Abstract

Background/Purpose: Type-2 Diabetes is a disease that may cause many complications or even early mortality. Thus, adherence to treatment is crucial for people with Type-2 Diabetes. Treatment regimens for diabetes include many steps like controlling for blood sugar levels and exercising and also it is known that support from the environment might motivate patients to adhere to their treatment regimens more. Accordingly, the purpose of the current research article is to understand the relationships between perceived social support and treatment adherence in Type-2 Diabetes patients.
Methods: After obtaining the necessary ethical approval, I administered surveys to 119 Type-2 Diabetes patients.
Results: I found that patients who feel more support from their significant ones adhere to their treatment regimens significantly more.
Conclusion: This result shows the importance of social support for Type 2 Diabetes patients. Thus, in the future researchers might try to understand how people make those people suffer from diseases feel more supported and create some intervention programs accordingly.

Keywords
