Co-creating community support strategies for chronic disease management
Social support plays an important role in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), yet health promotion strategies often focus on individual behavior change while overlooking community structures that sustain supportive environments and facilitate adherence to healthy behaviors. Participatory approaches can help identify locally grounded strategies to strengthen community support networks for chronic disease management. This study aimed to co-cr…
Untangling the role of social support in type 2 diabetes
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) requires sustained behavioral changes to achieve glycemic control (GC) and prevent complications. Social support (SS) is key for self-care in chronic conditions, yet its impact on GC in low-resource settings remains understudied. This study explores the role of SS in T2DM management in a low-income community in Quito, Ecuador. Methods: We employed a mixed-methods approach with a parallel convergent design. A r…
Fortaleciendo Redes Comunitarias Para El Manejo De La Diabetes
Addressing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus ́ Impact on Quality of Life When Life Is Defined by a Low-Income Setting
Characteristics associated with optimal blood sugar in individuals living with type 2 diabetes in hard-to-reach rural communities
The intricate interplay of factors influencing diabetes management and optimal blood sugar suggests that targeted, context-specific and gender-sensitive public health strategies may be needed to address diabetes disparities in vulnerable populations
Social Determinants as Mediators of the Emotional State of People With Type 2 Diabetes and/or Hypertension During the Covid‐19 Pandemic in Ecuador and Spain
INTRODUCTION: We aimed to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting restrictions on the emotional state of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and/or hypertension in Ecuador and Spain. Given the differences in sociopolitical and socioeconomic contexts between these two countries, the research focused on how these diverse environments and their management of social policies and pandemic strategies influenced the emotion…
Hard-to-reach communities in the rural Ecuador
Access to health services for chronic disease care during the Covid-19 pandemic in Ecuador
This qualitative study aims to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted healthcare access for patients with chronic conditions in Ecuador from the patient's perspective. We interviewed 19 patients diagnosed with arterial hypertension or type 2 diabetes in rural and urban areas of Ecuador during August and September 2020. We used the Framework Method to analyse the interview transcripts with ATLAS.Ti 8.4 and organised the ideas discussed using c…
Prevalence and gender disparities of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity in Esmeraldas, Ecuador
We found alarming differences between the prevalence of T2DM and obesity in women and men that may be explained by gender roles, exacerbated in the rural context. Health promotion measures with a gender perspective should be adapted according to the characteristics of isolated rural contexts
Contextualizing Evidence for Action on Diabetes in Low-Resource Settings—Project Cead Part-II, Strengthening the Health System
Diabetes is a major public health problem, increasingly affecting low- and middle-income countries. The project CEAD (Contextualizing Evidence for Action in Diabetes in low-resource settings) aims to evaluate the implementation of comprehensive diabetes care in two low-resource settings in Ecuador and to stimulate context-led health systems innovations to improve diabetes care and reduce inequity. The mixed-methods approach includes a 24-month re…
