العوامل النفسية و علاقتها بالمرض السكري : دراسة أنثروبولوجيا

Abstract EN

Diabetes is among the chronic diseases that have special impacts on the psychological state of patients and their families.

Having a disease means a long-term state of continuous fight between the patient and the illness, along with all the medical expenses and life-threatening implications.

The psychological factor plays an essential role in developing diabetes for people with a genetic predisposition to the disease, and in determining the patient's capacity to consent to treatment at the beginning of the diagnosis of the disease.

Therefore, the relationship between the diabetes disease and the psychological factor is a bilateral relationship, because the poor psychological condition of a patient with diabetes leads to an imbalance in his blood sugar and vice versa.

The reactions of a diabetic patient differ from one person to another.

Patients react differently in accepting the disease and its treatment, or rejecting it and not treating it.

Consequently, there will be a great pressure on patients with diabetes.

These pressures have a negative psychological impact on the patient and the people around him.

The existence of psychological problems reduces the chance of responding positively to treatment; they do not help in controlling the disease and reducing its severity and its complications
