Abstract

Aims To examine patient‐ and provider‐reported psychosocial problems and barriers to effective self‐care and resources for dealing with those barriers. Methods Cross‐sectional study using face‐to‐face or telephone interviews with diabetic patients and health‐care providers in 13 countries in Asia, Australia, Europe and North America. Participants were randomly selected adults ( n = 5104) with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, and providers ( n = 3827), including primary care physicians, diabetes specialist physicians and nurses. Results Regimen adherence was poor, especially for diet and exercise; provider estimates of patient self‐care were lower than patient reports for all behaviours. Diabetes‐related worries were common among patients, and providers generally recognized these worries. Many patients (41%) had poor psychological well‐being. Providers reported that most patients had psychological problems that affected diabetes self‐care, yet providers often reported they did not have the resources to manage these problems, and few patients (10%) reported receiving psychological treatment. Conclusions Psychosocial problems appear to be common among diabetic patients worldwide. Addressing these problems may improve diabetes outcomes, but providers often lack critical resources for doing so, particularly skill, time and adequate referral sources.

  • Daily self-management imposes a significant burden on patients with T2DM, often leading to increased emotional distress and feelings of being overwhelmed.

    “However, the demanding character of daily self-management imposes a significant burden on patients with T2DM. Adopting new healthier habits, along with the need for constant blood glucose monitoring and medication adherence, often leads to increased emotional distress and feelings of being overwhelmed [6,11-13].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
