Download or read book Depression and Diabetes written by Wayne Katon and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-06-09 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the multiple interrelationships between depression and various physical diseases. The WPA is providing an update of currently available evidence on these interrelationships by the publication of three books, dealing with the comorbidity of depression with diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Depression is a frequent and serious comorbid condition in diabetes, which adversely affects quality of life and the long-term prognosis. Co-occurrent depression presents peculiar clinical challenges, making both conditions harder to manage. Depression and Diabetes is the first book devoted to the interaction between these common disorders. World leaders in diabetes, depression and public health synthesize current evidence, including some previously unpublished data, in a concise, easy-to-read format. They provide an overview of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, medical costs, management, and public health and cultural implications of the comorbidity between depression and diabetes. The book describes how the negative consequences of depression in diabetes could be avoided, given that effective depression treatments for diabetic patients are available. Its practical approach makes the book ideal for all those involved in the management of these patients: psychiatrists, psychologists, diabetologists, general practitioners, diabetes specialist nurses and mental health nurses.
Download or read book Handbook of Psychology and Diabetes written by Clare Bradley and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook fulfils a pressing need within the area of psychological measurement in diabetes research and practice by providing access to material which has either been widely dispersed through the psychological and medical literature or has not previously been published. Journal articles describing the psychometric development of scales have rarely included the scales themselves but this book includes copies of scales and a wealth of additional information from unpublished theses, reports and recent manuscripts. You will find information about the reliability, validity, scoring, norms, and use of the measures in previous research presented in one volume. The Handbook is designed to help researchers and clinicians: - To select scales suitable for their purposes - To administer and score the scales correctly - To interpret the results appropriately. Dr. Clare Bradley is Reader in Health Psychology and Director of the Diabetes Research Group at Royal Holloway, University of London. Dr. Bradley and her research group have designed, developed and used a wide variety of measures of psychological processes and outcomes. Many of these measures have been designed and developed specifically for people with diabetes. Together with diabetes-specific psychological measures developed by other researchers internationally, these instruments have played an important part in facilitating patient-centred approaches to diabetes research and clinical practice.
Download or read book Psychology in Diabetes Care and Practice written by Val Wilson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-27 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an indispensable guide to diabetes care and practice, providing a thorough overview of the main issues that health professionals should keep in mind when treating someone with the condition, and how psychology plays a key role in diabetes self-management. Based on the latest research evidence along with numerous patient perspectives, the book looks at a wide range of topics in diabetes health psychology, from mental health conditions to theories of behaviour change, with a focus on comorbidities. Chapters describe the emotional impact of a diabetes diagnosis; the psychosocial issues surrounding living with diabetes; theories of behaviour applied to diabetes self-management; the impact of diabetes and depression; diabetes and eating disorders; the psychological impact of diabetes complications, and potential stigma associated with having Type 2 diabetes, including the psychological impact of weight loss surgery. Psychology in Diabetes Care and Practice enables the provision of support to reduce psychological distress and improve diabetes self-management. It helps patients to learn more about how best to manage their condition, as well as health professionals wanting to find appropriate ways to facilitate self-management.
Download or read book Impact of Social Support Self efficacy and Outcome Expectations on Self care Behaviors and Glycemic Control in Caucasian and African American Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus written by Diane Orr Chlebowy and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Caucasians and African-Americans with type 2 diabetes continue to experience preventable diabetes-related life-threatening complications despite medical advances and health care availability. African-Americans are more likely to suffer from diabetes-related complications and experience a higher diabetes-related mortality rate than Caucasians. There is a definite need to better understand the relationship of psychosocial variables to diabetes control in these two racial groups. The purpose of this two-group, comparative, descriptive study was to examine the relationships of social support, self-efficacy, and outcome expectations (beliefs that diabetes-related behaviors will lead to certain outcomes) to self-care behaviors and glycemic control in Caucasian and African-American adults with type 2 diabetes. A convenience sample of 91 Caucasian and African-American subjects receiving health care at three outpatient facilities participated in the study. All subjects completed four self-report measures: Social Support Questionnaire, Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, Outcome Expectancy Questionnaire, and the Diabetes Activities Questionnaire at the time of the outpatient visit. Long-term glycemic control was assessed by glycosylated hemoglobin analyses at the time of the outpatient visit. Two-sample t-tests revealed no significant differences between the two racial groups in regards to age (p = .81), duration of diabetes (p = .69), and glycosylated hemoglobin (p = .85). Chi-square analyses revealed two significant differences between the two racial groups with regard to sex (p = .04) and marital status (p

Download or read book Buddy Support and Diabetic Self Care Adherence written by Sally A. Bird and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes affects approximately 20.8 million people in the United States. Diabetes Self-Manangement Education (DSME) helps diabetics improve blood sugar levels, thereby postponing complications of this progressive disease. DSME classes are not sufficient to sustain required lifelong self-care activities. Social support has been shown to enhance self-care activities in type 2 diabetic patients. Studies show that type 2 diabetes (DM) patients with adequate social support manage their diabetes more effectively and improve quality of life. This evidence-based practice project will evaluate a standard of care practice change. Naturally occurring groups will be compared to determine if there is a difference in self-reported diabetes self-care activities between DM patients who are ages 21-65 years and who choose to attend DSME classes with a buddy compared to those attending without a buddy. The Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) measure, a self-reported questionnaire assessing diet, exercise, blood-glucose testing, foot care, and smoking status has been reliable used for 20 years. SDSCA has adequate reliability as well as validity and sensitivity.

Download or read book Spirituality and Religion Within the Culture of Medicine written by Michael J. Balboni and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirituality and Religion Within the Culture of Medicine provides a comprehensive evaluation of the relationship between spirituality, religion, and medicine evaluating current empirical research and academic scholarship. In Part 1, the book examines the relationship of religion, spirituality, and the practice of medicine by assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the most recent empirical research of religion/spirituality within twelve distinct fields of medicine including pediatrics, psychiatry, internal medicine, surgery, palliative care, and medical ethics. Written by leading clinician researchers in their fields, contributors provide case examples and highlight best practices when engaging religion/spirituality within clinical practice. This is the first collection that assesses how the medical context interacts with patient spirituality recognizing crucial differences between contexts from obstetrics and family medicine, to nursing, to gerontology and the ICU. Recognizing the interdisciplinary aspects of spirituality, religion, and health, Part 2 of the book turns to academic scholarship outside the field of medicine to consider cultural dimensions that form clinical practice. Social-scientific, practical, and humanity fields include psychology, sociology, anthropology, law, history, philosophy, and theology. This is the first time in a single volume that readers can reflect on these multi-dimensional, complex issues with contributions from leading scholars. In Part III, the book concludes with a synthesis, identifying the best studies in the field of religion and health, ongoing weaknesses in research, and highlighting what can be confidently believed based on prior studies. The synthesis also considers relations between the empirical literature on religion and health and the theological and religious traditions, discussing places of convergence and tension, as well as remainingopen questions for further reflection and research. This book will provide trainees and clinicians with an introduction to the field of spirituality, religion, and medicine, and its multi-disciplinary approach will give researchers and scholars in the field a critical and up-to-date analysis.
Download or read book Diabetes Knowledge Self Effecacy Social Support and Diabetes Self management Affecting Type II Diabetes Outcomes In Qataris written by Fatemah Ali Pouladi (RN) and published by . 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.
