Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook fulfils a pressing need within the area of psychological measurement in diabetes research and practice by providing access to material which has either been widely dispersed through the psychological and medical literature or has not previously been published. Journal articles describing the psychometric development of scales have rarely included the scales themselves but this book includes copies of scales and a wealth of additional information from unpublished theses, reports and recent manuscripts. You will find information about the reliability, validity, scoring, norms, and use of the measures in previous research presented in one volume. The Handbook is designed to help researchers and clinicians: - To select scales suitable for their purposes - To administer and score the scales correctly - To interpret the results appropriately. Dr. Clare Bradley is Reader in Health Psychology and Director of the Diabetes Research Group at Royal Holloway, University of London. Dr. Bradley and her research group have designed, developed and used a wide variety of measures of psychological processes and outcomes. Many of these measures have been designed and developed specifically for people with diabetes. Together with diabetes-specific psychological measures developed by other researchers internationally, these instruments have played an important part in facilitating patient-centred approaches to diabetes research and clinical practice.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Caucasians and African-Americans with type 2 diabetes continue to experience preventable diabetes-related life-threatening complications despite medical advances and health care availability. African-Americans are more likely to suffer from diabetes-related complications and experience a higher diabetes-related mortality rate than Caucasians. There is a definite need to better understand the relationship of psychosocial variables to diabetes control in these two racial groups. The purpose of this two-group, comparative, descriptive study was to examine the relationships of social support, self-efficacy, and outcome expectations (beliefs that diabetes-related behaviors will lead to certain outcomes) to self-care behaviors and glycemic control in Caucasian and African-American adults with type 2 diabetes. A convenience sample of 91 Caucasian and African-American subjects receiving health care at three outpatient facilities participated in the study. All subjects completed four self-report measures: Social Support Questionnaire, Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, Outcome Expectancy Questionnaire, and the Diabetes Activities Questionnaire at the time of the outpatient visit. Long-term glycemic control was assessed by glycosylated hemoglobin analyses at the time of the outpatient visit. Two-sample t-tests revealed no significant differences between the two racial groups in regards to age (p = .81), duration of diabetes (p = .69), and glycosylated hemoglobin (p = .85). Chi-square analyses revealed two significant differences between the two racial groups with regard to sex (p = .04) and marital status (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principles and Concepts of Behavioral Medicine A Global Handbook Edwin B. Fisher, Linda D. Cameron, Alan J. Christensen, Ulrike Ehlert, Brian Oldenburg, Frank J. Snoek and Yan Guo This definitive handbook brings together an international array of experts to present the broad, cells-to-society perspectives of behavioral medicine that complement conventional models of health, health care, and prevention. In addition to applications to assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and management, contributors offer innovative prevention and health promotion strategies informed by current knowledge of the mechanisms and pathways of behavior change. Its range of conceptual and practical topics illustrates the central role of behavior in health at the individual, family, community, and population levels, and its increasing importance to person-centered care. The broad perspectives on risk (e.g., stress, lifestyle), management issues (e.g., adherence, social support), and overarching concerns (e.g., inequities, health policy) makes this reference uniquely global as it addresses the following core areas: · The range of relationships and pathways between behavior and health. · Knowing in behavioral medicine; epistemic foundations. · Key influences on behavior and the relationships among behavior, health, and illness. · Approaches to changing behavior related to health. · Key areas of application in prevention and disease management. · Interventions to improve quality of life. · The contexts of behavioral medicine science and practice. Principles and Concepts of Behavioral Medicine opens out the contemporary world of behavior and health to enhance the work of behavioral medicine specialists, health psychologists, public health professionals and policymakers, as well as physicians, nurses, social workers and those in many other fields of health practice around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Background: Diabetes is a severe chronic metabolic disorder. Adults with diabetes are more likely to have comorbid major depressive disorder (MDD) or generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) relative to the general population. Diabetes, MDD, and GAD are each related to increased functional disability, and may be particularly detrimental to functioning when individuals present with comorbidities. Social support has been proposed to buffer against the detrimental effects of both diabetes and these mental disorders on functioning. However, perceived social support has not been examined as a moderator of the relation between MDD and GAD and functional disability in adults with diabetes. Additionally, there is a dearth of studies examining longitudinal patterns of perceived social support in community-based sample of adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D).Aims: The aims of this thesis are: 1) to examine whether social support moderates the association between MDD, GAD, and functional disability in adults with diabetes; 2) to identify temporal trajectories of perceived social support in adults with T2D; and 3) to examine differences in depressive symptoms and functional disability across different social support trajectories. Methods: This thesis includes two manuscripts. The first study used data from the cross-sectional 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey-Mental Health. The sample was restricted to adult participants with diabetes (n=1,764). Separate linear regression analyses were conducted to examine perceived social support as a moderator of the association between MDD or GAD and functional disability. Models were adjusted for demographic characteristics. The second study used data from the longitudinal Evaluation of Diabetes Treatment study, a community-based survey of insulin-naïve adults with type 2 diabetes in Quebec. Latent class growth model analyses were conducted for all participants who completed at least 2 of 5 annual waves of assessment (n=1,077). Having identified distinct groups based on latent trajectories of perceived social support, separate analysis of variance models were then conducted to examine mean differences in levels of