The partners of patients with type 2 diabetes experience at least as much depression and anxiety as the diabetic patients themselves, especially if they are female.
Lawrence Fisher, Ph.D., at the University of California, San Francisco, in the United States, and colleagues assessed the levels of depressive affect and anxiety among partners of patients with type 2 diabetes.
They also examined independent contributors to their depression and anxiety. The researchers studied the partners of 75 Latino and 113 European-American patients with type 2 diabetes and assessed each partner’s level of depressive affect and anxiety.
They also noted their level of potential stressors from three groups: demographics, including age, gender and education; patient disease status, including time since diagnosis, HbA(1c) level, comorbidities and body mass index; and family stress, including disease impact, spouse conflict and family closeness.
