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 2017 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States (U.S.), Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has reached epidemic portions with a prevalence of approximately 29.1 million people and is the seventh-leading cause of death (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2014; Healthy People 2020, n.d.). The U.S. spends an estimated $245 billion in direct and indirect medical costs. The indirect costs include disability and lost productivity (CDC, 2014). Previous studies focusing on diabetes education acknowledge the significance of self-management activities in managing T2DM. Extant studies examining self-management and treatment outcomes for persons with T2DM have paid limited attention to the relationship between patients' disease perceptions, diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, self-management practices, and glycemic control. The purpose of this investigation was to identify factors and outcomes associated with healthy diabetes self-management practices among a cohort of individuals with T2DM residing in southern California. Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model (Pender et al., 2015) guided the study. Specific aims include: 1) Provide conceptual clarity for the phenomenon of perception through a concept analysis using Walker and Avant (2011) methodology, 2) Identify factors and outcomes associated with diabetes self-management through a systematic review of the literature, and 3) Examine relationships among perceived self-efficacy, specific patient characteristics, diabetic knowledge, self-management practices, and HbA1C values among a sample of individuals with T2DM living in southern California. The research aims provided the structure to generate new scientific data and evidence towards the improvement of self-management practices and those characteristics leading to improved HbA1C outcomes.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a significant health issue, as it requires patients to perform daily self-management activities. One in every three Americans with Type 2 diabetes has limited or low health literacy skills. Limited or low health literacy skills can impact a patient’s overall health outcome; therefore, a critical element for disease management and patient adherence is health literacy. The purpose of this three-month scholarly project was to determine if the utilization of an educational intervention specific to one’s level of health literacy, combined with a short message service reinforcement tool, could improve glycemic control and self-efficacy in Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with limited and low HL. A sample of four participants was recruited for this scholarly project. Participants completed pre and post self-efficacy and health literacy questionnaires. During the three-month intervention phase, participants interacted with the project leader utilizing the text messaging reinforcement tool. After the three-month intervention phase, participants had an overall 9% increase in self-efficacy confidence, a 42% overall increase in health literacy knowledge, and an overall HbA1c mean value reduction of 0.5%. This combination therapy intervention is easy and convenient for health care providers and Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with limited or low health literacy. This intervention is an efficient and effective method to improve patients self-efficacy and diabetes knowledge; furthermore, this method improves patient self-management skills, glycemic control, and patient longevity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Uncontrolled diabetes causes target end organ damage that is devastating to multiple body systems including cardiovascular, neurologic, and renal systems. Adequate management of diabetes is required to prevent these health complications but unfortunately includes many lifestyle changes that are difficult to maintain. Weekly support in the form of telehealth has been demonstrated in the literature as a method to help patients with diabetes improve self-efficacy and glycemic control. This evidence-based practice change project implemented telehealth in the form of phone calls, text messages, or emails among a group of participants (N=15) with type 2 diabetes at a privately owned health clinic in a large metropolitan area in a northeastern state. Blood glucose levels decreased and self-efficacy scores increased after the implementation of the telehealth intervention. Project findings led to recommendations for the practice site, and implications for policy and health promotion. It is recommended that future implementation of this intervention occurs among a larger, heterogenous population and that more methods of telehealth be included.

Younes, MSc1, Hafez Ahmad, PhD 2, Jason A Brown PhD 3 , Rafat M. Al Owesie MD 3, Ahmed AK. Hassoun MD 11Dubai Diabetes Center, Dubai Health Authority, Dubai, UAE2Dubai Medical College, Dubai, UAE 3Sultan Bin AbdulAziz Humanitarian City, Riyadh, KSA Introduction:-Diabetes self-management (DSM) is a very challenging task and demands the involvement and contribution of multiple treatment areas. Diabetes self-management adopts healthy lifestyle behaviors, which have an effect on glycemic control for patients with diabetes mellitus. Diabetes is a disease that requires change in behavior, and behavioral changes are affected by several factors. One of the crucial factors in attaining behavioral goals is self-efficacy; defined as the individual's beliefs about personal capabilities to perform specific behaviors that are necessary to achieve their goals. Diabetes management self-efficacy, therefore, refers to the patient's confidence in his/her ability to perform several of the DSM behaviors; and improving DSM is an ongoing challenge for health care teams