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included the scales themselves but this book includes copies of scales and a wealth of additional information from unpublished theses, reports and recent manuscripts.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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most Americans, staying "mentally sharp" as they age is a very high priority. Declines in memory and decision-making abilities may trigger fears of Alzheimer's disease or other neurodegenerative diseases. However, cognitive aging is a natural process that can have both positive and negative effects on cognitive function in older adults - effects that vary widely among individuals. At this point in time, when the older population is rapidly growing in the United States and across the globe, it is important to examine what is known about cognitive aging and to identify and promote actions that individuals, organizations, communities, and society can take to help older adults maintain and improve their cognitive health. Cognitive Aging assesses the public health dimensions of cognitive aging with an emphasis on definitions and terminology, epidemiology and surveillance, prevention and intervention, education of health professionals, and public awareness and education. This report makes specific recommendations for individuals to reduce the risks of cognitive decline with aging. Aging is inevitable, but there are actions that can be taken by individuals, families, communities, and society that may help to prevent or ameliorate the impact of aging on the brain, understand more about its impact, and help older adults live more fully and independent lives. Cognitive aging is not just an individual or a family or a health care system challenge. It is an issue that affects the fabric of society and requires actions by many and varied stakeholders. Cognitive Aging offers clear steps that individuals, families, communities, health care providers and systems, financial organizations, community groups, public health agencies, and others can take to promote cognitive health and to help older adults live fuller and more independent lives. Ultimately, this report calls for a societal commitment to cognitive aging as a public health issue that requires prompt action across many sectors.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian Americans are at increased risk for diabetes and poor health outcomes compared to the general population. Although the Asian American population is increasing four times faster than the general population, diabetes research remains limited. Diabetes research in Asian populations address the more populous groups such as Chinese, Japanese, and South Asians; the less known ethnic groups of Southeast Asians are often overlooked or clumped together despite differences in health beliefs, health literacy, and access to healthcare. The aim of this study is to describe the diabetes self care behaviors and health perception of Iu Mien older adults. A descriptive research methodology using qualitative content analysis was used to describe and categorize data from n=5 participants. Findings revealed themes of cultural barriers in the form of language, knowledge gaps, and attitudes towards Western medicine influence Iu Mien experiences with diabetes and the healthcare system. Family support was found to be a critical component of diabetes management. These findings increase the understanding of effective diabetes management in this population.

Download or read book Assessing the Social Network Characteristics and Diabetes Self care of Older Adults written by Monica Williams and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic disease including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are responsible for most of the deaths in the United States. Over 25 percent of adults (65 years of age and older) have diabetes. Medication adherence and controlling blood glucose are central to diabetes management. Non-adherence to recommended therapies contributes to adverse health outcomes, complications, and death in older adults with diabetes. Among older adults with diabetes, a highly functional social network is associated with their increased health-promoting self-management behavior. Strong social support is a positive predictor of medication adherence. Guided by the Social Cognitive Theory, this study aimed to determine whether personal factors and social network characteristics as, environmental factors predict diabetes self-care in adults 55 years and older. This cross-sectional study collected and analyzed quantitative survey, and qualitative interview, data using a non-experimental approach. A convenience sample of 129 older adults with diabetes from 10 of the 12 states in the Mid-West Region of the United States was identified through the Qualtrics recruitment platform to participate in this study. Participants were asked to provide information related to their socio-demographic characteristics, including their diabetes diagnosis, reported health status, other diabetes-related conditions, and diabetes control. Participants were also required to provide information on their diabetes self-care, and their interaction with individuals in their Ego social networks. Most of the participants were female (51.9%), White (93.6%), diagnosed with diabetes for more than three years, and reported other diabetes-related health conditions (80.6%). A sub-sample of self-selected participants completed an interview to determine how the individual with the strongest tie in their social network influenced their diabetes self-care. Based on the statistical analyses, including regression analyses, diabetes control and reported health status were statistically significant predictors of older adults' diabetes self-care. Social network composition (specifically, the Dietician and Caregiver) and the importance of communication between older adults and individuals in their social network were also found to be statistically significant predictors of their diabetes self-care. The qualitative analysis found that most individuals who represent the strongest ties, and the weakest ties, in the social networks of older adults encouraged or promoted their diabetes self-care practices. Also, for the majority of older adults, their diabetes self-care practices positively affected their relationships with the individuals in their social network. Results of this study indicate that based on the constructs of the Social Cognitive Theory, improving personal factors such as supporting older adults' diabetes control, and their health status could lead to improved diabetes self-care. Additionally, adjusting for adjusting the environmental factors by providing access to healthcare practitioners such as Dieticians, and to Caregivers in older adults' social networks, and communication with social network members might improve their diabetes self-care. The theoretical implication for health education includes encouraging positive health behavior through the modifiable personal and environmental factors that influence older adults' performance of daily diabetes self-care regimens. Additionally, expanded opportunities for social interaction of older adults in health education programs could lead to positive health outcomes in older adults.
