Hello everyone!
I am a student from University of Nottingham, UK, and I am conducting a research on one of my biggest fields of interest : diabetes. In 2006 I spent a year working in Canada in a diabetes health education team, within a diabetes care unit in one of the main hospitals. I loved my work, found it very rewarding and saw the benefits of knowledge sharing and information giving when it comes to diabetes management. I was also very touched by every person’s story and observed just how important it was for everyone to meet other people going through the same challenges, exchanging thoughts and feelings about it, and helping each other find solutions.
This led me to become very interested in the role of social support in disease management. This research I am leading now as part of my MSc in Health Promotion and Psychology is about the importance and the influence that online social support can have on diabetes management. I have designed a survey and the Internet link to it is the following:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=2 ... 3Rqg_3d_3d
Please feel free to check it out and ask me any questions that may arise, I would be glad to answer them!
And please feel free to pass on this link to any person who suffers from diabetes and who participates in online support groups! I would be very grateful.
