Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Individuals diagnosed with diabetes mellitus are at an increased risk for
developing depression. According to the literature, depression in diabetes
mellitus has been associated with a poorer quality of life, poorer regimen
adherence, poorer adjustment to diabetes, poorer glycaemic control, and an
increased risk of developing diabetes related complications. While the role of
certain psychosocial determinants in the onset and maintenance of depression
has been investigated, mental health professionals and researchers have
neglected the task of conceptualizing the relationship between depression and
diabetes from a psychological perspective. This assignment presents a
psychological conceptualization of the relationship between diabetes and
depression, using Beck's (1967, 1979) cognitive model of depression as a
framework. This conceptualization may serve as a means of theoretically
understanding the relationship between these two conditions and as a framework
in directing future research on this relationship. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Individue wat met diabetes mellitus gediagnoseer word, toon 'n verhoogde risiko
om depressie te ontwikkel. Volgens die literatuur word depressie in diabetes
mellitus geassosieer met 'n swakker lewensgehelte, swakker nakoming van
behandeling, swakker aanpassing by diabetes, swakker glisemie-kontrole, en 'n
verhoogde risiko om diabetes verwante komplikasies te ontwikkel. Hoewel die rol
van bepaalde psigososiale verandelikes in die ontstaan en instandhouding van
depressie reeds ondersoek is, is min nog gedoen oor 'n konseptualisering van
die assosiasie tussen diabetes en depressie. Hierdie werkstuk handeloor 'n
konseptualisering van die verband tussen diabetes en depressie, gebaseer op
Beck (1967, 1979) se kognitiewe model van depressie. Die konseptualisering
dien as 'n naamwerk om hierdie verband te verstaan en toekomstige narvorsing
hieroor te rig.
