Abstract

Background: Globally, the cases of type 2 diabetes are increasing, and this is largely attributed to lifestyle changes. Though diabetes is primarily a metabolic disease determined by biological factors, psychosocial aspects play a crucial role in its progression and management. However, the literature on psychosocial dimensions of diabetes management is minuscule and scattered.
Objective: This synthesis sought to understand the psychosocial facilitators and barriers to type 2 diabetes management and coping among adults.
Methods: We have adopted a meta-synthesis to review available qualitative studies using Pub- Med and Scopus databases. Based on inclusion criteria, we have chosen 24 studies published between 2010 and 2023. We have considered studies across countries, among which 63% of the studies included were from Western countries, and most have employed qualitative descriptive design. The selected studies were analyzed thematically using a deductive framework.
Results: Six themes emerged as the psychosocial barriers and facilitators of managing and coping with type 2 diabetes: 1) cognitive-emotional factors, 2) faith, 3) constraints to behavioural change, 4) social constraints and support, 5) healthcare provider-patient relationship, and 6) awareness. Further, a conceptual framework was developed from the synthesis.
Conclusion: The patients' experiences evident from this synthesis signify the crucial role of psychosocial factors in diabetes management and coping. This evidence emphasizes the need for integrated care so that psychosocial aspects are addressed by healthcare providers and behavioural health professionals, which may lead to the promotion of facilitators and the minimization of barriers.
