This book was released on 2004 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type 2 diabetes mellitus represents a daunting self-management challenge due to its complicated daily treatment regimen which includes adhering to diet, exercise, and medication recommendations. Little research has evaluated perceived barriers to diabetes self-care in a group that is at particular risk for diabetic complications: U.S. Latinos. This study had two aims. The first was to provide evidence that experimental and validated self-report instruments selected for this study functioned in a comparable manner in both Spanish and English in a sample of low income, predominantly Spanish-speaking diabetic patients (n = 77). The second aim was to examine hypothesized relationships of selected predictors to two criterion variables measuring health status (i.e., glycosylated hemoglobin A1c and Diabetes Impact) using a method described by Baron & Kenny (1986). Predictors included age, education, and income as covariates, and perceived environmental barriers to self-care, self-efficacy for treatment adherence, fatalistic beliefs (external health locus of control), and Latino cultural diabetes beliefs. Potential moderator and mediator variables of the relationship between perceived barriers to self care and criterion variables included self-efficacy for treatment adherence, fatalistic beliefs and Latino cultural diabetes beliefs. Scales used in this study had coefficient alpha values ranging from .82-.96 in Spanish and .74-.97 in English and also demonstrated strong factor structure integrity. Bivariate correlations indicated that higher scores on perceived barriers to self-care were significantly related to lower self-efficacy scores [r = −.34, p

This book was released on 2015 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetes is a rapidly growing health issue in the United States and across the globe, and is currently the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to other health complications, including coronary heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, vision loss, and Alzheimer's disease. Diabetes also attributes to a large financial burden in the United States, costing an estimated $245 billion among individuals diagnosed with diabetes in 2012 and a 41 percent increase from 2007. Blood glucose control is essential to reducing diabetes complications and related health care costs. Social resources are central to adherence of these self-management practices, particularly in middle-aged and older adults. Past research has examined the effect of social resources on health behaviors and health outcomes, but little has been done to examine the role of chronic stress on this relationship. Chronic stress is important to diabetes control because stress can impair an individual's ability to perform diabetes self-management behaviors. The purpose of this research was to fully identify: 1.) predictors of four diabetes control typologies, 2.) if chronic stress mediates the relationship between social embeddedness and diabetes control, and 3.) whether perceived social support moderates the relationship between chronic stress and diabetes control. Data from the 2006-2012 waves of the Health and Retirement Study, a nationally-representative study of adults in the United States, was utilized for these analyses. Study 1 found that perceived diabetes control predicted objective diabetes control. Multinomial logistic regression was employed to determine that age, race, income, self-rated health, perceived control over health, presence of ADLs and IADLs, duration of diabetes, restless sleep, smoking status, and taking oral medication and insulin to treat diabetes were significant predictors of at least one of the four diabetes control typologies, 1.) truly controlled, 2.) falsely controlled, 3.) falsely uncontrolled, and 4.) truly uncontrolled. The results of Study 1 suggest that other factors are associated with the disconnect between perceived and objective diabetes control. Study 2 found limited evidence of a relationship between social embeddedness and 1.) perceived and 2.) objective diabetes control. Generalized structural equation modeling was used to examine the mediating effect of 1.) number of chronic stressors and 2.) perceived stress on the relationship between social embeddedness and both types of diabetes control. One social embeddedness factor, contact with children through meeting in person and speaking on the phone, was fully mediated by perceived stress in its relationship with perceived diabetes control. However, perceived stress did not mediate the association between this social embeddedness factor and objective diabetes control. The results of Study 2 suggest that social embeddedness does not impact diabetes control in the presence of chronic stress, but that support from a social network may. Study 3 examined the relationship between perceived stress and five diabetes control outcomes, 1.) perceived diabetes control, 2.) objective diabetes control, 3.) use of oral medication to treat diabetes, 4.) use of insulin to treat diabetes, and 5.) insulin compliance based on doctor's recommendation. This study also explored the moderating effect of perceived social support on the relationship between perceived stress and the five diabetes control outcomes. Overall, the findings from Study 3 suggest that perceived negative social support in the presence of high stress may hinder diabetes control and control-related behaviors, and that total social support from a spouse in the presence of high stress was predictive of insulin compliance. The project ultimately illustrated how perceptions of stress and support may impact perceptions of diabetes control and control-related behaviors, but not objective control. However, results of this study should be interpreted with caution because many of the psychosocial measures analyzed were not from validated survey instruments. Overall, future research must focus on how perceptions, whether of control, stress, or support, impact diabetes-related behaviors, and ultimately objective diabetes control. Public health programming can help to improve accurate perceptions of diabetes control by strengthening access to social resources and mitigating the impact of chronic stressors.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to provide a comprehensive examination of personal characteristics, health status, diabetes experience, and perceived social support from family and perceived social support from friends as predictors of self-management in adults with diabetes mellitus. Perceived social support was measured using the Perceived Social Support from Friends and Family Scale (Procidano & Heller, 1983). Self-management was measured using the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Scale (Toobert, Hampson, & Glasgow, 2000), as well as a hemoglobin A1c test, a biomedical indicator of self-management efforts. Participants included 50 individuals who reported moderate levels of support from family and friends, but significantly more support from family members. Participants also reported the most adherence to taking medications and least adherence to exercising. Additionally, a modicum of support from family was associated with high adherence to diet and exercise. Economic and diabetes intervention implications are discussed, as well directions for future research.

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.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background and Significance: Type 2 diabetes is one of the fastest growing chronic diseases in the United States affecting one in four adults ages 65 and older. Proper disease management is crucial. It involves not only technical skills, but social support and social problem-solving abilities to prevent barriers to regimen adherence. However, the impact of social support and social problem-solving on adherence is not well understood. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships of social support and social problem-solving to adherence in adults with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive, correlation design was used. One hundred and one patients participated in the study. Social support was measured using the Social Support Scale for Self-Care in Middle-Aged Patients with Type 2 Diabetes (S4-MAD). Problem solving was measured using the Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised Short Form (SPSI-R:S). Adherence was measured by calculating the average blood glucose over seven days as recorded in the glucometer. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analyses were used to analyze the data. Results: H1 was supported. The findings showed that there was a significant relationship (rho= -0.32; p=0.001) between social support and S4MAD nutrition subscale; 4% of the variance in adherence was accounted for by social support in the nutrition subscale. H2 was not supported. Specifically, there was no significant relationship (rho=-0.20; p=0.41) between problem solving and adherence. Less than 1 % of the variance in adherence was accounted for by problem solving. H3 was not supported. There was no significant interaction between social support and problem solving on adherence. Conclusion: This study suggests that there are other domains that need to be examined as predictors of adherence to blood glucose monitoring among adult diabetic patients.
