Download or read book The Importance of Diabetes Self Management Education written by Lisa Davidson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are gaps that are present between providing diabetes self management education and actually executing diabetes self management education. Implementing standardized screening tools and education on self care management for nurse to use along with a team approach that includes podiatrist, diabetes educator and nutritionist can help to close that gap and reduces the incidence of diabetes complications. Diabetes is a chronic and complex disease that requires ongoing self management care to prevent complications that includes amputations, disability and even death. The longer the disease is left unmanaged the higher the risk of disabling or life threatening complications. Diabetes education has been proven to help people fully understand their disease process and self management through training and support so that they do not feel isolated. Diabetes education is important to producing good patient outcomes. Diabetes education focuses on eating healthy, staying active, monitoring of blood sugar levels, medication administration and risk reduction. The goal of diabetes education is to create and individualized plan and the tools and support to motivate patient to continue their treatment regimen. Diabetes self management education is the basis for empowering patient to effectively manage their disease and make the important decisions about their care daily. A team approach is beneficial for patients in that the education can be taught from different professionals knowledgeable on diabetes care and management. The information can be practiced and reinforced throughout their hospital stay on a daily basis in order to ensure complications. Doing so will enhance compliance and accountability for self management.

This book was released on 2000-06-09 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malnutrition and obesity are both common among Americans over age 65. There are also a host of other medical conditions from which older people and other Medicare beneficiaries suffer that could be improved with appropriate nutritional intervention. Despite that, access to a nutrition professional is very limited. Do nutrition services benefit older people in terms of morbidity, mortality, or quality of life? Which health professionals are best qualified to provide such services? What would be the cost to Medicare of such services? Would the cost be offset by reduced illness in this population? This book addresses these questions, provides recommendations for nutrition services for the elderly, and considers how the coverage policy should be approached and practiced. The book discusses the role of nutrition therapy in the management of a number of diseases. It also examines what the elderly receive in the way of nutrition services along the continuum of care settings and addresses the areas of expertise needed by health professionals to provide appropriate nutrition services and therapy.

Download or read book Learning to Manage written by Ifunanya Hilda Ejebe and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management of type 2 diabetes in the United States is a population health priority. Approximately 1 in 10 adults in the United States have diabetes and a significant majority have inadequately controlled blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol. Previous research shows that many adults with diabetes lack the knowledge, skills, behaviors, and support to properly manage their condition. Diabetes self-management education has become an important part of diabetes care guidelines as a way to improve the self-management of adults with diabetes in order to lead to improve patient health and reduce inappropriate health care use and medical costs. Despite this, it is unclear who is actually receiving diabetes self-management education in the US, overall and by mode of delivery and diabetes educator type, and whether education is associated with improved population health. Therefore, the objective of this dissertation research is to investigate the distribution of diabetes self-management education, patient sociodemographic factors that influence the receipt of that education, and its contribution toward diabetes outcomes, medical expenditures, and healthcare use in US adults. We achieved this research objective by completing three specific research aims. We used nationally representative data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We found that although a substantial majority of individuals received some form of diabetes self-management education, receiving diabetes education was associated with race/ethnicity and income (Aim 1), and varied by mode of education delivery. Individuals who received diabetes self-management education were less likely to have glycemic control but were more likely to receive antiglycemic treatment (Aim 2). Receiving diabetes self-management education was associated with greater diabetes-related ambulatory and prescription use, depending on the mode of education delivery (Aim 3). Our findings highlight some strengths of the current state of diabetes management occurring in usual care, including the widespread delivery of some form of diabetes education and its association with greater ambulatory and prescription use. However, we also found evidence of the need for more effective diabetes education delivery systems in usual care in order to improve patient self-care behaviors and reduce inpatient and emergency room use.

Each topical chapter includes illustrations that can be used to show and teach important concepts, e.g., carbohydrate counting and how to manage stress, and necessary daily tasks, e.g., monitoring blood glucose and meal planning. There is also an extensive support material section that helps educators manage their educational programs.

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.
