This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: People in low socioeconomic status groups are at increased risk for diabetes mellitus, a group of diseases associated with high levels of blood glucose. High rates of depression have been found in people with diabetes. The study examined the relationship between stress, depression, and glycemic control in low-income type 2 diabetes patients. Participants were recruited at two community health centers that provide free medical care. The following hypotheses were examined: (1) experiencing stressful life events is positively correlated with blood glucose level; (2) negative stressful events have a greater association with glucose level than positive stressful events; (3) depression mediates the relationship between negative stressful events and glucose level (mediation model); (4) the effect of experiencing both negative stressful events and depression is predictive of glucose level (additive model); (5) the interaction between negative stressful events and depression is predictive of glucose level (interactive model); and (6) perceptions of control moderates the relationship between stress and depression. Stressful life events and depression were not related to blood glucose levels in bivariate correlations. The data did not support any of the three models of the relationship between stress, depression, and glycemic control. The strongest predictor of glycemic control was Hispanic ethnicity, however, income and education appear to confound this relationship. Depression was positively correlated with the total number of stressful events and negative stressful events and negatively correlated with perceptions of control. Participants in the study with less than a high school education had the highest amount of depression. In post-hoc analyses, four variables (education, perceptions of control, stressful life events, blood glucose) predicted 58% of the variance in depression, and education and perceptions of control were the strongest predictors. Perceptions of control was a significant partial mediator of the relationship between education and depression and also partially mediated the relationship between stress and depression. The results of the study indicate that decreasing stressful life events and increasing perceptions of control is important in reducing low-income diabetes patients' level of depression.

Download or read book Perceived Control Coping and Health in Type 2 Diabetes written by April M. Fritch and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The associations among perceived control, coping, and health in 69 adults with type 2 diabetes were examined. The goal of the current study was to determine whether a mediational model, based on Lazarus and Folkman's transactional model of stress and coping, or a mode rational model, based on Terry & Conway's goodness-of-fit hypothesis, was more appropriate to describe the relationships among perceived control, coping, and health. Regression analyses revealed that (a) emotion-focused coping mediated the relationships between perceived control, (b) perceived control also acted through an indirect effect on emotion-focused coping and health behavior to impact self-rated physical health, and (c) perceived control moderated the relationship between emotion-focused coping and psychological distress. These results provide partial support for both the transactional model and the goodness-of-fit hypothesis. Results are discussed in terms of the transactional model, goodness-of-fit hypothesis, optimal coping, and the importance of perceived control in psychological adjustments. Limitations and future research directions are discussed. Especially the potential role of patient education and its impact on perceptions of control are considered.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type 2 diabetes mellitus represents a daunting self-management challenge due to its complicated daily treatment regimen which includes adhering to diet, exercise, and medication recommendations. Little research has evaluated perceived barriers to diabetes self-care in a group that is at particular risk for diabetic complications: U.S. Latinos. This study had two aims. The first was to provide evidence that experimental and validated self-report instruments selected for this study functioned in a comparable manner in both Spanish and English in a sample of low income, predominantly Spanish-speaking diabetic patients (n = 77). The second aim was to examine hypothesized relationships of selected predictors to two criterion variables measuring health status (i.e., glycosylated hemoglobin A1c and Diabetes Impact) using a method described by Baron & Kenny (1986). Predictors included age, education, and income as covariates, and perceived environmental barriers to self-care, self-efficacy for treatment adherence, fatalistic beliefs (external health locus of control), and Latino cultural diabetes beliefs. Potential moderator and mediator variables of the relationship between perceived barriers to self care and criterion variables included self-efficacy for treatment adherence, fatalistic beliefs and Latino cultural diabetes beliefs. Scales used in this study had coefficient alpha values ranging from .82-.96 in Spanish and .74-.97 in English and also demonstrated strong factor structure integrity. Bivariate correlations indicated that higher scores on perceived barriers to self-care were significantly related to lower self-efficacy scores [r = −.34, p
Download or read book Illness Representations Emotional Distress Coping Strategies and Coping Efficacy as Predictors of Patient Outcomes for Type 2 Diabetes written by Patricia Lynn Hart and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetes mellitus affects 20.8 million Americans in the United States and is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. Acute and chronic disease-related complications can have a devastating effect on the life of individuals with Type 2 diabetes. Reduction in acute and chronic complications can be best achieved by individuals' adhering to appropriate lifestyle changes and maintaining tight glycemic control through a process of self-regulation. Self-regulation treatment decisions and lifestyle behavioral changes can be influenced by physiological and psychosocial factors. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between illness representations, emotional distress, coping strategies, and coping efficacy as predictors of outcomes (self-care behavior and A1c levels) in individuals with type 2 diabetes. A descriptive, correlational design was used to examine the relationship between illness representations, emotional distress, coping strategies, and coping efficacy as predictors of outcomes for self-care behavior and metabolic control in individuals with Type 2 diabetes as it relates to diabetes management. A convenience sample of 119 men (46.2%) and women (53.8%) between the ages of 22 and 93 years of age living in two urban cities located in a southeastern state with documented type 2 diabetes were recruited. Participants were recruited from four endocrinology offices, one internal medicine office, two medical clinics, and three diabetes education centers. The majority of the participants were caucasian (74.8%). Inclusion criteria were that participants a) had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes for at least 1 year or more, (b) were able to read and write in English, (c) were 18 years of age or older, and (d) had an A1c level drawn within the past 30 days. Questionnaire booklets were mailed to participants. Participants' A1c levels were obtained from their medical records. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics including frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, bivariate correlations, multiple linear regressions, and hierarchical multiple linear regressions. Participants perceived their diabetes to be a chronic, moderately cyclical condition with negative consequences and with moderate amounts of symptomatology that greatly influenced their emotional status. Hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis revealed that coping efficacy uniquely accounted for 9% of the variance in self-care behavior. Perceptions of higher coping efficacy were associated with higher beliefs of personal control and treatment control, a greater understanding of diabetes, engagement in higher levels of self-care behavior, and lower A1c levels. In addition, hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis revealed illness representations, particularly timeline cyclical, accounted for 12% of the variance in A1c levels. Perceptions of a more cyclical disease course were predicted of higher A1c levels. Interestingly, a perception of diabetes being a less chronic illness was associated with higher self-care behavior. This study affirms the importance of how illness representations and coping efficacy influence self-care behavior and A1c levels. The findings from this study have important implications for nursing practice in the areas of assessment, diabetes management, coping skills training, behavior modification, motivational interviewing, and diabetes education. Further research is needed to expand the knowledge base and develop targeted interventions related to illness representations, especially timeline cyclical, and coping efficacy in the diabetes population.
Download or read book What are African Americans Diagnosed with Type 1 Or Type II Diabetes Mellitus Perceptions about Diet and Medication Management in Relation to Stress and Coping Mechanisms written by Latasha Gooden and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Diabetes Association reports that excessive stress works against diabetes management by increasing blood glucose levels, inciting negative emotions, and alluring obsessive poor eating habits. The purpose of this research study was to evaluate the perceptions of African Americans diagnosed with type I or type II diabetes mellitus about their diet and medication management in relation to stress and coping mechanisms. The results of this study show a significant relationship between stress and diet/medication regimen and coping and diet/medication regimen. The findings suggest that African American perceptions' about stress in relation to diabetes must be identified and addressed in order for more interventions, strategies, and coping mechanisms based upon current evidence-based research and practice to be implemented by nurses, healthcare providers, clients, families, and communities to assist with optimizing clients' overall health, well-being, satisfaction, and quality of life.
