About this Research Topic
Diabetes is usually a chronic condition that requires individuals to actively engage in self-care behaviors consistently over a lifetime. These activities include medication adherence, dietary modifications, regular physical activity, and blood glucose monitoring.
By examining the potential risks associated with diabetes self-management, this Research Topic aims to identify the challenges and barriers individuals face in effectively managing their condition. This may include exploring factors such as limited health literacy, lack of social support, cultural beliefs and practices, financial constraints, and psychological well-being.
Furthermore, this Research Topic also seeks to uncover and learn the resilience factors that enable individuals to overcome these challenges and successfully manage their diabetes. Resilience factors may encompass psychosocial factors, such as self-efficacy, motivation, self-care knowledge, coping strategies, and access to healthcare resources. Additionally, the influence of technology and digital health interventions in enhancing diabetes self-management resilience could also be explored.
This Research Topic has the potential to inform healthcare providers, policymakers, and diabetes educators about the critical factors that impact diabetes self-management. The insights gained could help in the development of targeted interventions, support systems, and educational programs to enhance diabetes management outcomes and improve the overall quality of life for individuals living with diabetes.
Overall, this Research Topic aims to shed light on the multifaceted nature of diabetes self-management by investigating both the potential risks and resilience factors involved. Through a comprehensive analysis, this study intends to contribute valuable knowledge towards enhancing the management and care of individuals with diabetes.
