          Abstract

          Pesquisas qualitativas envolvendo a relação entre representações sociais da alimentação, identidade e controle glicêmico não foram encontradas na literatura científica sobre o assunto. O objetivo desse estudo é analisar as representações sociais da alimentação das pessoas com diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) conforme representam a sua identidade e suas implicações no controle glicêmico. Participaram 34 usuários com DM2 de uma unidade básica de saúde de Belo Horizonte, Brasil. Utilizou-se a associação livre de palavras com justificativas de questões para identificar as representações sociais da identidade e da alimentação. As categorias das representações identitárias foram obtidas de um estudo anterior realizado com os mesmos participantes: aqueles que se consideram “normais”; os que aceitam a doença; os inconformados e os que levam a vida com dificuldades. As categorias das representações sociais da alimentação são: comer saudável, comer verduras e frutas, comer pouco, evitar doces, não comer de tudo, não comer muito e não seguir a dieta. É necessário desenvolver estudos que aumentem o conhecimento sobre as dificuldades e as necessidades das pessoas com diabetes e que promovam o seu envolvimento e o autocuidado.

          Translated abstract

          Qualitative research involving the relationship between social representations of diet, identity and glycemic control was not found in the scientific literature on the subject. The objective of this study is to analyze the social representations of the diet of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) as they represent their identity and its implications for glycemic control. A total of 34 DM2 users from a basic health unit in Belo Horizonte, Brazil participated. We used the free association of words with justifications of questions to identify the social representations of identity and diet. The categories of identity representations were obtained from an earlier study conducted with the same participants: those who considered themselves "normal"; those who accept the disease; the nonconformists and those who lead a difficult life. The categories of social representations of diet are: eating healthy, eating vegetables and fruits, eating little, avoiding sweets, not eating at all, not eating too much and not following the diet. It is necessary to develop studies that increase awareness of the difficulties and needs of people with diabetes and promote their involvement and self-care.

          Depression and diabetes: impact of depressive symptoms on adherence, function, and costs.

          Depression is common among patients with chronic medical illness. We explored the impact of depressive symptoms in primary care patients with diabetes on diabetes self-care, adherence to medication regimens, functioning, and health care costs. We administered a questionnaire to 367 patients with types 1 and 2 diabetes from 2 health maintenance organization primary care clinics to obtain data on demographics, depressive symptoms, diabetes knowledge, functioning, and diabetes self-care. On the basis of automated data, we measured medical comorbidity, health care costs, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) levels, and oral hypoglycemic prescription refills. Using depressive symptom severity tertiles (low, medium, or high), we performed regression analyses to determine the impact of depressive symptoms on adherence to diabetes self-care and oral hypoglycemic regimens, HbA(1c) levels, functional impairment, and health care costs. Compared with patients in the low-severity depression symptom tertile, those in the medium- and high-severity tertiles were significantly less adherent to dietary recommendations. Patients in the high-severity tertile were significantly distinct from those in the low-severity tertile by having a higher percentage of days in nonadherence to oral hypoglycemic regimens (15% vs 7%); poorer physical and mental functioning; greater probability of having any emergency department, primary care, specialty care, medical inpatient, and mental health costs; and among users of health care within categories, higher primary (51% higher), ambulatory (75% higher), and total health care costs (86% higher). Depressive symptom severity is associated with poorer diet and medication regimen adherence, functional impairment, and higher health care costs in primary care diabetic patients. Further studies testing the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of enhanced models of care of diabetic patients with depression are needed. Arch Intern Med. 2000;160:3278-3285.
