We aimed to establish the effect of the type of diabetes, coping strategies, sex and optimism variables on social networks and perceived social support in patients with diabetes. A sample of 103 males and 197 females, divided into a Type 1 Diabetes group with a mean age of 29 years and a Type 2 Diabetes group with a mean age of 57 years, participated in a transactional design - causal field. A path analysis was run to verify assumed relations. The type of diabetes was found not to affect the perceived social support. Sex did not have a direct influence, although it had through relations mediated by optimism and coping skills variables. These last two determined the social support of the subjects, reason why we recommend building and applying clinical intervention programs teaching people with diabetes the necessary approximation skills.
Se desea conocer el efecto del tipo de diabetes, las estrategias de afrontamiento, el sexo, y el optimismo sobre las redes sociales y el apoyo social percibido por sujetos con diabetes. Participaron 103 hombres y 197 mujeres divididos en diabéticos tipo 1 con edad promedio de 29 años y tipo 2 con edad promedio de 57 años, en un diseño transeccional-causal de campo. Se empleó un análisis de ruta para verificar las relaciones planteadas. Se encontró que el tipo de diabetes no afecta el apoyo social percibido. Tampoco la variable sexo influye directamente sobre el apoyo social, pero si a través de relaciones mediadas por el optimismo y las estrategias de afrontamiento; destacando que son éstas últimas las que determinan el apoyo social de los sujetos, por lo que se recomiendaconstruir y aplicar programas de intervención clínica para enseñar a las personas con diabetes estrategias de aproximación al problema.
