Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate the health expectations (HEs) in patients with diabetes and the factors affecting it using an integrative systematic review.
Methods
A comprehensive literature search was conducted in databases including PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar, ProQuest, CINAHL, SID, Iran Doc, and Magiran without time limitation using related keywords. The systematic literature search was performed using a guide provided by York University.
Results
From a total of 1883 articles, 17 of them finally met the eligibility criteria. According to the findings of this study, HE of diabetic patients was included in four categories: “dynamism,” “consequentialism,” “comprehensive care,” and “access to facilities.” Also, these expectations can be influenced by various factors, including “developments in societies,” “changing the conditions of health care systems,” and “individual factors.”
Conclusions
Health professionals should pay attention to the expectations of diabetic patients who are involved in complex disease conditions and consider meeting them as a key factor in providing patient-centered care, improving health outcomes, and patient satisfaction.
