Abstract

Family support in the treatment of diabetes has a substantial impact on the benefit of the health and quality of life of the patient, in this sense the article aims to determine the relationship between family support and quality of life perceived by the patient with Diabetes Mellitus type 2, in times of Covid-19, from the Chicama-Peru Level-I Primary Care Center. The study used the hypothetical-deductive method, a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental, descriptive-correlational cross-sectional design. It included 106 patients diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus of both sexes from the Chronic Noncommunicable Disease program. Two questionnaires were applied, one on family support and the other on quality of life and its dimensions. The results allowed us to demonstrate that family support (59.76%), physical dimension (53.66%) and social dimension (52.44%) were regularly perceived; Likewise, it is evident that the quality of life (62.20%), satisfaction dimension (74.39%), impact dimension (52.44%) and concern dimension (46.34%) are classified as good.
