Rol de la psicoeducación en la disminución de niveles depresivos en pacientes diabéticos de la fundación Mundo Esperanza en el periodo de octubre a marzo del año 2024

Abstract

The psychoeducational role plays an essential role in the management of depression in individuals with diabetes, providing a comprehensive understanding of the connection between illness and mental health. Through this approach, it aims to strengthen psychological well-being by imparting detailed information about the interrelationship between physical condition and emotional factors. Education becomes a meaningful tool by teaching practical strategies for coping with the emotional challenges associated with diabetes. This psychoeducational approach goes beyond the simple transmission of information by focusing on improving adherence to treatment and encouraging self-management of mental health. Patients not only gain knowledge about their situation but are also empowered with practical skills that enable them to address depression and improve their quality of life. Addressing negative perceptions related to depression in diabetic patients involves confronting the prejudices and negative labels associated with the experience of having both health conditions. In this context, the role of psychoeducation is essential to foster a more supportive and understanding environment for those facing the complexities of living with diabetes and depression simultaneously.
