Como resultado, se halló una correlación inversa significativa entre la variable de mindfulness y las variables de Ansiedad-Estado y Ansiedad-Rasgo en personas que padecen DMT2. Este estudio resalta la importancia en elevar el nivel de mindfulness para neutralizar los efectos de la Ansiedad-Estado y Ansiedad-Rasgo en personas con DMT2. Se sugiere diseñar programas de intervención psicológica, basados en la práctica del mindfulness, en los tratamientos de personas con DMT2 para disminuir sus niveles de ansiedad.

“…The intervention lowered distress associated with IU, which consequently increased condition acceptance. Elsewhere, ACT has also been shown to decrease IU-related distress and psychological difficulties in individuals with type 2 diabetes [97], while early pilot studies suggest that making modifications to ACT in the future may likewise reduce IU-related distress in people with cancer [98]. Furthermore, mindfulness has also been shown to decrease prostate cancer anxiety and uncertainty intolerance, while increasing global mental health and PTG in prostate cancer survivors [99].…”

The role of uncertainty intolerance in adjusting to long-term physical health conditions: A systematic review

Long-term physical health conditions (LTPHCs) are associated with poorer psychological well-being, quality of life, and longevity. Additionally, individuals with LTPHCs report uncertainty in terms of condition aetiology, course, treatment, and ability to engage in life. An individual’s dispositional ability to tolerate uncertainty—or difficulty to endure the unknown—is termed intolerance of uncertainty (IU), and may play a pivotal role in their adjustment to a LTPHC. Consequently, the current review sought to investigate the relationship between IU and health-related outcomes, including physical symptoms, psychological ramifications, self-management, and treatment adherence in individuals with LTPHCs. A systematic search was conducted for papers published from inception until 27 May 2022 using the databases PsycINFO, PubMed (MEDLINE), CINAHL Plus, PsycARTICLES, and Web of Science. Thirty-one studies (N = 6,201) met the inclusion criteria. Results indicated that higher levels of IU were associated with worse psychological well-being outcomes and poorer quality of life, though impacts on self-management were less clear. With the exception of one study (which looked at IU in children), no differences in IU were observed between patients and healthy controls. Although findings highlight the importance of investigating IU related to LTPHCs, the heterogeneity and limitations of the existing literature preclude definite conclusions. Future longitudinal and experimental research is required to investigate how IU interacts with additional psychological constructs and disease variables to predict individuals’ adjustment to living with a LTPHC.

“…Several studies in the literature have focused on variables such as alexithymia and intolerance of uncertainty, but there is a lack of knowledge regarding the relationship between emotional experience and pathology [18][19][20][21][22]. Authors such as Gibson and colleagues [19] have described the characteristics of intolerance of uncertainty in people suffering from diabetes, highlighting that prospective and inhibitory anxiety have an impact on these individuals through reduced quality of life and adverse biological factors.…”

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) represents a complex pathology affecting a large number of people. Research suggests that psychological factors influence coping with T1DM. This study aimed to investigate the presence and role of psychopathology, alexithymia and uncertainty in people affected by T1DM. The sample consisted of 137 patients (88 females, 49 males) affected by T1DM aged from 11 to 19 years old (Mean: 13.87; SD: 2.40). The diagnostic protocol consisted of a sociodemographic questionnaire, Self-administration Psychiatric Scales for Children and Adolescents (SAFA), Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20) and Intolerance to Uncertainty Scale-12 (IUS-12). Descriptive, differential, correlational and regression analyses were performed in order to examine the relationships between these variables. The results suggested the sample had high levels of psychopathological indexes, alexithymia and intolerance of uncertainty. Also, there were significant differences between TAS-20 and IUS-12 distributions with respect to psychopathology. Correlations and multivariate linear regressions indicated age, gender and education significantly predicted alexithymia and intolerance of uncertainty. This data suggest the presence of elevated psychopathology, alexithymia and uncertainty in people with diabetes.
