Abstract

Background: social support is important for adaptation in chronic diseases, such as diabetes and depression, because it favors recovery and adherence to treatment. Introducing its evaluation in the follow-up of diabetic patients can reduce complications derived from secondary non-adherence. Aims: to establish social support in diabetic patients and its correlation with depressive symptoms. Methods: a cross-sectional analytical study nested in a cohort of 173 recently diagnosed diabetic patients (<6 months) in Colombia over 18 years of age, treated in a cardiovascular risk program in 2022. The Chronic Illness Social Support Inventory was used. Results: Most of the participants were women (77.5%); single(83.8%), age (mean = 62.6 years (SD 12.3)); glycemia (mean = 146.4 (SD 65.5)), glycosylated hemoglobin (mean = 7.6 (SD 1.7)). Cronbach's α coefficient for the general scale of the social support instrument was 0.9859. The mean social support was 168.5 (SD 37.4), range 38-228. The total social support score was normally distributed (Shapiro Wilk p > 0.05). The correlation between domains was statistically significant. The PHQ9 total score was significantly associated with the domains of Personal Interaction and Guide but did not significantly correlate with the overall social support score. The respondents who were at risk of developing depression were referred for treatment. Conclusions: findings suggest that perceived social support may play a significant role in the prevention and treatment of depression in diabetic patients. It is desirable that health professionals consider evaluating and enhancing social support to improve their mental health. More research is needed to gain a comprehensive understanding of this relationship.

新近确诊的糖尿病患者的社会支持:抑郁症的风险因素?
背景:社会支持对糖尿病和抑郁症等慢性疾病的适应非常重要,因为它有利于康复和坚持治疗。在对糖尿病患者进行随访时对其进行评估,可减少因继发性不坚持治疗而引起的并发症。目的:确定糖尿病患者的社会支持及其与抑郁症状的相关性。方法:一项横断面分析研究,嵌套于 173 名近期确诊的糖尿病患者队列中(结果:大部分参与者为女性(77.5%);单身(83.8%);年龄(平均 = 62.6 岁(标清 12.3));血糖(平均 = 146.4(标清 65.5));糖化血红蛋白(平均 = 7.6(标清 1.7))。社会支持工具一般量表的 Cronbach's α 系数为 0.9859。社会支持的平均值为 168.5 (SD 37.4),范围为 38-228。社会支持总分呈正态分布(Shapiro Wilk p > 0.05)。各领域之间的相关性具有统计学意义。PHQ9 总分与 "人际交往 "和 "向导 "领域有明显相关性,但与社会支持总分无明显相关性。有患抑郁症风险的受访者被转介接受治疗。结论:研究结果表明,感知到的社会支持可能在预防和治疗糖尿病患者抑郁症方面发挥重要作用。医护人员最好考虑评估和加强社会支持,以改善他们的心理健康。要全面了解这种关系,还需要进行更多的研究。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Public Health Research (JPHR) is an online Open Access, peer-reviewed journal in the field of public health science. The aim of the journal is to stimulate debate and dissemination of knowledge in the public health field in order to improve efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of public health interventions to improve health outcomes of populations. This aim can only be achieved by adopting a global and multidisciplinary approach. The Journal of Public Health Research publishes contributions from both the “traditional'' disciplines of public health, including hygiene, epidemiology, health education, environmental health, occupational health, health policy, hospital management, health economics, law and ethics as well as from the area of new health care fields including social science, communication science, eHealth and mHealth philosophy, health technology assessment, genetics research implications, population-mental health, gender and disparity issues, global and migration-related themes. In support of this approach, JPHR strongly encourages the use of real multidisciplinary approaches and analyses in the manuscripts submitted to the journal. In addition to Original research, Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, Meta-synthesis and Perspectives and Debate articles, JPHR publishes newsworthy Brief Reports, Letters and Study Protocols related to public health and public health management activities.
