Summary: The study found that spiritual well-being is associated with quality of life, anxiety, and depression in patients with gynaecological cancer. Patients with higher spiritual well-being tend to have better quality of life, lower anxiety, and depression. Providing more spiritual care, especially in combination with psychological counseling, can help improve the quality of life, alleviate symptoms, and reduce anxiety and depression for patients with gynaecological cancer.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of instruments assessing the division of care responsibilities between parents and children with type 1 diabetes. Thirteen questionnaires were identified, with the Diabetes Family Responsibility Questionnaire (DFRQ) being the most frequently used. However, there were variations in instructions, content and number of tasks, response options, and scoring methods among the questionnaires. Overall, the reporting and quality of psychometric properties were suboptimal.

Summary: A systematic review found a positive association between high levels of trait anger/hostility and an increased risk of incident type 2 diabetes. However, there is insufficient evidence to confirm the association between anger/hostility and diabetes-related complications. Further longitudinal studies are needed to investigate this relationship.

Summary: Hypoglycemia has a negative impact on various domains of quality of life for adults with type 1 diabetes, including leisure activities, physical health, ability to keep fit and be active, sleep, emotional well-being, spontaneity, independence, work/studies, and dietary freedom. Psychological factors play a larger role in explaining this negative impact than hypoglycemia frequency and awareness.

Summary: In this observational study, the researchers investigated the association between psychological stressors (diabetes distress, depressive symptoms) and glycaemic parameters (hypo- and hyperglycaemic exposure, glycaemic variability and HbA(1c)) with reduced heart rate variability (HRV) in people with type 1 diabetes. The results showed that participants with elevated diabetes distress had significantly lower HRV, while elevated depressive symptoms were not significantly associated with HRV. Higher daily exposure to hyperglycaemia, higher average exposure to hypoglycaemia, and higher HbA(1c) were associated with reduced HRV.

Summary: This study assessed the proportion of diabetes educational program participation among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Norway, and its associations with place of residence, education, and immigrant background. The results showed that overall participation rate was 18%, with variations among different Norwegian counties. Individuals with immigrant background and lower education level were less likely to participate. Therefore, more efforts are needed to promote diabetes educational programs among patients with T2DM.

Summary: This study aims to summarize and assess the effectiveness of educational and/or behavioural interventions in reducing fear of hypoglycaemia among adults with type 1 diabetes. Systematic searches were conducted and data were synthesized using meta-analyses and narrative synthesis. The results suggest that these interventions can reduce fear of hypoglycaemia, but there is a lack of research on individuals with high fear of hypoglycaemia.

Summary: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are important for shared decision making and research, but there is a lack of consensus on which PROs and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to use in diabetes. This narrative review provides recommendations for relevant PROs to measure, such as disease-specific symptoms and general symptoms, and suggests the use of generic PROMs supplemented with disease-specific PROMs. However, further validation studies are needed for diabetes-specific PROMs. Standardization and use of psychometrically sound PROMs can improve healthcare for people with diabetes.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether caregiver responses to the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) can predict HbA1c trajectory membership in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The results showed that higher SDQ total difficulties scores and specific subscale scores were associated with different types of HbA1c trajectories. Additionally, single-parent family and low caregiver education level were also found to be associated with HbA1c trajectories.

Summary: Diabetic foot ulceration is a common and recurrent condition that negatively affects individuals' quality of life. Adhering to foot self-care recommendations is crucial for DFU prevention, and psychological factors such as depression can hinder treatment and ulcer healing. However, the role of psychological and social factors in DFU management is still limited. This narrative overview suggests that a stronger focus on psychological factors could improve care for high-risk DFU patients.