globally, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). As a result, identifying DSM behaviors and diabetes management self-efficacy and examining their effects on glycemic control, as well as identifying which areas of diabetes management self-efficacy and DSM behaviors patients need additional support in, can assist health care teams in achieving better diabetes control.Aim:To determine the prevalence of diabetes self-care activities among patients with type 2 diabetes and to examine the association between socio-demographic and clinical parameters, diabetes self-care activities, and glycemic control among patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods:A cross sectional study was conducted among 123 patients with diabetes at the Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Humanitarian City (SBAHC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In order to be included in the study, patients must have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, they had to be 25 years of age and above, mentally competent, and able to communicate verbally and provide informed consent. Patients with type 1 diabetes, pregnant women, patients experiencing cognitive impairment and any patient who did not agree to participate in the study were excluded. Interviews took place in the visit room individually and lasted approximately 15 minutes. Subjectu2019s verbal and written consent was obtained.The data were collected via medical records and a face-to-face interview was undertaken with consecutive patients attending SBAHC. During the interview, the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES) and the revised Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Scale (SDSCA) questionnaires were completed for each participant. A regression model was used to examine the variables that predicted glycemic control. Moreover, a regression analysis examining the effect of each self-efficacy subscale on its respective diabetes self -management (DSM) behavior was carried out.Result:The most frequently reported DSM behaviors were foot care (mean u00b1 SD = 4.4 u00b11.83, median = 4.5) followed by medication taking self-management behavior (mean u00b1 SD= 4.15 u00b11.68, median = 3.5). The least frequently reported DSM behaviors were exercise self-management behavior and blood sugar testing behavior. Spearman regression analysis showed that self-efficacy was associated with higher levels of diet, exercise, blood sugar testing, and foot care self-management behaviors.Spearman regression analysis assessing the association between self-efficacy and self-management behavior in relation to the five listed parameters.Independent variablestRtAdjusted R2tP valueDiet t0.390t0.145t0.000Exercise t0.505t0.248t0.000Blood sugar testing and control t0.318t0.094t0.000Medical treatment t0.082t0.002t0.369Foot care t0.439t0.186t0.000 A final parsimonious regression model done including all of the statistically significant predictors from the subset analysis showed that diet self-management behaviors and oral hypoglycemic agents use were independent predictors of glycemic control HbA1c

This book was released on 2018 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Type II diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing worldwide, leading to greater health expenses, and its complications were responsible for 4.6 million deaths in 2011 (International Diabetes Federation [IDF], 2011). This study investigates how diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, social support, and self-management relate to diabetes control. Self-efficacy and social support were examined, respectively, as a mediator and a moderator. The hypothesis is that there is a directional relationship between the concepts of diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, social support, self-management, and the outcome, glycemic control. Method: A convenience sample of 259 Qataris with type II diabetes mellitus were recruited from Hamad Medical Corporation’s outpatient clinics and Home Healthcare Services (HHCS) in Qatar. Using a cross-sectional correlational design, correlation/regression coefficient tests were used to examine the relationships among these variables and their effect on the dependent variable, glycemic control. Participants responded to a set of questionnaires independently, via telephone, or in-person interviews. The following instruments were used: the Diabetes Knowledge Test (DKT), Self-Efficacy for Diabetes (SED) scale, Social Support by Medical Outcomes Study (MOS), the Self-Management Profile for Type 2 Diabetes (SMP-T2D), and the patients' glycemic control was measured by glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c). The collected data were entered into a computer database and patient confidentiality was strictly maintained. Pearson correlation coefficients, multiple, and hierarchical multiple regression were used to analyze the relationships among the variable; in addition, the mediating effect of self-efficacy, and the moderating effect of social support were tested. Results: The study sample’s age averaged 50.7 years (SD=13.0). The duration of diabetes averaged 9.30 years (SD=8.1); the average blood glucose was 176.8 mg/dl (SD= 77.8), and the average HbA1c was 8.6% (SD= 2.2). There was no relationship between diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, social support, self-management and glycemic control for adult Qataris with type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, self-efficacy did not mediate the relationship between diabetes knowledge and self-management, nor did social support moderate the relationship between self-management and HbA1c. Conclusion: No relationships were found in this sample of Qatari older adults with type 2 diabetes. Future research is needed with larger samples to examine how these and other cultural factors explain glycemic control in this population.

