LEAL RUIZ, Elizabeth; RODRIGUEZ MENDEZ, Leonardo; OTERO RAMOS, Idania y CUELLAR ALVAREZ, Jesús. Particularities of the motivational and affective functioning in prediabetic patients. Medicentro Electrónica [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.1 Epub 01-Ene-2023. ISSN 1029-3043.
Introduction:
the prevention of the progression from prediabetes to diabetes must be done from a holistic approach considering the motivational and affective functioning of the patients who suffer from this condition.
Objective:
to determine the particularities of the motivational and affective functioning of prediabetic patients.
Methods:
a descriptive exploratory study was carried out with a mixed-method research where quantitative and qualitative analyzes were integrated; the sample was made up of 10 prediabetic subjects. A psychological assessment was made based on their clinical history and the Register of the Activity. Direct and Indirect Method (RAMDI in Spanish), the Dembo-Rubinstein Scale, the Sentence Completion and the Composition Techniques, as well as the semi-structured interview were applied for screening.
Results:
the prediabetic subjects do not recognize themselves as sick, do not value the risks they incur with their condition, and do not commit to a lifestyle change.
Conclusions:
health category in prediabetic patients is not a guiding motive that guides and regulates their behaviour in a stable way; a predominance of an attitude of "non-acceptance of the disease", with a marked tendency to inadequate self-assessment that limited personal responsibility for the morbid condition.
