Although numerous studies examine diabetes self-care, few regard ecological framework correlates such as community and institutional level factors as fundamental for understanding diabetes management for Latinos. This article addresses the dearth of research that exists regarding social contextual forces and diabetes management for Latinos. Given the scarcity of research on this topic, studies of non-Latino groups were reviewed to illustrate the importance of community and institutional influences on diabetes care. Consideration of fundamental correlates within the ecological framework may better discern the underlying rationale for inadequate diabetes self-management for individuals who live in impoverished communities.
尽管有大量研究探讨糖尿病自我管理，但很少有研究将社区和机构层面因素等生态框架相关因素视为理解拉丁裔糖尿病管理的基础。本文探讨了关于拉丁裔社会背景力量与糖尿病管理方面研究的匮乏。鉴于该主题研究稀缺，我们回顾了非拉丁裔群体的研究，以说明社区和机构影响对糖尿病护理的重要性。考虑生态框架内的基本相关因素，可能会更好地洞察生活在贫困社区的个体糖尿病自我管理不足的潜在原因。
