Abstract

Patients with concurrent diabetes and cancer may have physical, psycholosical, financial and family problems. It is important to understand both the individual and family characteristics in relation to diabetes and cancer. In addition, diabetes educators must consider a variety of factors and issues. The social welfare approach to this disease-related issue aims to improve the psychosocial adjustment and quality of life of diabetes patients with cancer.
