Download or read book The Effect of Health Education on Clinical and Self reported Outcomes of Diabetes in a Medical Practice written by Karen Rav-Marathe and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four outcome variables of (A1C), (LDLC), (FC), and (PPH) did not constitute one common factor measurement model for outcome evaluation. Results of the Independent sample t-test showed that health educational intervention directly improves knowledge about diabetes. The path analysis of panel regression showed that health educational intervention directly lowers glycated hemoglobin (A1C). The causal modeling of {(Exp_Status)-(K-T2)-(A-T2)-(P-T2)} model showed that health educational intervention also indirectly improves preventive practice via knowledge. The effect of attitude (A-T2) was greater than the effect of knowledge on preventive practice of self-care. The difference-in-differences analysis showed that difference in practice (DP) statistically significantly affects the difference in glycated hemoglobin (DA1C). The greater the preventive practice, the greater the lowering of glycated hemoglobin (A1C), indicating a better control of diabetes. The data from this experiment do not support a strong causal path of experimental effects on outcomes via knowledge, attitude, and practice of self-care. The study should be replicated using the KAP-O model in research based on multi-centers, multiple providers, and a diverse population of Type 2 diabetes patients. The study should assess outcomes more than four times over a period of one to two years to elicit the trajectory of change in outcome variables. Knowledge and attitude should be assessed at baseline and continuously improved for the duration of the study.

Download or read book Perspectives on Health Equity and Social Determinants of Health written by National Academy of Medicine and published by . This book was released on 2023-09-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social factors, signals, and biases shape the health of our nation. Racism and poverty manifest in unequal social, environmental, and economic conditions, resulting in deep-rooted health disparities that carry over from generation to generation. In Perspectives on Health Equity and Social Determinants of Health, authors call for collective action across sectors to reverse the debilitating and often lethal consequences of health inequity. This edited volume of discussion papers provides recommendations to advance the agenda to promote health equity for all. Organized by research approaches and policy implications, systems that perpetuate or ameliorate health disparities, and specific examples of ways in which health disparities manifest in communities of color, this Special Publication provides a stark look at how health and well-being are nurtured, protected, and preserved where people live, learn, work, and play. All of our nation's institutions have important roles to play even if they do not think of their purpose as fundamentally linked to health and well-being. The rich discussions found throughout Perspectives on Health Equity and Social Determinants of Health make way for the translation of policies and actions to improve health and health equity for all citizens of our society. The major health problems of our time cannot be solved by health care alone. They cannot be solved by public health alone. Collective action is needed, and it is needed now.

Download or read book Effects of a Peer led Educational Intervention on Support Resources Self effcacy Depression Beliefs and Self management Behaviors in Latinos with Type 2 Diabetes written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) affects roughly 20 million individuals in the US and this amount is projected to more than double by the year 2034. Latinos are at disproportionately greater risk for developing T2DM and often exhibit poorer adherence to diabetes self-management recommendations, and in turn, worse glycemic control and more diabetes-related complications, compared to non-Latino Whites. Project Dulce was a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of a peer-educator led, culturally-appropriate intervention designed to improve diabetes self-management and glycemic control among Latinos with poorly controlled diabetes. The current project investigated the effects of the Project Dulce intervention on diabetes self-management behavior, support resources, self-efficacy, depressive symptomatology, and culture-based beliefs about diabetes, using the Resources and Supports for Self-Management (RSSM) as a conceptual framework. Study participants (N = 207) completed clinical and self-report assessments at baseline, post-intervention (4 months), and follow-up (10 months). Study hypotheses were evaluated via multi-level models using Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) 6.08. The study aimed to assess whether the Project Dulce peer-education group exhibited greater improvements over time in diabetes self-management behaviors, depressive symptoms, support resources for disease management and self-efficacy, as well as culture-based beliefs about diabetes, compared to the control ("care as usual") group. An exploratory aim of the study investigated whether "dosage" (i.e., classes attended) was associated with greater improvements in the Project Dulce intervention group. Analyses revealed improvements in dietary self-management behaviors, depressive symptomatology, self-efficacy, culture-based beliefs about diabetes, support resources for disease management (i.e., friends and family, healthcare providers, neighborhood, and personal support), and self-efficacy, over time, across groups. Analyses also revealed that Project Dulce group participants showed greater improvements in personal support resources for disease management and endorsed fewer culture-based beliefs about diabetes over time, compared to the control group. Furthermore, "dosage" (attendance) analyses, including only Project Dulce group participants, revealed that greater dosage (i.e., attending more sessions) led to greater improvements over time in support resources for disease management (self and neighborhood support), as well as exercise and blood-glucose checking self-management behaviors, compared to those who attended fewer classes. Although analyses revealed that Project Dulce group participants showed improvements over time with increased attendance, this was not significantly greater than improvements experienced by the control group. Possible explanations for improvements in the control group may relate to participants' motivation for change, or contact with the peer-educator during assessments which may have conveyed support or may have created expectancy effects (i.e., "social desirability effects") leading to biased self-report responding. Findings from "Dosage" analyses (including Project Dulce group participants only) indicate that individuals with type 2 diabetes who enroll in the Project Dulce intervention and attend more classes may experience greater support resources from their neighborhood and self-support, which may lead to improved self-management behavior, compared to individuals who attend fewer classes. Distinction of assessor and interventionist roles, and use of objective behavioral data collection methods, may shed light on the degree to which interventions such as Project Dulce can modify health behavior among this high-risk population.
Download or read book Measures of Diabetic Patient Knowledge Attitudes and Behavior Regarding Self care written by Kent H. Marquis and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study sought measures of diabetic patient compliance behavior, knowledge, and attitudes that experts rated important. A literature review uncovered no relevant measures with known reliability and validity, so the study designed and tested new measures. Questionnaires were administered to about 500 patients from four treatment facilities. Retest questionnaires, interviews with people who knew the patient, medical records, and patient skill demonstrations provided measurement evaluation data. Evaluations indicated that there are still response biases and errors in the newly developed behavior measures, indicated a need for comprehensive validity studies of the knowledge measures, and suggested a set of variables important for further attitude measurement development. Levels of compliance were uncorrelated across prescribed activities; future measurement and theory will need to take this complexity into account.

Download or read book Exercise and Diabetes written by Sheri R. Colberg and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical movement has a positive effect on physical fitness, morbidity, and mortality in individuals with diabetes. Although exercise has long been considered a cornerstone of diabetes management, many health care providers fail to prescribe it. In addition, many fitness professionals may be unaware of the complexities of including physical activity in the management of diabetes. Giving patients or clients a full exercise prescription that take other chronic conditions commonly accompanying diabetes into account may be too time-consuming for or beyond the expertise of many health care and fitness professionals. The purpose of this book is to cover the recommended types and quantities of physical activities that can and should be undertaken by all individuals with any type of diabetes, along with precautions related to medication use and diabetes-related health complications. Medications used to control diabetes should augment lifestyle improvements like increased daily physical activity rather than replace them. Up until now, professional books with exercise information and prescriptions were not timely or interactive enough to easily provide busy professionals with access to the latest recommendations for each unique patient. However, simply instructing patients to “exercise more” is frequently not motivating or informative enough to get them regularly or safely active. This book is changing all that with its up-to-date and easy-to-prescribe exercise and physical activity recommendations and relevant case studies. Read and learn to quickly prescribe effective and appropriate exercise to everyone.
