Background summary
Patients with diabetes need self management skills to be able to adequately
deal with their diabetes and its treatment. However, patients may put in a
great deal of effort to maintain self-management but experience few benefits
and little control, while they are aware of the imminence of complications.
This may lead to a so called 'diabetes burnout'. These feelings of frustration
and powerlessness combined with the feeling that self-management requires too
much effort, can result in a neglect of self-care and in poorer glycaemic
control. Within regular care for diabetes patients there is too little
attention for diabetes burnout.
In the proposed study, a cognitive behavioral intervention combined with
mindfulness will be developed to treat patients with diabetes burnout.
