Abstract

Background: Psychological response is one of the group symptoms that is crucial to control to achieve positive coping mechanisms. Some patients adequately manage the problem; on the other hand, others appear unable to handle anxieties, fear, and depression. Understanding the psychological responses like anxiety is essential to prevent the next severe problem so that the nurse can determine the appropriate nursing care. This study purposes of exploring the diabetic patients’ experiences of psychological responses in community life.

Methodology: A qualitative approach was applied to investigate the participants’ perception and explore the lived experiences of patients with Diabetes. First, we identified the 63 participants’ perceptions and then continued in-depth interviews for ten patients who had a negative perception. Finally, the information then analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis.

Result: The study found that 84% of participants had positive illness perception, and 16% showed negative perception toward Diabetes. Three main themes emerged from the information: the boring experience, making sense of anxiety, the need for support.

Conclusion: Psychosocial distress was likely among patients with Diabetes in community life. The chronic condition of the disease makes the patient discouraged and requires support from the surrounding environment.
