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.

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 2020-05-14 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social isolation and loneliness are serious yet underappreciated public health risks that affect a significant portion of the older adult population. Approximately one-quarter of community-dwelling Americans aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated, and a significant proportion of adults in the United States report feeling lonely. People who are 50 years of age or older are more likely to experience many of the risk factors that can cause or exacerbate social isolation or loneliness, such as living alone, the loss of family or friends, chronic illness, and sensory impairments. Over a life course, social isolation and loneliness may be episodic or chronic, depending upon an individual's circumstances and perceptions. A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that social isolation presents a major risk for premature mortality, comparable to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, or obesity. As older adults are particularly high-volume and high-frequency users of the health care system, there is an opportunity for health care professionals to identify, prevent, and mitigate the adverse health impacts of social isolation and loneliness in older adults. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults summarizes the evidence base and explores how social isolation and loneliness affect health and quality of life in adults aged 50 and older, particularly among low income, underserved, and vulnerable populations. This report makes recommendations specifically for clinical settings of health care to identify those who suffer the resultant negative health impacts of social isolation and loneliness and target interventions to improve their social conditions. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults considers clinical tools and methodologies, better education and training for the health care workforce, and dissemination and implementation that will be important for translating research into practice, especially as the evidence base for effective interventions continues to flourish.

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.

Book excerpt: Type II Diabetes Mellitus continues to be a worldwide health threat not only on the Philippines but all over the globe.Adequate self-care is an important cornerstone in the management of diabetes.Different Enablers and Deterrents to self-care surfaced and included the following: Enablers constituted of the diabetic self as an enabler, help from others, the health care provider enabler, spirituality, and the environment. Deterrents, on the other hand are elements or factors that prevented self-care behavior from occurring. Diabetic Self as deterrent, customer displeasure, stress and fiscal constraints were deterrents to self-care behavior. Effective self-care behaviors will be seen if enablers dominate, thus good outcomes and successful management of disease may be expected. Minimizing the effects of the deterrents, while maximizing and enhancing the aspect of enablers will undeniably foster effective self-care behavior among people with Type II Diabetes highlighting the crucial role of the nurse in restoring balance using the nursing process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) continues to rise creating a global crisis. It is predicted that over the next 40 years three times the number of current diabetic patients will be diagnosed generating a pandemic. Diabetes mellitus, like other chronic diseases, creates a burden not only on patients but also on communities, families, and health care systems (Jack, 2003). Diabetes mellitus is a disease complicated by multiple issues, and if left untreated, acute and chronic complications occurs worsening patient outcomes and quality of life. Interprofessional approaches to medical management of DM for prevention of long term complications are necessary, and diabetes self-management education/training (DSME/T) is a vital component of the medical care that should be provided (AADE, 2009; ADA, 2010). ..." from Introduction.
