MARQUEZ CARRILLO, Lizeth Carolina et al. Quality of Life, Anxiety, Depression, and Alcohol Consumption in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Acta de investigación psicol [online]. 2022, vol.12, n.3, pp.58-70.  Epub June 26, 2023. ISSN 2007-4719.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fpsi.20074719e.2022.3.466.

The aim of this study was to relate quality of life, alcohol consumption, depression, and anxiety in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) during the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey was applied to a total of 119 patients with T2D selected by non-probability purposive sampling from the central part of the country, with at least one year of diagnosis. The diabetes-39 quality of life scale, the Zung Depression Self-Assessment Scale, the Hamilton Anxiety Scale and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test were used. The findings are positive correlations between concern for diminished quality of life in all areas with anxiety. As well as risk consumption in men and quality of life, indicating higher alcohol consumption in this population. These results indicate that having type 2 diabetes is a predisposing factor for presenting mental health problems such as anxiety, depression and alcohol consumption, which points to the importance of working with this population in the post-pandemic period.
