Abstract in English
This study tries to show the areas of psychological pressures facing people with diabetes and identify strategies of coping with related stress, depending on the style and depending on the sex of the patient. The study is conducted on a sample of 345 patients 95 of whom are first type diabetes and 250 are diabetes type II. To identify psychological pressure, the researcher designed a questionnaire, and she also designed another one to identify strategies of coping with stress. Results show that people with diabetes are under pressure regarding the treatment first, then physical pressure, followed by psychological pressure then followed by family pressure, and finally social pressures. Results also show that strategies used by diabetes type 1 are negative strategies, while type II diabetes are positive strategies.
