“…Such results support the study result [16] that the method of correcting weight gain, abdominal obesity and increase of dyslipidemia due to poor health habits as a result of aging can be a strategy to prevent and treat diabetes. The results also support that the results of previous studies [22,23] that social support for the elderly not only plays a protective role in promotion of coping and adaptation to these problems, but also influences self-care behavior.…”

“…Direct comparison is difficult because the same research tool was not used. However, the results were similar to those of the study of social support and self-care of diabetic patients, which suggested that physical function and emotional well-being are lowered and patients have a difficulty in self-care as social support decreases [22]. In particular, in the case of low-income patients, it is necessary to provide education and nursing intervention program with reinforced social support based on a previous study that reported that diabetic patients had low levels of self-care behavior without any family or anyone to help them [23].…”

“…Education on diabetes with peers can be a way to maintain the changes in lifestyle [20], and social support has been identified as a predictor to increase self-care behavior in diabetic patients [21]. In addition, if social support is decreased, the self-care of the individual becomes difficult and the physical function and emotional well-being are lowered [22]. In particular, low-income people do not have family or close friends to help them, and the diabetic self-care behavior level is low due to the misunderstanding that regular use of medication alone is enough to enable good management of diabetes [23].…”

“…And social support for the elderly not only plays a protective role in the promotion of coping and adaptation to these problems, but also influences self-care behavior [20,22]. This study is to provide basic data for the development of the nursing intervention program for the self-care behavior of the elderly with diabetes in vulnerable groups by examining the effect of body composition and social support on self-care behavior of the socially vulnerable elderly with diabetes.…”

Purpose: This study is to identify the effects of body composition and social support that affect the self-care behavior of the elderly with diabetes in the socially vulnerable group. Methods:The subjects of this study were 120 health care recipients registered at 5 public health centers in D city and aged 65 or older who were diagnosed with diabetes by their doctors. The data were analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results:The results of this study showed that the higher the BMI, the abdominal fat percentage and the body fat percentage, the lower the self-care behaviors and social support, and the higher the basic metabolism, the higher the self-care activities. In the final model, the total explanatory power of these variables was 56.3%. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, it is suggested that a self-care enhancement program considering the balanced body composition and high social support is developed and utilized in the socially vulnerable elderly with diabetes.

“…57 Individuals with diabetes often report that family members provide instrumental support, encouraging them to engage in self-management behaviors, including exercise, judicious grocery shopping, meal preparation, and foot care-activities that can help them to achieve better glycemic control over time. [58][59][60] Mechanisms by which social support influences PA include the establishment of social norms that promote the adoption and maintenance of health behaviors, such as exercise, and the provision of helpful ideas and material resources to overcome barriers to PA. 34 Family members, however, are not always a positive source of support. In direct contrast to reports that characterize family members as seemingly idyllic encouragers, some individuals testify that their family members have a tendency to make matters worse by engaging in regulatory or nagging behavior.…”

This article provides a review of literature both to identify the effects of yoga-based therapy on the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus and to examine the social context of physical activity. Findings from the review indicate that yoga has a positive short-term effect on multiple diabetesrelated outcomes; however, long-term effects of yoga therapy on diabetes management remain unclear. The context of the social environment, including interpersonal relationships, community characteristics, and discrimination, influences the adoption and maintenance of health behaviors such as physical activity, including yoga practice. Further research is necessary to determine the extent of this influence.

Patient Experiences of a Theory-Based Lifestyle-Focused Group Treatment in the Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases and Type 2 Diabetes

et al. 2012

BackgroundCardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes are two of the most common public health diseases, and up to 80 % of the cases may be prevented by lifestyle modification. The physiological effects of lifestyle-focused treatment are relatively well studied, but how patients actually experience such treatments is still rather unclear.PurposeThe aim of this study was to explore how patients experience lifestyle-focused group treatment in primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.MethodQualitative interviews were conducted with 19 patients attending lifestyle-focused group treatment based on social cognitive theory at a behavioral medicine clinic in northern Sweden. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed according to Malterud’s systematic text condensation.ResultsThe study shows that patients participating in this kind of group-based lifestyle treatment went through a process of self-development which deepened their understanding of own responsibility for health and improved their skills in finding support in others. The process could be tracked through three different themes (the holistic view, personal responsibility, and group treatment) which together reflected the most essential parts of the informants’ experience and showed the patient as an active decision maker struggling to adopt the principles of behavioral change.ConclusionLifestyle-focused group treatment, based on social cognitive theory, was shown to stimulate different components that strengthen patients’ self-efficacy for long-term behavioral change.
