poor social support perceptions have lower levels of wellbeing and coping than patients with
good social support was the goal of this study both public and private facilities participated in
a cross-sectional study to 401 participants, administered, the results show that social support
and coping are negatively correlated, which implies that a rise in social support is linked to a
fall in emotional distress .

was a narrative review, and databases and academic search engines were used to find the
pertinent papers of cross-sectional, cohort, clinical trial, and systematic review designs
concluded that that diabetes patients' levels of social support and self-care were not good. The
research papers we looked at all demonstrated a favourable correlation between self-care
behaviour and social support.
