Background: This systematic review aims to investigate the association between comorbid mental disorders and quality of life (QoL) in patients with chronic medical diseases. Methods: Studies investigating adults with diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, asthma, chronic back pain and colorectal cancer were included. Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed methodological criteria. Effect sizes for QoL scores were analyzed in random-effects meta-analyses. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted. Results: The database search identified 7,291 references and 65 primary studies were included. Medically ill persons with comorbid mental disorders showed a significantly decreased overall (d = –1.10; 95% CI = –1.34 to –0.86), physical (d = –0.64; 95% CI = –0.74 to –0.53) and psychosocial (d = –1.18; 95% CI = –1.42 to –0.95) QoL compared to persons without mental disorders. Subgroup analyses did not reveal significant differences between the examined medical diseases or mental disorders. Conclusion: The review provides evidence of a substantially reduced psychosocial and physical QoL in medically ill patients with comorbid mental disorders. This patient-reported outcome highlights the importance of recognizing and treating comorbid mental disorders in the medically ill.

“…They found that women had lower scores in measuring their health status and self-care performance comparing with men. They recommended that gender differences needed to be considered during treatment planning and even screening process (32). Research has shown a significant correlation between exercise training and decreased daily insulin intake for controlling blood glucose.…”

Background:The key factor in the management of diabetes mellitus (DM) is promoting self-care behavior, which may help to control patients' blood glucose appropriately. The first step in DM management is to identify the patients' self-care needs. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine and compare self-care performance between children and adolescents with type 1 DM (DM-1). Patients and Methods:This descriptive-analytical research was conducted on 99 children and adolescents with DM-1 who were referred to the Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Institute of Isfahan in the first half of 2012. The participants were recruited using convenience sampling procedure. The data were collected using researcher-made questionnaire; the reliability and validity of this questionnaire were examined and approved before administration to the subjects. The data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: The items were quantified on a five-point Likert scale. With regard to nutrition, 36.4% of children and 40.9% of adolescents had moderate performance. Moreover, 56.3% of children and 47% of adolescents showed moderate performance regarding DM management and 37.9% of adolescents had moderate performance in exercise training. The subjects had good and very good self-care performance scores. The results showed no significant difference in the mean scores of overall self-care performance between children and adolescents; however, there was a significant difference in the mean scores of exercise training and glucose self-monitoring between males and females, which indicated females' weaker performance in comparison to that of males regarding these two factors (P = 0.02). Conclusions: Identifying the needs of children and adolescents with DM-1 in terms of self-care and education may help them to have better performance in management, control, and prevention of DM complications.

“…Even with established clinical guidelines and important advances achieved in knowledge in regard to treatment to obtain better clinical control of the disease, many with DM2 still do not achieve effective glycemic control and remain at risk of long-term complications. Studies comparing men and women with DM2 report that women have worse glycemic control, self-care practices, and quality of life (1)(2) . Factors associated with these findings reflect the growing recognition that there are different health and illness patterns between men and women, which transcend biology and include psychological, cultural, political, economic, and historical factors (3)(4)(5) .…”

The purpose of this study is to present an understanding of the experience of Brazilian homemakers with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). A descriptive exploratory design was used and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 25 Brazilian homemakers concerning their experience. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and the resulting text was analyzed using the sequential step method. Data converged to one dominant category, "constructing one's identity in the family context", which is comprised of three categories: gender differences; day-to-day concerns; and incongruity between knowledge and behavior related to DM2. These findings suggest that participants construct their identities within the family context and that their experience of living with DM2 is integral to their self-identification as wives and mothers. This, in turn, has implications for the design and implementation of programs to assist women in managing DM2 effectively. La perspectiva de ama de casa brasileña sobre la vida con diabetes mellitus tipo 2El propósito de este estudio es comprender la experiencia de las amas de casa brasileñas con la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2). Se empleo un abordaje exploratorio descriptivo, donde participaron de las entrevistas 25 amas de casa de Brasil acerca de su experiencia con el DM. Las entrevistas fueron grabadas, transcritas y el texto resultante se analizó mediante el método secuencial de cuatro etapas: aprensión, síntesis, teorización y transferencia.Los datos se reunieron en un tema dominante: "construyendo su identidad en el contexto familiar", que se compone de tres sub-temas: las diferencias de género, las preocupaciones del cotidiano y la incongruencia entre el conocimiento y el comportamiento relacionado con DM2. Estos hallazgos sugieren que los participantes construyen su propia identidad dentro del contexto familiar y que su experiencia de vivir con DM2 es parte integral de su identificación como esposas y madres. Esto, a su vez, tiene implicaciones para el planeamiento e implementación de programas para ayudar a las mujeres para administrar con eficacia la DM2.
