Opis

Psychosocial issues have long been acknowledged to have a crucial role in the successful treatment of people with diabetes. An understanding of these issues can enable health care professionals to assist their patients effectively. The second edition of the acclaimed title Psychology in Diabetes Care gives background information and practical guidelines needed by healthcare professionals to address the cognitive, emotional and behavioural issues surrounding diabetes management. The book bridges the gap between psychological research on self-care and management of diabetes, and the delivery of care and services provided by the diabetes care team.
Written jointly by psychologists active in diabetes research and practising clinicians, Psychology in Diabetes Care, Second Edition provides a practical evidence-based approach to intervention in diabetes care.

It is generally acknowledged that psychosocial issues play a key role in the management of diabetes, in both children and adults. Diabetes has a major impact on the psychological well–being of those living with the disease and there is growing evidence that psychological problems are prevalent in people with diabetes. Psychosocial care aimed at the prevention and treatment of emotional and behavioural problems is therefore warranted, particularly as diabetes is largely managed by the patients themselves. Clinical outcomes are thus highly dependent on the motivation and daily efforts of the people with diabetes and their families. 

Understanding psychosocial problems and barriers in diabetes can enable health care professionals to assist their patients more effectively. This second edition of Psychology in diabetes care provides background information and practical guidelines, addressing the specific cognitive, emotional and behavioural issues related to the (self–)management of diabetes. All the original material has been updated and it contains new chapters on self–management education, psychological assessment and screening, and group interventions.  In addition, all chapters feature a Practice Implications section to enhance the practical utility of the book.

This text:

• provides a broad and evidence–based perspective on the psychological implications of diabetes in different age groups
• includes contributions on key issues in clinical diabetes
• combines a theoretical and practice–oriented approach to psychological care for people with diabetes

Psychology in Diabetes Care offers a comprehensive summary of current psychological knowledge as it relates to diabetes care, invaluable for professionals, such as physicians, nurse specialists and health psychologists, as well as students and academics with an interest in diabetes.
