Bakgrund: Diabetes mellitus typ 2 (DMT2) är en seriös global folkhälsofråga med allvarligakonsekvenser för de som drabbas av den. Urbanisering och ekonomisk utveckling har ökat förekomstenav sjukdomen och livsstilsfaktorer, såsom en stillasittande livsstil och ohälsosamma matvanor, leder tillhögre BMI och ökad glukoslagring, vilket ökar sannolikheten för försämrad egenvård. Egenvård är enavgörande komponent inom hanterandet av DMT2 i vardagen. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva egenvård för vuxna patienter med diabetes mellitus typ 2.Metod: En litteraturstudie med kvalitativa egenskaper samt en tematisk analys av resultaten. Studiensresultat inkluderade 12 artiklar. Resultat: Två teman med fyra subteman upptäcktes. Patienternas erfarenheter av egenvård ochkommunikation: Stöd från närstående och sjuksköterskor, kunskap och kommunikation medsjuksköterskor. Viktiga livsstilsförändringar som är avgörande för patienters välmående: Fysisk aktivitet som del av vardagen, kosthantering och dess tillämpning. Slutsats: Denna litteraturöversikt betonar behovet av ett holistiskt tillvägagångssätt för egenvård vidDMT2, med individuellt anpassade svar på patienternas behov och hänsyn till deras socialaomständigheter.

O diabetes Mellitus tipo II tem sido preocupação corrente nos dias atuais, pois, independente dos fatores desencadeados desta doença e de até certo ponto, algumas controvérsias sobre os mesmos, quaisquer investigações que possam contribuir para a melhoria de vida dos portadores do diabetes Mellitus tipo II, são altamente necessários. Destaque-se também que o levantamento estatístico e social da incidência dessa doença, tem demonstrado recentemente, que ocorrências tem incidido em indivíduos cada vez mais jovens contrariando a idéia de eventuais relações com idade avançada dos portadores. Durante os anos 90 estimava-se a existência de aproximadamente 175 a 200 milhões de diabéticos tipo II, em todo o mundo, por prospecção estima-se que em 2025, serão 300 milhões, os portadores da doença, sendo que 90 a 95% deles corresponderão ao tipo II. Esses fatos conduzem a presente pesquisa visto que, o exercício associado a medicamentos tem sido os elementos responsáveis pela melhoria de vida dos portadores de diabetes tipo II. Em vista disso foi proposto o estudo de 2 tipos de exercícios padronizados e avaliados mediante dosagem de glicose e teletermografia periférica. O nível glicêmico avaliado antes e após os 2 tipos de exercícios, (aeróbio e anaeróbio) demonstrou-se mais sensível aos exercícios anaeróbios propostos nesta investigação. Exercícios aeróbios (GDEA) - média da glicemia inicial 127,40 mg/dl - média da glicemia final 97,92 mg/dl - desvio padrão glicemia inicial 97,72 mg/dl, glicemia final 69,98 mg/dl. Exercícios anaeróbios (GDEAn) - média da glicemia inicial 132,62 mg/dl - média da glicemia final 91,54 mg/dl - desvio padrão glicemia inicial 90,84 mg/dl, glicemia final 61,11 mg/dl. A teletermografia periférica avaliada mediante a circulação do tegumento das plantas dos pés demonstrou-se igualmente favorável aos portadores dos diabetes tipo II submetidos aos exercícios anaeróbios. Exercícios aeróbios (GDEA) média da temperatura 28,09 graus Celsius - desvio padrão 1,14 graus Celsius.Exercícios anaeróbios (GDEAn) média da temperatura 29,67 graus Celsius - desvio padrão 1,13 graus Celsius. Procurou-se eventuais explicações para os resultados aqui obtidos, em vista dos quais os exercícios a serem praticados em portadores de diabetes Mellitus tipo II devem ser revistos. / Diabetes Mellitus type II investigations about quality of life improvement have been a concern nowadays, although there is some controversy about the cause of this disease. The incidence of this disease has been on younger people, what shows no direct relation with aging. During 90 decade it was estimated to exist 175 to 200 millions of people with diabetes type II around the world, it is estimated that in 2025 there will be 300 millions of diabetic people and 90 to 95% of these with the type II one. Those facts conduct the present research. Exercise associated to medicaments has improved the quality of life in people with diabetes type II. The present study investigated two different exercises and evaluated both with glucose dosage and periferical teletermography. Glicemic level was evaluated before and after both type of exercise (aerobic and anaerobic), and it was more sensitive to anaerobic exercises proposed. Aerobic exercises (GDEA) - mean initial glicemic index 127,40 mg/dl - mean final glicemic index 97,92 mg/dl - initial glicemic standard deviation 97,72 mg/dl - final glicemic standard deviation - 69,98 mg/dl. Anaerobic exercises (GDEAn) - mean initial glicemic index 132,62 mg/dl - mean final glicemic index 91,54 mg/dl - initial glicemic standard deviation 90,84 mg/dl - final glicemic standard deviation - 61,11 mg/dl. Peripherical teletermography evaluated trough feet plantar circulation demonstrated to be equally suitable to people with diabetes type II submitted to GDEA, mean temperature 28,09 °C - standard deviation 1,14°C, and to GDAn, mean temperature 29,67°C - standard deviation 1,13°C. Explanation was searched for presented results, those results demonstrated that exercise practicing must be reviewed if practiced by people with diabetes mellitus type II.

Background: Diabetes is an increasing problem in Hong Kong. Physical activity is an integral part of diabetes care but received surprisingly few attention locally. This study is the first study with focus on physical activity in Type 2 diabetes in Hong Kong. / Conclusion: There is a need to implement physical activity programs for the diabetes patients in Hong Kong. Stage-matched intervention for increasing physical activity level should be introduced into the current diabetes management routine. / Methods: For this cross-sectional study, 576 patients were recruited from two specialized diabetes clinics in Hong Kong for telephone interview. The interview included measures of physical activity (by IPAQ), mental distress (by DASS21), diabetes self-care (by SDSCA), self-care self-efficacy (by DES), exercise efficacy, attitude and subjective norm towards exercise, time-spent on exercise, instrumental social support, and various indicators of diabetes control (HbA1c, blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol). Regression models were fitted to identify determinants of physical activity, mental distress, and diabetes self-care. Structural equation modeling was used to model the inter-relationships between the variables. / Results: About half of the patients did not meet international guidelines of physical activity for diabetes patients. Exercise efficacy and attitudes towards exercise are the two dominant factors that predict physical activity level and exhibit significant difference between key stages of change. Level of mental distress was very low and did not correlate with physical activity or diabetes self-care. / Mui, Wai Ho. / Adviser: Joseph T.F.
