Diabetes is one of the fastest growing chronic diseases globally and in the United States. Although preventable, type 2 diabetes accounts for 90 % of all cases of diabetes worldwide and continues to be a source of increased disability, lost productivity, mortality, and amplified health-care costs. Proper disease management is crucial for achieving better diabetes-related outcomes. Evidence suggests that higher levels of social support are associated with improved clinical outcomes, reduced psychosocial symptomatology, and the adaptation of beneficial lifestyle activities; however, the role of social support in diabetes management is not well understood. The purpose of this systematic review is to examine the impact of social support on outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes.
糖尿病是全球和美国增长最快的慢性病之一。尽管可以预防,但 2 型糖尿病占全球所有糖尿病病例的 90%,并且仍然是增加残疾、生产力损失、死亡率和放大医疗保健成本的原因。适当的疾病管理对于实现更好的糖尿病相关结果至关重要。有证据表明,更高水平的社会支持与改善的临床结果、减少的心理社会症状以及有益的生活方式活动的适应有关;然而,社会支持在糖尿病管理中的作用还不是很清楚。本系统评价的目的是研究社会支持对 2 型糖尿病成人结局的影响。
