“…In the present study, we assessed who were the most important ICGs, and the associations between demographic and socio-economic predictors and unmet needs of informal care of relevance for diabetes self-management in a rural population in Vietnam. The spouse was the most important ICG for diabetes self-management, and this finding is in accordance with other studies (8,14,15).…”

BACKGROUND From a diabetes management perspective, informal care has proven at least as important as care from health professionals when targeting poorly controlled diabetes. The objective of this study was to identify determinants associated with unmet needs for informal support among people with type-2 diabetes in rural communities of Vietnam. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted from December 2018 to February 2019 in a rural area of northern Vietnam. From 2 districts in Thai Binh Province, Vietnam, 806 people with type-2 diabetes participated in a survey designed to assess who were their most important informal caregivers (ICGs) and to measure the association between demographic and socio-economic predictors and unmet needs of informal support of relevance for diabetes self-care using bivariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS The spouse was reported as the most important ICG (62.9%) followed by a daughter or son (28.4%). 32.0% of the people with type-2 diabetes reported at least one type of unmet need for informal support. The most commonly reported unmet needs of informal care were: transport to health facilities and company when seeking formal care (20.5%), financial support related to costs of diabetes self-management (18.5%), and reminders to engage in physical exercise (14.5%). People living alone reported the highest odds ratio (OR) for unmet need of informal care (OR=4.41; CI95%: 2.19-8.88), followed by those being poor as compared to being wealthy (OR=3.79; CI95%: 1.25-11.52) and those being unemployed as compared to being retired (OR=2.85; CI95%: 1.61-5.05). CONCLUSIONS Almost one-third of people with type-2 diabetes reported at least one type of unmet need for informal care. These findings provide a basis for development of new modalities for strengthening support provided by ICGs in rural communities in Vietnam and in other low- and middle-income countries.

“…However, family support enhanced patients' disease management and a sense of control. Similar to other studies, in this study, spouse support improved adherence to treatment and the lifestyle modifications required to achieve glycaemic control and prevent diabetes complications (Gupta et al, ) and their inclusion in patient education help to improve patient outcomes (Moser & Dracup, ). Several barriers to maintaining and promoting health were addressed by patients, such as being tired of imposed lifestyle restrictions, poor adherence, financial burden and lack of social, financial and informational support.…”

Aim The aim of this study was to explore the perception and understanding of men with type 2 diabetes about their illness control, risk for CVD and their adherence to healthcare management plans in Jordan. Design A qualitative descriptive design was used, recruiting a purposive sample of 13 men diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Methods Data were collected between February and April 2019 through in‐depth semi‐structured interviews and analysed using content analysis. Results Data analysis revealed four themes: (a) Perception of diabetes control; (b) Perception of cardiovascular disease risk; (c) Coping with disease‐imposed limitations; and (d) Information validation. Conclusion The study concludes that the perception of disease control does not necessarily coincide with actual disease control. Examining patients with diabetes perception and knowledge of their healthcare management and increased CVD risks is essential. An individualized culture and gender‐sensitive health education and counselling involving spouses are recommended. Social media to disseminate scientific valid health instructions can enhance adherence.

“…Attendance and weight loss are suboptimal, especially among racial/ethnic minorities, and men are underrepresented ( 1 ). Promoting participation with household members may be important given risk concordance ( 2 , 3 ) and benefits of partner/family support in diabetes management interventions ( 2 ). Less is known about the role of close others in diabetes prevention.…”
