Book excerpt: To find out the factors influencing self-care behaviors of diabetic patients treated at the Diabetes Mellitus Clinic, Changhan Hospital, Roi Et Province. It was a cross-sectional study with simple random sampling among 315 samples. Data collection was in December 2009. Descriptive statistics was employed (frequency, percentage, means, standard deviation) and Chi Square test was used to find out the relationship among social-demographic characteristics, knowledge and attitude about diabetes mellitus, and self-care behaviors of diabetic patients. The result found that demographic data of majority of samples was females (72.1%), more than 60 years old (39.7%), married (73.3%), finished Prathomsuksa or lower (88.3%), agiculturers (77.1%), with household monthly income and expenses of less than 2,000 baht (56.5% and 44.8% respectively). The duration of their diabetes illness was less than 5 years (53.3%). Sixty-two point five percent of the patients had no family members with diabetes mellitus history, and 66.7% had people around them to motivate them to control diabetes. Ninety-one point one percent had information on diabetes from public health officers. It also found that knowledge had the relationship with the level of self-care behaviors of diabetic patients. In the future, there should be cooperation of people in the community for diabetes control with a promotion of knowledge and attitudes correctly.

Download or read book The Role of Mood in the Self care Activities of Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes written by Billie Michelle Brazeal and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controlling type 2 diabetes mellitus requires the individual to perform specific self-care behaviors. The current study investigated the impact of anxiety and depression on these behaviors. In addition, the study investigated the role of sociodemographic variables, sleep and pain in the performance of specific self-care behaviors. Using data collected from primary care clinics providing integrated care to individuals with type 2 diabetics, the Chi-Square Test of Independence was conducted to investigate relationships. This was followed by a series of logistic regressions to identify variables that could predict changes in self-care. Depression and anxiety was measured by scores on the PHQ-9 and GAD-7. Levels of self-care were measured by information collected from patients completing the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities. Findings from this study suggest that self-care behaviors can be influenced by numerous factors: anxiety, age, ethnicity, gender, marital status, and sleep difficulty. Both a correlation and predictive relationship between anxiety and general diet scores were found, but anxiety did not have a statistically significant impact on any other individual self-care behavior. The current study makes a meaningful contribution to the literature by examining the influence of anxiety, depression, sociodemographic factors, sleep and pain on improvements in self-care behaviors.

