This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is a serious health condition, with the potential for significant adverse consequences. Medication adherence is crucial to survival. Poor medication adherence is a common issue among T1DM adolescents, and combined with insulin resistance related to puberty, glycemic control can be difficult to maintain. The nurse is well-placed to interact with the T1DM adolescent to assist with medication adherence issues. Review of literature revealed diabetes education, provided by a certified diabetes educator (CDE), has been insufficient to promote medication adherence. Novel technological advances hold interest for many adolescents; however, technology alone is insufficient to address medication adherence. Addition of a psychosocial intervention is needed to improve adherence. An online support group intervention for adolescents with T1DM utilizing a video-chat format is proposed to address the adherence issue. A six-month long, one-hour, bi-weekly support group is facilitated by the nurse, CDE, and/or social worker to provide emotional support, peer interactions, problem-solving, and adolescent coping strategies. The health promotion model (HPM) is applicable as a theoretical framework for the support intervention. Individual characteristics and experiences, behavior specific cognitions and effects, and behavioral outcomes are hallmarks of the HPM, and can be applied to the T1DM adolescent as he/she learns to make lifestyle choices and behaviors affecting state of health. Evaluation endpoints include change in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), self-efficacy for diabetes assessment, and pharmacy dispensing records. Group participants will be organized into groups based on demographic data, and will complete a participant satisfaction questionnaire to evaluate perception of effectiveness of the intervention. Planned dissemination of findings includes the pediatric diabetes clinic, the local institution, CDE regional meeting, and presentation at a national conference such as Pediatric Endocrinology Nursing Society.

Download or read book Healthcare Provider Communication in Teens With Type 1 Diabetes written by Tori Humiston and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex chronic illness requiring both complex daily treatments and ongoing healthcare provider interactions to support optimal glycemic levels necessary for long-term health and quality of life. Adolescents do not manage their T1D by themselves but rather in collaboration with parents who often help in health tasks and navigating healthcare provider interactions. Although parental support is critical for the adolescent's development of disease-management skills, it requires parents maintain a delicate balance of allowing adolescent autonomy and providing parent support. When parental support shifts to parental overprotection, i.e., restricting and limiting an adolescent's activity engagement, it may impair adolescent's skill development and mastery necessary to complete diabetes-management tasks independently, including healthcare provider communication. In particular, parental overprotection may impact the adolescent's interpersonal effectiveness skills, in that adolescents may not learn how to be mindful and attentive to relationships or build a repertoire of mindfulness and self-compassion that would support effective healthcare provider communication and more independent diabetes management. Thus, adolescent experiences of interpersonal effectiveness skills, parental overprotection, and healthcare provider communication may have long-term implications for diabetes outcomes as the adolescent transitions to adulthood. Adolescents with type 1 diabetes might then benefit from an intervention targeted at interpersonal effectiveness skills to both reduce parental overprotection and improve healthcare provider communication. Adolescent participants (n=25, mean age=16.25, 56% female) completed a baseline survey for a pilot intervention study aimed at increasing mindfulness and decreasing diabetes-related stress. Adolescents reported on mindfulness, self-compassion, parental overprotection, and health care provider communication. The present study found that increased adolescent perception of parental overprotection was associated with decreased interpersonal effectiveness skills (mindfulness and self-compassion) and all were associated with increased difficulty with communicating with healthcare providers about diabetes. In addition, the potential utility of a mindfulness intervention for improving interpersonal effectiveness skills, decreasing parental overprotection, and improving adolescent healthcare provider communication was examined. The results also indicate potentially meaningful change scores for the four variables of interests between treatment and waitlist groups with very small to large effect sizes that may accrue into meaningful changes across time. Further, among adolescents who were highly engaged in the intervention program (n=11), mindfulness, self-compassion, parental overprotection, and healthcare provider communication again showed potentially meaningful change scores with small to medium effect sizes that may have long-term impact across time. These findings indicate that a mindfulness-based intervention has potential utility, especially for participants who were highly engaged in the program. Parental overprotection and interpersonal effectiveness skills may be key factors to target in interventions to support the transition of diabetes-management behaviors from parent to adolescent as the adolescent ages into young adulthood, particularly with regard to adolescents learning to communicate with their healthcare providers.

