Abstract
Objective: To compare the level of Adaptation of the Self-Concept (ASC) in persons suffering from Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DT2) in two locations at a first level unit. Methodology: This is a descriptive, correlational, comparative, and transversal research with a sample by convenience of adults with DT2 attending to a monthly control, and to a Mutual Support Group MSG, both in a first level unit. The general data register and the Viveros03 instrument (α=.85) were used. Anthropometric and capillary glycemic level assessments were performed. Data were analyzed through SPSS v.20. The hypothesis was verified using Shapiro-Wilk, T-student and Chi square tests.
Results: There were 50 participants, the 25 in the MSG were assigned to group A, while the other 25 constituted the ambulatory and group B. ASC in group A was 60% while 68% in group B; the difference was significant at p = 0.002. Contextual stimuli such as capillary glycemic level, and years of diagnosis and treatment did not show dependence (p>.05) contrary to family diabetes background, and belonging to the MSG, which did show an association (p=.05).
Conclusion: ASC was better among those in the MSG, while family background promoted a better adaptation as well.
