“…The results of this study indicate that there is a statistically significant relationship between social support and self-care in tuberculosis patients. This is consistent with the study of Mohebi et al, (2018) which stated that social support, as an important psychosocial concept, can have a beneficial effect on self-care behaviour. The ability to self-care for tuberculosis sufferers is influenced by positive supporting elements of the social environment (the closest people to the patient) including family members, neighbours, friends or colleagues (He et al, 2016;Saifullah, Mulyadi, & Asniar, 2018).…”

Tuberculosis is a disease that requires lengthy treatment. Knowledge of tuberculosis as well as family and social support are considered as important components of efficacy decisions. This study was conducted to analyse the relationship between knowledge, family and social support and self-efficacy and self-care behaviour in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. The research used a cross sectional design. The population were 77 people and 65 respondents were obtained using a purposive sampling technique. Instruments used were knowledge, family support, social support, self-efficacy and self-care behaviour questionnaires. The data analysis method used was the Spearman rho test with a significance value of ??0.05. There were significant correlations between knowledge (p=0.003) and family support (p=0.000) and self-efficacy. There was no correlation between social support (p=0.106) and self-efficacy. There was a correlation between knowledge (p=0.048), family support (p=0.036) and social support (p=0.022) and self-care behaviour. There was a relationship between knowledge and family support and self-efficacy, whereas social support had no relationship with self-efficacy. There was a relationship between knowledge, family support and social support and self-care behaviour. Future researchers are expected to be able to design quasi experimental research to determine cultural differences (habits) in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis

“…People who are professionally inactive more frequently than those professionally active inform others about their health problem in the hope of receiving help in complying with medical recommendations (37.8% (37) and 15.8% (6), respectively, p = 0.013).

“…indeed, Stopford et al concluded that the family support is most often associated with the reduction of HbA 1c level [14]. the study conducted by Mohebi et al also revealed that patients with higher HbA 1c values felt less social support [17]. Another large group (80%) informed by patients about their disease are other people with diabetes.…”

Background. type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that can influence the relationship between patients and their social environment. Some diabetics are afraid of discrimination because of their illness. Objectives. understanding who of their social circle those afflicted with type 2 diabetes inform of the course of their disease. Material and methods. 136 patients with type 2 diabetes, including 71 women and 65 men (age-median: 62.5, min-max: 40-84) were subjected to a survey study which included, firstly, questions on who they inform about their affliction, secondly, the degree to which they admit to the affliction as compared with selected carbohydrate metabolism parameters of their illness (HbA 1c , fasting glucose). Results. regarding their affliction, patients with type 2 diabetes most often inform their family members of their state of being, especially those who live with them (99.1%; 111), as well as those who do not live with them (86%; 117), then other people with diabetes (80.1%; 109), friends (72.8%; 99) and neighbours (63.2%; 86). in contrast, every second employed respondent did not inform their employer. the reason for admission to being type 2 diabetic was primarily motivated by a desire to prove that they can live a normal life while diabetic (60.3%; 86). there is a negative correlation between the level of HbA 1c and a willingness to reveal that the afflicted can live a normal life despite their diabetes (p < 0,05). Conclusions. our research shows that type 2 diabetics do not always inform certain people within their social environment about their illness. this may have negative consequences. the reasons for this behavior require further research.

“…Given this interest, these approaches may have broad appeal and acceptability. Clearly, this is an area warranting substantial research attention, given the promising findings regarding their efficacy for many other conditions [ 89 ] and the direct effects they have demonstrated on ER skills.…”

Mind-Body Approaches to Prevention and Intervention for Alcohol and Other Drug Use/Abuse in Young Adults

2018

Alcohol and other drug (AOD) misuse is highly prevalent among young adults and creates myriad long-term problematic social, economic, and health consequences. Current treatments aimed at preventing or alleviating AOD misuse have demonstrated fairly inconsistent and weak effectiveness and, thus, are far from a complete solution. In this review, we describe the current state of AOD interventions for young adults and present an alternative emotion regulation framework for understanding AOD use/misuse. We then describe implications of this framework for interventions to promote healthier emotion regulation to successfully reduce AOD use/misuse. In particular, we assert that mind–body approaches, such as meditation, distress tolerance, and yoga, may promote emotion regulation skills that allow young adults to manage their stressful experiences and distressing emotions without AOD use. We review the available literature on mind–body interventions targeting AOD use/misuse in young adults and offer suggestions for future intervention development and research.