Download or read book The Embodiment of Type 2 Diabetes and the Influence on Self care Strategies written by Noah James Webster and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People living with diabetes must engage in a range of self-care behaviors to manage their illness in order to prevent future complications. This study examines how specific diabetes complications experienced earlier in the disease trajectory influence the performance of diabetes self-care behaviors. This study utilized a multi-method research design including secondary analysis of two years (2000 and 2007) of quantitative data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) as well as 60 semi-structured interviews with older diabetics. Results indicate that the experience of feet sores was significantly related to a greater frequency of feet checking, and having diabetes-related eye problems was related to receiving a more recent eye examination and more frequent checking of blood sugar levels. Results also indicate that the relationship between diabetes embodiment and self-care is moderated by key indicators measuring the level of medical involvement in the treatment of the illness. A time comparison of diabetes self-care behaviors between the years 2000 and 2007 indicated that four of the five diabetes self-care behaviors were engaged in more often or at a higher level in 2007 compared to 2000. Secondary analysis of 60 qualitative interviews with diabetics aged 50 and older indicated that respondents think of diabetes embodiment in similar ways as established by the biomedical model. However, additional themes arose from the data including: do not know, general damage to the body, specific body part or organ damage (other than those discussed in biomedical model), effects on normal body functioning, mental health, and positive influences. Also, some respondents made explicit connections to self-care when talking about what diabetes does to the body. The results suggest that people living with diabetes think of and make connections about their diabetes in ways not fully accounted for in the biomedical model. This study contributes to the self-care literature by being the first to test in a quantitative model the role that specific diabetes complications play in shaping self-care behavior. Contributions are also made to policy and clinical settings through informing policy makers and providers about how and why patients manage their diabetes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this descriptive study was to explore the self-care behaviors of college students with diabetes, compare their behaviors to college students without diabetes, and explore the relationship between select demographic characteristics on self-care behaviors of college students with and without diabetes. The target population was college students between the ages of 18-24 who completed the American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment II in spring, 2009. The self-care behaviors examined through an analysis of the survey data were related to food, activity, rest, and prevention of hazards to life as identified in Orem's self-care deficit theory of nursing. An ecological framework was used to describe the demographic characteristics, or basic conditioning factors, at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and community levels of influence. A total of 1216 students met the inclusion criteria for age, with 528 students reporting they had been diagnosed or treated by a professional for diabetes in the past 12 months. Approximately 63% of the total participants were female and nearly 78% were White, Non-Hispanic. The frequency of students with diabetes meeting the self-care requisites was extremely low, with less than 10% meeting the recommendations for daily fruit and vegetable intake, approximately 30% meeting the recommendations for weekly exercise, and less than 5% achieving adequate rest. Prevention of hazards to life was assessed by examining the frequency of meeting age and gender guidelines for responsible alcohol use and recommendations for weekly alcohol limitations, not smoking, not drinking and driving, and using a seatbelt. Thirty percent of the students with diabetes met the gender guidelines for responsible alcohol consumption and 46% limited their alcohol intake to no more than 1-2 times per week. Seventy percent of the students reported smoking in the previous 30 days. Eighty percent reported they did not drink and drive in the last 30 days, and 70% reported they always use a seatbelt. While students with diabetes reported better outcomes in the self-care requisites of food, activity, and rest, they more frequently engaged in risk behaviors related to alcohol, smoking and unsafe driving practices than students without diabetes. Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to examine the association of intrapersonal, interpersonal, and community levels of influence with meeting each self-care requisites. Predictors of self-care behaviors at the intrapersonal level included gender, race/ethnicity, age, grade average, stress, and health knowledge. Predictors found at the community level were status in Greek organizations, place of residence, and participation in organized athletic. Relationship status and marital status found at the interpersonal level were not found to predict the meeting of any of the self-care requisites. New knowledge on the self-care behaviors of college students with diabetes was developed. Study findings provide insights into the needs for education, further research, and anticipatory guidance from healthcare providers and parents as young people with diabetes transition into college. Study findings may inform interventions that will provide this vulnerable population with greater opportunities for academic success and prevention of long-term complications of this complicated chronic illness."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supply chain scheduling is a relatively new research area with less than 20 years of history. It is an intersection of two traditional areas: supply chain management and scheduling. In this book, the authors provide a comprehensive coverage of supply chain scheduling. The book covers applications, solution algorithms for solving related problems, evaluation of supply chain conflicts, and models for encouraging cooperation between decision makers. Supply chain scheduling studies detailed scheduling issues within supply chains, as motivated by a variety of applications in the real world. Topics covered by the book include: Coordinated decision making in centralized supply chains, including integrated production and distribution scheduling, joint scheduling and product pricing, and coordinated subcontracting and scheduling. Coordination and competition issues in decentralized supply chains, including conflict and cooperation within scheduling decisions made by different parties in supply chains, and both cooperative and non-cooperative supply chain scheduling games. The book describes a variety of representative problems within each of these topics. The authors define these problems mathematically, describe corresponding applications, and introduce solution methods for solving each problem to improve supply chain performance.
Download or read book Hyperspectral Imaging for Fine to Medium Scale Applications in Environmental Sciences written by Michael Vohland and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-05-14 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the Special Issue “Hyperspectral Imaging for Fine to Medium Scale Applications in Environmental Sciences” was to present a selection of innovative studies using hyperspectral imaging (HSI) in different thematic fields. This intention reflects the technical developments in the last three decades, which have brought the capacity of HSI to provide spectrally, spatially and temporally detailed data, favoured by e.g., hyperspectral snapshot technologies, miniaturized hyperspectral sensors and hyperspectral microscopy imaging. The present book comprises a suite of papers in various fields of environmental sciences—geology/mineral exploration, digital soil mapping, mapping and characterization of vegetation, and sensing of water bodies (including under-ice and underwater applications). In addition, there are two rather methodically/technically-oriented contributions dealing with the optimized processing of UAV data and on the design and test of a multi-channel optical receiver for ground-based applications. All in all, this compilation documents that HSI is a multi-faceted research topic and will remain so in the future.

This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid growth of the world population has resulted in an exponential expansion of both urban and agricultural areas. Identifying and managing such earthly changes in an automatic way poses a worth-addressing challenge, in which remote sensing technology can have a fundamental role to answer—at least partially—such demands. The recent advent of cutting-edge processing facilities has fostered the adoption of deep learning architectures owing to their generalization capabilities. In this respect, it seems evident that the pace of deep learning in the remote sensing domain remains somewhat lagging behind that of its computer vision counterpart. This is due to the scarce availability of ground truth information in comparison with other computer vision domains. In this book, we aim at advancing the state of the art in linking deep learning methodologies with remote sensing image processing by collecting 20 contributions from different worldwide scientists and laboratories. The book presents a wide range of methodological advancements in the deep learning field that come with different applications in the remote sensing landscape such as wildfire and postdisaster damage detection, urban forest mapping, vine disease and pavement marking detection, desert road mapping, road and building outline extraction, vehicle and vessel detection, water identification, and text-to-image matching.
