Book Exploring the Relationship Between Diabetes Distress  Self efficacy  and Glycemic Control in Persons with Type II Diabetes

Download or read book Exploring the Relationship Between Diabetes Distress Self efficacy and Glycemic Control in Persons with Type II Diabetes written by Helen R. Chung and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persons with type II diabetes are faced with the challenging task of maintaining glycemic control by making significant lifestyle changes in the areas of nutrition, exercise, medication management, and glucose testing. Previous research has shown the significant role self-efficacy has on the implementation of self-care behaviors and as a result, on glycemic control. However, many persons with diabetes do not meet the diagnostic criteria for depression and may be experiencing more general psychosocial distress. Due to the multifaceted nature of the disease, persons with diabetes may experience diabetes distress related to the emotional burden that comes with diabetes management, physician-patient relationship, self-care tasks associated with diabetes management, and interpersonal relationships with support system. In this study, the relationship between diabetes-related distress, self-efficacy, and glycemic control were explored in persons with type II diabetes. Additional analysis was conducted to assess whether self-efficacy mediates the relationship between diabetes distress and glycemic control. The results of this study indicated that self-efficacy did not mediate the relationship between diabetes distress and glycemic control. However, diabetes distress was found to be significantly associated with self-efficacy and glycemic control.

Book Environmental Barriers  Self efficacy and the Direct and Indirect Effects of Diabetes specific Cultural Beliefs on Health Status in a Community Sample of Diabetic Patients

Download or read book Environmental Barriers Self efficacy and the Direct and Indirect Effects of Diabetes specific Cultural Beliefs on Health Status in a Community Sample of Diabetic Patients written by Lise Flores and published by . 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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an up-to-date review of behavioral factors in diabetes management across the lifespan: an update on medical management, epidemiology, and prognosis, and utilize an ecological framework to address various aspects of diabetes management for children and adults on the individual, social, community and medical system, and policy levels. The individual level examines biobehavioral and neuroendocrine factors for their role in the etiology of diabetes, as well as various demographic factors involved in health disparities, and specific psychological issues including distress and quality of life, depression and anxiety, eating disorders, and intervention approaches. Zooming out, the social level addresses the role of social support and family influences as well as group and family interventions to promote more effective diabetes management. The community level addresses medical system factors including the patient-physician relationship and transition programs, as well as community and school-based prevention programs. Finally, chapters also address how the policy level impacts diabetes management considering the role of health care, insurance, and school and workplace policy. Topics featured in this book include: Neuroendocrine and biobehavioral influences on diabetes Eating disorders in individuals with diabetes Family influences and family therapies for children and adults with diabetes Depression and anxiety in children and adults with diabetes Behavioral Diabetes is a must-have resource for researchers, graduate students and fellows, as well as clinicians, therapists, and other practitioners involved in diabetes management across the lifespan. A secondary audience comprises individuals working in the community and policy levels, including but not limited to health care and medical systems administrators, as well as school and workplace policymakers. “This book is a comprehensive overview of the extremely important topic of behavioral diabetes. The issues encompassed in this book have evolved greatly over the last few decades and the editors have done a spectacular job in having the key experts on each of the many topics review the literature while at the same time keeping it practical for both clinicians and researchers.” --Irl B.

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

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 Approaches to Behavior written by Janis Roszler and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approaches to Behavior provides information and simple tools that healthcare professionals can use to help patients move beyond feelings that prevent them from benefiting fully from any learning opportunity. Each chapter opens with an introduction to experts’ newest psychological understanding about a common emotion. This is followed by a list of easy techniques healthcare professionals can employ with their patients. Each technique was contributed by experienced mental health experts who counsel people with diabetes. None of these techniques can take the place of the in-depth guidance mental healthcare professionals provide. Instead, this book is a first aid kit that experts can use to help patients start to move past strong emotions and become more receptive to vital information that will improve their lives and help them take control of their diabetes.

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.
