A Pychoeducational Intervention for Women With Diabetes
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Depression, Anxiety, Anger
In brief
This proposal describes a small randomized study to determine whether usual medical care (UMC) for diabetes combined with a psychoeducational program is more effective than UMC for diabetes alone. This program differs from other diabetes programs by focusing on the management of dysphoric symptoms (depressive symptoms, anxiety, and anger). Diabetes self-care behaviors will be discussed and measured, but they are not the primary focus of the intervention. The psychoeducational program will address: 1) education about how dysphoric symptoms affect glycemic control; 2) recognition of dysphoric symptoms; and 3) management of dysphoric symptoms using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Subjects will be randomized to receive the group psychoeducational intervention or no additional treatment. All subjects will receive UMC for diabetes.
