Abstract: (248 Views)
Introduction: Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases that requires precise and continuous management. During natural or human-made disasters, diabetes management faces multiple challenges and barriers. This narrative review aims to examine the challenges and obstacles in managing diabetes during disasters. Methods: An extensive search was conducted in reputable scientific databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. Relevant articles were selected, and their information was qualitatively analyzed and categorized. The data were presented in different classifications. Results: The challenges of managing diabetes during disasters can be divided into three main categories: physical and medical problems, psychological and social challenges, and infrastructural and managerial barriers. Physical problems include limited access to medications and medical equipment, nutritional issues, and restricted healthcare services. Psychological and social challenges include increased stress and anxiety, inability to follow regular treatment plans, and insufficient social support. Infrastructural and managerial barriers include deficiencies in healthcare infrastructure, challenges in providing financial and human resources, and lack of preparedness of healthcare systems to respond to disasters. Conclusion: Managing diabetes during disasters faces multifaceted challenges that can seriously threaten patient health. To address these challenges, it is essential to strengthen healthcare infrastructure, provide specialized training for emergency personnel, develop emergency plans, and offer psychosocial support.
