Abstract:
The aim of the study was to determine how patients' experiences in receiving family support for type-2 diabetes mellitus. We conducted scoping review using the Joanna briggs institute guidelines and Levac, Colquhoun and O'Brien. Five electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, ProQuest and Sage Pub were systematically searched by keywords for literature published between 2013 to 2023. Ten articles were used to final review. Analysis revealed that family support is an important factor to improve diabetes self-management behaviour for patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus. The availability of family support primarily comes from their spouses and children. Some obstacles, such as the emotional distance between patients and their families, can be overcome by improving shared knowledge and skills in self-management. Family support also has a positive impact on behavioural control and health outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