depressive symptoms and functional disability, respectively, across social support trajectory groups. Separate models were conducted for depressive symptoms and functional disability, adjusting for demographic and diabetes-related covariates, and baseline depressive symptoms and functional disability, respectively. Results: The first manuscript indicated that MDD, GAD, and perceived social support were each related to functional disability, such that adults with a mental disorder reported higher functional disability compared to those without a mental disorder. Participants with low perceived social support also showed higher functional disability relative to those with high social support. However, social support did not moderate the relation between mental disorders and functional disability. The second manuscript first identified four distinct groups based on latent trajectory of social support. However, each trajectory remained relatively stable over time. Moreover, there was a negative linear trend between social support and both depressive symptoms and functional disability, respectively. Specifically, as social support decreased, depressive symptoms and functional disability both increased.Conclusions: The findings of these two manuscripts indicate that cross-sectional and longitudinal assessments of perceived social support are negatively related to depression and functional disability in adults with diabetes. Health care providers may assess perceived social support when treating adults with diabetes, particularly those with comorbid MDD or GAD. Targeting and intervening in cases of low social support may be particularly important, in order to prevent the deterioration of functioning." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an up-to-date review of behavioral factors in diabetes management across the lifespan: an update on medical management, epidemiology, and prognosis, and utilize an ecological framework to address various aspects of diabetes management for children and adults on the individual, social, community and medical system, and policy levels. The individual level examines biobehavioral and neuroendocrine factors for their role in the etiology of diabetes, as well as various demographic factors involved in health disparities, and specific psychological issues including distress and quality of life, depression and anxiety, eating disorders, and intervention approaches. Zooming out, the social level addresses the role of social support and family influences as well as group and family interventions to promote more effective diabetes management. The community level addresses medical system factors including the patient-physician relationship and transition programs, as well as community and school-based prevention programs. Finally, chapters also address how the policy level impacts diabetes management considering the role of health care, insurance, and school and workplace policy. Topics featured in this book include: Neuroendocrine and biobehavioral influences on diabetes Eating disorders in individuals with diabetes Family influences and family therapies for children and adults with diabetes Depression and anxiety in children and adults with diabetes Behavioral Diabetes is a must-have resource for researchers, graduate students and fellows, as well as clinicians, therapists, and other practitioners involved in diabetes management across the lifespan. A secondary audience comprises individuals working in the community and policy levels, including but not limited to health care and medical systems administrators, as well as school and workplace policymakers. “This book is a comprehensive overview of the extremely important topic of behavioral diabetes. The issues encompassed in this book have evolved greatly over the last few decades and the editors have done a spectacular job in having the key experts on each of the many topics review the literature while at the same time keeping it practical for both clinicians and researchers.” --Irl B.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease that can be maintained with adjustments in lifestyle and medical intervention that has been proven to minimize complications that occur over time if the disease is not controlled. The benchmark of determining diabetic status is maintenance of glycemic control, which frequently involves radical lifestyle changes, medication management, and stress reduction. Incidence of Type 2 diabetes in underserved minority populations is increasing rapidly; subsequently, those lacking financial resources, medical insurance coverage, education, and family support have even lower rates of glycemic control. Psychological, social, and physical stressors contribute negatively to treatment adherence and overall disease outcome. Uninsured/underinsured minorities have more difficulty achieving and maintaining glycemic control and therefore have poorer overall diabetes outcomes when compared with diabetics who have adequate resources. In order to improve long-term treatment prognosis in this population, current methods of assessing psychosocial factors should be tailored to meet the special needs of this population. The purpose of the current study aimed to investigate the relationship between control of Type 2 diabetes and psychosocial factors in a group of uninsured/underinsured diabetic individuals receiving care at an urban public hospital. Medical records, demographic data, and information obtained from self-report instruments were collected at initial outpatient visits. The current study involved analysis of three self-report instruments designed to measure emotional, psychiatric, and general difficulties involved in maintaining the recommended diabetic lifestyle. From the 62 participants who met the inclusion criteria, completed the questionnaires and self-reports instruments, a total of 50 participants were randomly assigned to either a control or experimental group. These 50 participants were assigned to either a single session of Motivational Interviewing (MI) or psychiatric intake interview/treatment as usual (TAU) in order to determine the effect of brief MI on glycemic control and readiness to change health related behaviors. Information gathered from the remaining 12 participants was included in all but the MI/TAU data analyses. All participants completed questionnaires and self-report instruments of the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID), Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), Stages of Change (SOC), and Diabetes Knowledge Test (DKT). Data was examined using regression and correlation models to investigate the predictive value of psychosocial factors on glycemic control. Results of this study did not successfully demonstrate a significant relationship between glycemic control (HbAlc) emotional stress; psychiatric symptoms and general problems related to diabetes in the population sampled nor did they illustrate a significant relationship between glycemic control and readiness to change health related behaviors or additional variables such as employment status, and activity level. Cultural factors affecting the current findings are discussed along with the importance of exploring ethnic variables related to lifestyle changes and limitations of current treatment protocols. Recommendations for future research including underserved minority populations are addressed.
