"Adding PS to the ABCss of Diabetes Care – An Australian Perspective"Dr. Pat Phillips (biography)
English - 2006-12-07 - 29 minutes
|
 | (35 slides) |
Summary :
In this presentation, Dr. Phillips talks about the importance of adding psychosocial (PS) issues to the "ABCss" of diabetes care or working to achieve the targets for A1c, blood pressure, cholesterol, salicylate use and smoking cessation.
Psychosocial issues can impact on diabetes control/care and vice versa. In addition, depression has been found to be an independent risk factor for clinical coronary heart disease and its prognosis (1).
Findings from the Diabetes Attitudes Wishes and Needs (DAWN) Study (2004) indicated that doctors are aware of the importance of psychosocial issues in diabetic patients and assess them fairly frequently, however they are less confident in their capacity to support them.
From an Australian perspective, the 2006/2007 Diabetes Management in General Practice Guidelines illustrate how psychosocial issues can be added to the ABCss of diabetes care. Dr. Phillips talks about the annual cycle of care, and use of the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale.
