The Family Type and Correct Family Attitude of Pregnant Diabetes Women / 임상당뇨병

ABSTRACT

What this social worker learned from more than a decade of training and counseling on anxiety, depression, and stress factors felt by pregnant women diagnosed with diabetes was that diabetes itself had a large impact on families as well, so the impact of diabetes could be classified as a "family disease," whether positive or negative. While training at the site (hospital), most of the time, rather than receiving direct questions from mothers or their families, social workers were told about the difficulties that mothers reported, which included that many people wanted to educate their families about their disease. In fact, most mothers who participated in education had big and small difficulties in these areas. Therefore, we learned that effective diabetes management requires active family cooperation and that positive interactions between pregnant women and their families are necessary.
