Abstract Background: Type-2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the most prevalent chronic and noncommunicable conditions both domestically and globally. The objective of this descriptive study was to examine how perceived social support impacted self-care management behavior among female African American and Caribbean populations. Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study recruited 42 African American and Caribbean women diagnosed with T2D (M = 69.1, SD = 12.0). Univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted to explore the relationship between (1) demographic characteristics, (2) desired and received social support variables, and (3) self-management behaviors. Results: Caribbean women residing in the United States were more likely to follow general diet (M = 5.38, SD = 1.43) and to engage in physical activity (M = 4.31, SD = 2.39), whereas African American women were more likely to follow a specific diabetes diet (M = 3.79, SD = 1.60) and to monitor their glucose (M = 5.70, SD = 1.75). Caribbean women living in the United States Virgin Islands were more likely to follow recommended foot care procedure (M = 4.65, SD = 1.36). A negative correlation occurred between female participants exercising and the desired support in exercising. Women who reported that they desired more support with physical activity exercised less (r s= −0.34; P = 0.04). No relationship was found between foot care procedure and demographic characteristics or social support variables (i.e. desired or received). Conclusion: This study suggests directions for future studies that would examine the dynamics of social support and T2D self-management behaviors, and this study might be relevant to other Caribbean and African American communities with T2D both in North America and the Caribbean.

A qualitative study was conducted to investigate the concept of resilience among Iranian haemophilic adolescents based on the Haase’s Resilience in Illness Model (RIM). Purposive sampling was used to recruit 15 participants comprising haemophilic adolescents and their parents in the study. The data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and analysed using direct content analysis. The themes and categories were defensive coping (emotive coping, evasive coping), courageous coping (optimism, constructive approach, seeking support), derived meaning (spiritual strategy, hope) and social support (support from family, friends and treatment teams). Social support, adopting a spiritual strategy and self-management behaviours played an important role among the adolescents in improving their level of resilience and skills to cope with haemophilia.

Objectives To examine, among Veterans, relationships of general social support and diabetes-specific social support for physical activity and healthy eating with diabetes self-management behaviors. Methods Patients from VA Puget Sound, Seattle completed a cross-sectional survey in 2012–2013 ( N = 717). We measured (a) general social support and (b) diabetes-specific social support for healthy eating and physical activity with domains reflecting support person participation, encouragement, and sharing ideas. Among 189 self-reporting diabetes patients, we fit linear and modified Poisson regression models estimating associations of social support with diabetes self-management behaviors: adherence to general and diabetes-specific diets and blood glucose monitoring (days/week); physical activity (< vs. ≥150 min/week); and smoking status (smoker/non-smoker). Results General social support was not associated with diabetes self-management. For diabetes-specific social support, higher healthy eating support scores across all domains were associated with better adherence to general and diabetes-specific diets. Higher physical activity support scores were positively associated with ≥150 min/week of physical activity only for the participation domain. Discussion Diabetes-specific social support was a stronger and more consistent correlate of improved self-management than general social support, particularly for lifestyle behaviors. Incorporating family/friends into Veterans’ diabetes self-management routines may lead to better self-management and improvements in disease control and outcomes.

Abstract Objective The aims of this study were to investigate the status quo of self-management behaviors in stroke patients at the recovery stage and to explore its influencing factors. Methods A total of 440 hospitalized convalescent stroke patients were recruited and investigated using the Basic Situation Questionnaire, Self-management Behavior Scale of Stroke, Stroke Prevention Knowledge Questionnaire and Social Support Rating Scale. Results The mean self-management behavior score was (151.95±23.58), and dimensions in descending order were as follows: dietary management, drug safety management, social function and interpersonal relationships, life management, emotion management, rehabilitation exercise management and disease management. Five regional self-management behavior scores were statistically significant, and the scores from Minnan and Minzhong of the Fujian province, China, were higher than the others. Gender, age, family income and self-management behavior were significantly correlated (P<0.05); educational level, stroke knowledge level, social support level and self-management behavior were positively correlated, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusions The overall self-management level of convalescent stroke patients should be improved to strengthen health education; focus on the educational level, which is relatively low; strengthen the social support system of patients; stimulate the enthusiasm and initiative of self-management disease patients to promote disease rehabilitation and improve the quality of life.

Introduction: Older stroke survivors often experience difficulties managing stroke due to coexistent nature of stroke related neurological deficits and age related physical changes. Identifying effective strategies for enhancing stroke self-management in older survivors is needed. Objective: Using a mixed methods inquiry approach, this secondary data analysis from a randomised controlled trial examines the role of patient empowerment on self-management among older stroke participants (aged 65 or above), and what strategies (if any) they used for self-management post-stroke. Methods: Phase I study composed of a sub-group analysis on 143 older stroke participants (age 77.1±7.6, 51.7% male, 80.4% ischemic stroke) who received a stroke patient empowerment intervention plus usual care (n=66) or usual care only (n=77). Generalized estimating equations were used to assess between-group changes in stroke self-management behaviors and functional recovery (Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living-IADL) over time at baseline (T0) and 3-month post-intervention (T1), using intention-to-treat. During Phase II, in-depth individual interviews by purposive sampling (n=21) were conducted exploring self-management experience post-intervention. Content analysis at both latent and manifest levels were performed. Results: Participants receiving the empowerment intervention had significantly better self-management behaviors (all p<0.05, effect size range from 0.36-0.72), and IADL (p=0.003, effect size 0.54) at T1, compared to those receiving usual care only. Content analysis revealed four categories of self-management strategies adopted, namely Visualizing self-manager role; Enhancing resilience; Anticipatory help seeking and Collaborative symptom management. Three barriers to stroke self-management were identified: Accepting disability as part of ageing; Filial piety care concept and Fatigue. Conclusions: A patient empowerment intervention engaged older stroke survivors in self-management. Findings of this mixed methods analysis inform important contextual components of care for tailoring interventions for older stroke survivors to foster self-management post-stroke and improve functional recovery.
