Type 2 diabetes is a common chronic disease in middle-aged and older women. The social network, although an important source of support, can place conflicting demands on women who cope with a chronic disorder. Because this paradoxical situation can be a burden for many women a model was constructed to systematically investigate social network demands in women's Type 2 diabetes. In developing the model, network theory provided the framework and an extensive literature review determined which network components should be included. Material from our individual and focus group interviews was used to clarify the model. Traditional gender roles in the home, obligation profiles at the workplace, cultural expectations on women's bodies, and prejudice about the psychological etiology of women's diseases in health care, could all contribute to women's experiencing role conflict in their daily diabetes management. To systematically investigate potential deterrents to women's self-care, questions that address the different components of women's social networks are proposed.
2型糖尿病是中老年女性中常见的慢性疾病。社交网络虽然是重要的支持来源，但也可能给应对慢性疾病的女性带来相互冲突的要求。由于这种矛盾的情况可能成为许多女性的负担，因此构建了一个模型来系统地研究女性2型糖尿病患者的社交网络需求。在构建该模型时，网络理论提供了框架，广泛的文献综述确定了应纳入哪些网络组件。我们通过个人访谈和焦点小组访谈获得的材料用于完善该模型。家庭中的传统性别角色、工作场所的义务状况、对女性身体的文化期望以及医疗保健中对女性疾病心理病因的偏见，都可能导致女性在日常糖尿病管理中经历角色冲突。为了系统地研究阻碍女性自我护理的潜在因素，我们提出了针对女性社交网络不同组件的问题。
