Background and Purpose: Social support is linked to improved glycemic control and psychosocial well-being of patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The purpose was to critically evaluate the psychometric properties of social support measures used in this population. Method: A systematic review of measures of social support was performed using 5 databases. Two hundred and fifty-six studies were initially retrieved, and 48 studies met the inclusion criteria for review. Results: The majority used general measures of perceived social support. Only 17% measured positive and negative social support; 92% used a single measure of social support. The Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS) was used in 25% of the studies. Conclusions: Using a combination of social support measures and further evaluation of their psychometric properties in this population is recommended.

Objetivo Describir el apoyo social percibido por adultos con enfermedad diabética que asisten a instituciones prestadoras de servicios de salud del primer nivel de atención en la ciudad de Cúcuta. Metodología Estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, exploratorio y transversal. La muestra estuvo constituida por 346 pacientes con diabetes tipo 2 que asistían a consulta o control y a quienes se les aplicó el cuestionario Medical outcomes study- social support survey (MOS-SSS), que permite conocer la red familiar y extra familiar y medir las cuatro dimensiones del apoyo social. Resultados El 71,09% de los pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 poseía un tamaño de red media, conformado entre 2 y 5 personas. Los participantes percibieron un alto apoyo de tipo emocional en un 65,6%, instrumental (78,3%), afectivo (75.2%) e interacción social positiva (65,2%). Conclusión El 75,5% de los pacientes consideraron como alto el apoyo social recibido en sus diversos componentes. Estos tipos de apoyo permiten fortalecer la relación del paciente, su familia o cuidadores y los profesionales de la salud, ofreciendo espacios para mejorar y f tar acciones de cuidado, información y educación sobre la enfermedad y su manejo.

Perceived social support is considered to be a variable of great importance in the health – disease continuum. Perceived social support refers to one’s confidence that social support or resources are available if needed. The objectives of this research study were to (1) translate and culturally adapt the Medical Outcomes Study – Social Support Survey (MOS; Sherbourne y Stewart, 1991) for the Colombian population, and (2) validate the Colombian version of the MOS. The survey instrument measures perceived social support and was developed for a study of outcomes in patients with chronic disease. The sample consisted of 179 participants (36.7% men and 63.3% women), mean age 38.4 (SD =15.2, range 17 to 86 years) recruited from different cities in Colombia. The results indicated a favorable Cronbach's alpha between components ranging from .921 to .736. A confirmatory analysis was conducted, obtaining a favorable structure for both 4 and 3 factors.
