dc.description.abstractChronic diseases of lifestyle (CDLs) have been rapidly increasing in population groups which had previously been least affected by this kind of illness. Diabetes Mellitus in particular has been shown to be rapidly increasing in South Africa among the non-white population which traditionally, had low reported prevalence rates of the condition. The rapid increase in urbanisation and adoption of a western diet by the urbanised black population has been one of the main contributing factors. In contrast to this picture the socio-economic status of this population has remained relatively low and the high costs of long term management of CDLs poses a potential time bomb to the public health system. This study sought to explore the psychosocial determinants of adhering to rehabilitation for diabetic amputees.en_ZA
