摘要

2 型糖尿病是一种严重的慢性疾病,影响着全球数百万人。南亚人(来自巴基斯坦、印度、孟加拉国、斯里兰卡和尼泊尔的个人)是罹患 2 型糖尿病(T2D)的高风险种族,即使在移民人口中,该病的发病率也很高。本研究的目的是调查安大略省患有 T2D 的南亚人的看法和经历,以及他们在省医疗保健系统中使用糖尿病相关服务的情况。研究人员对生活在大多伦多地区、被诊断患有 T2D 的南亚人进行了 20 次深入访谈,从中获得了相关数据。我们的研究结果表明,人们对安大略省的糖尿病服务覆盖范围不满意;对推荐的健康测试、检查和监测设备的接受程度不一;对额外资源(糖尿病中心)的利用率较低;初级保健医生需要更好地促进对社区现有覆盖范围和资源的认识和利用。这项研究为以下事实提供了支持:即使在加拿大的全民医疗保健系统中,也存在着差异,尤其是对少数民族而言,而全民处方药保险是确保所有人公平获得医疗服务利用的关键一步。

"The Critical Services Are Out of Reach": Diabetes Management and the Experiences of South Asian Immigrants in Ontario.

Type 2 diabetes is a serious chronic condition affecting millions of people worldwide. South Asians (individuals originating from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal) represent a high-risk ethnicity for developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) and experience a high prevalence of the disease, even in migrant populations. The objective of this study was to investigate perceptions and experiences of South Asians living with T2D in Ontario, and their utilization of diabetes related services within the provincial healthcare system. Data were obtained from 20 in-depth interviews with South Asian participants diagnosed with T2D and living in the Greater Toronto Area. Our findings indicate a dissatisfaction with Ontario's coverage for diabetes services; varying uptake of recommended health tests, exams, and monitoring equipment; low utilization of additional resources (diabetes centers); and a need for primary care physicians to better facilitate awareness and utilization of available coverages and resources in the community. This study provides support for the fact that even in Canada's universal healthcare system, disparities exist, particularly for ethnic minorities, and that a universal prescription drug coverage component is a crucial step forward to ensure equitable access to health services utilization for all.