Download or read book Socialize Your Patient Engagement Strategy written by Letizia Affinito and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Socialize Your Patient Engagement Strategy makes the case for a fundamentally new approach to healthcare communication; one that mobilizes patients, healthcare professionals and uses new media to enable gathering, sharing and communication of information to achieve patient-centricity and provide better value for both organizations (in terms of profit) and patients (in terms of better service and improved health). Letizia Affinito and John Mack focus on three priority areas for actions: Improving Health Literacy (e.g. web sites; targeted mass digital campaigns), Improving Self-care (e.g. self-management education; self-monitoring; self-treatment), Improving Patient Safety (e.g. adherence to treatment regimens; equipping patients for safer selfcare). The authors explain the healthcare context to the digital communications revolution; the emerging digital marketing and communications techniques that enable this revolution and the core elements behind a patient-driven digital strategy. Drawing on the authors’ research and consulting practices, as well as on the practical experience of managers in medium-large companies worldwide, the book provides a proven framework for improving the development and implementation of patient-centered digital communication programs in healthcare organizations. It is an engaging how-to/how-not-to book which includes tips, advice, and critical reviews that every stakeholder dealing with the healthcare system must have in order to participate in the evolving healthcare system and be more active in making strategic patient-centered choices. Socialize Your Patient Engagement Strategy includes interviews with experts and leading case histories of successful digital communication programs in the healthcare arena. While there are books that focus on specific healthcare communicators within different types of organizations, in their book the authors recognize that effective patient-centric communication crosses all organizational boundar
Download or read book Possible Moderators of the Relationship Between Health Beliefs and Adherence and Metabolic Control in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes written by Kimberly Genuario and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Health Belief Model (HBM), as proposed by Janz & Becker (1984), is a theory of adherence to medical recommendation. Findings on the association between the HBM and adherence and metabolic control in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes have been inconsistent (e.g. Brownlee-Duffeck et al., 1987; Patino et al., 2005). The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between parent and adolescent health beliefs and adherence/metabolic control. Further, the study aimed to identify variables that may moderate the parent/adolescent health belief and adherence/metabolic control relationship; namely, amount of parent responsibility for diabetes care, parent emotional support, and executive functioning of parent/adolescent. Findings were generally unsupportive of HBM and moderation hypotheses but patterns emerged that may be important in future research and clinical work with this population. These themes include the tendency for Caucasians and younger adolescents to have better metabolic control, and the importance of parent perception of severity and susceptibility of diabetes complications and the significant correlation both parent and adolescent executive functioning abilities have with adherence/metabolic control. Clinically, results speak to the need of further assessment and intervention targeting health beliefs and executive functioning in parents of adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Results further indicate the need for additional and more nuanced research on health beliefs in this population.

Download or read book Digital Health Promotion written by Ivy O'Neil and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-10-02 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Searching the internet for health information or using health apps on mobile devices has become part of our daily routine, yet can be just as disempowering as empowering. This engaging overview critically examines the theoretical underpinning of digital health promotion and the use of digital tools and strategies to promote health. Ivy O’Neil investigates how modern technologies can enhance health services provision and increase the accessibility and efficiency of health communication and promotion. She also looks at the challenges they bring to the social model of health, as they often focus on the individual and neglect the many social, environmental and economic determinants of health. Digital technologies, O’Neil argues, can have negative as well as positive implications and may be contributing to the ever-widening health inequality gap, thereby failing to be compatible with health promotion principles and values. Offering a critical, practical and thoughtful overview of the application and usefulness of digital technology, this book will appeal to students of public health and health promotion, communication and policy.