Download or read book Predicting Treatment Success written by Emily DiNatale and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural African American women have greater prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and poorer treatment outcomes compared to Caucasians. Some research suggests that self-efficacy, subjective norms, and locus of control (LOC) impact this population differently and may be linked to behavioral treatment outcomes. However, these relationships have not been directly examined. EMPOWER, a culturally-tailored T2DM intervention that utilizes community health workers (CHWs) to provide patient-centered care using a Small Changes Model (SCM), was developed as an innovative treatment approach for African American women. This study was designed to explore the best predictors of treatment success within the EMPOWER program and to determine whether self-efficacy, subjective norms, and LOC impact outcomes. Assessments utilized program results of two hundred middle aged (age=53.45±10.24) obese (BMI=37.67±8.02) African American women with poorly-controlled diabetes (HbA1c=9.09±1.83) enrolled in EMPOWER. Half (n=102) were randomly assigned to a phone-based EMPOWER group while half (n=98) were assigned to a mail-based didactic comparative group. Weight, HbA1c, medication adherence, self-care behaviors, self-efficacy, and depression were measured at 0, 6, and 12-months. At 12-month follow-up, subjective norms and LOC were measured. Repeated measures ANOVAs indicated that both groups had a reduction in weight F(1.82, 197)=4.15, p=0.020, [eta]2=0.021 but no changes in HbA1c. Independent samples t-tests revealed a significant difference in God LOC between the EMPOWER group (M=19.16, SD=8.20) and the Mail group (M=22.42, SD=7.48; t(143)=-2.49, p=0.014) and between participants who used insulin (M=21.86, SD=7.55) and those who do not (M=18.88, SD=8.21; t(139)=-2.18, p=0.031). Theoretically-based moderated-mediation models assessed self-efficacy and subjective norms as mediators and God and Internal LOC as moderators of outcomes. While no mediation interactions were found, models revealed that subjective norms significantly impacted self-care behavior change ([beta]=1.48, p=0.037). God LOC served as a moderator that enhanced this relationship ([beta]=0.078, p=0.013). Results suggest that subjective norms may play a more important role in diabetes management behavior change among African American women than previously understood. Further, God LOC was shown to be an important and complex treatment factor that likely relates to both internal and external LOC. These findings have important implications for future health behavior change programs for African American women.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persons with type II diabetes are faced with the challenging task of maintaining glycemic control by making significant lifestyle changes in the areas of nutrition, exercise, medication management, and glucose testing. Previous research has shown the significant role self-efficacy has on the implementation of self-care behaviors and as a result, on glycemic control. However, many persons with diabetes do not meet the diagnostic criteria for depression and may be experiencing more general psychosocial distress. Due to the multifaceted nature of the disease, persons with diabetes may experience diabetes distress related to the emotional burden that comes with diabetes management, physician-patient relationship, self-care tasks associated with diabetes management, and interpersonal relationships with support system. In this study, the relationship between diabetes-related distress, self-efficacy, and glycemic control were explored in persons with type II diabetes. Additional analysis was conducted to assess whether self-efficacy mediates the relationship between diabetes distress and glycemic control. The results of this study indicated that self-efficacy did not mediate the relationship between diabetes distress and glycemic control. However, diabetes distress was found to be significantly associated with self-efficacy and glycemic control.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Diabetes mellitus (diabetes), an endocrine disorder, is in epidemic proportions globally, threatening the well being of people affected and challenging healthcare systems. This debilitating chronic condition warrants overall adjustments to lifestyle and therapeutic interventions to self-manage the condition and this can be achieved successfully by empowering the patient. Patient empowerment has emerged as a new paradigm recently, and can help improve medical outcomes while lowering costs of treatment. This paradigm can lead to better self-management, resulting in better clinical outcomes, particularly in managing chronic diseases, such as diabetes. This thesis investigates how information and communication technologies can play an important role in empowering the patients to self manage the disease, and attempts to make two important contributions. The first contribution, involves the development of a novel multimodal diabetes model. The proposed diabetes model can allow better self-management of the disease and lead to therapy success, as it takes into account multiple determinants, including the constructs of self-efficacy and locus of control drawn from socio-cognitive theory, and factors corresponding to personal attributes, demographics, disease traits, socio-environmental context (family and culture), and health context. The second contribution involves the development of a smart Web 2.0 portal technology for implementing the proposed multimodal diabetes model. The implementation of the diabetes model with this portal technology allows an integrated holistic platform for self-managing the disease, with seamless integration, collaboration and communication features provided by the portal."

Download or read book Research with the Locus of Control Construct written by Herbert M. Lefcourt and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research with the Locus of Control Construct, Volume 1: Assessment Methods was created to serve two purposes. The first is to fill the researcher's need for information about the application of appropriate locus of control scales to their particular purposes or samples. It presents a variety of locus of control scales and describes the relevant research and applications. The second purpose for this book involves the general field of personality psychology. Often personality constructs emerge, occupy center stage for the better part of a decade, and then almost silently disappear from view. By contrast, the locus of control construct has occupied a central position in personality research for a decade. The contributions to this volume represent some of the innovations that extend the utility of the locus of control construct to different areas of concern. It illustrates a simple principle—that a construct continues to be viable only as long as it continues to inspire innovations; if it remains static the construct will eventually disappear. This book is intended to provide information regarding new developments and to encourage new questions and applications that may allow the locus of control construct to outlive the brief life span that is common among personality constructs. It is assumed that the reader is already familiar with the basic literature on locus of control research.
