Abstract

Yoreme Mayo women's triple burden of responsibilities, including housework, caregiving and occupation, reduce time for themselves. Having Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus represents a significant challenge for these women, and fatalistic beliefs may hinder disease control. The objective was to describe Fatalistic Beliefs and glycemic control in Yoreme Mayo women with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Northern Sinaloa. Descriptive-cross-sectional study in 127 Yoreme Mayo indigenous adult women with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, living in rural areas of the municipality of El Fuerte, Sinaloa. A sociodemographic data questionnaire, the Multidimensional Fatalism Scale, and glycemic control was determined from the HbA1c were used. The mean age was 56.5 years (SD = 8.7) and the mean number of years living in the community was 45.9 years (SD = 17.4). 63.8% reported speaking the Yorem-Noki indigenous language and 75.6% understood it. Of the women, 63.8% did not have glycemic control. In fatalistic beliefs, it was found that more than 60% of the women were in the medium and high levels. In conclusion, Yoreme Mayo women with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus presented significant levels of fatalistic beliefs and low glycemic control. It is essential to implement educational and intervention programs that not only provide information on diabetes management, but also address and challenge fatalistic beliefs, promoting greater autonomy and control over health among Yoreme Mayo women.
