Model of diabetes management: Have we got it right for South Asian people in the UK?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Article points 1. Variations in health beliefs, socio-cultural values, religious preferences, locus of control, family and their social networks influence South Asians’ diabetes management and their engagement with diabetes-related risks. 2. The aim of this study was to develop a conceptual model on risk perception among older South Asian people with type 2 diabetes in the UK. 3. As risk perception is predominantly driven by affect and the external locus of control in the South Asian people in this study, practitioners will need to be supported with the challenge of promoting the concept of empowerment and “collaborative care” to immigrant groups.
