This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background and Significance: Type 2 diabetes is one of the fastest growing chronic diseases in the United States affecting one in four adults ages 65 and older. Proper disease management is crucial. It involves not only technical skills, but social support and social problem-solving abilities to prevent barriers to regimen adherence. However, the impact of social support and social problem-solving on adherence is not well understood. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships of social support and social problem-solving to adherence in adults with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive, correlation design was used. One hundred and one patients participated in the study. Social support was measured using the Social Support Scale for Self-Care in Middle-Aged Patients with Type 2 Diabetes (S4-MAD). Problem solving was measured using the Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised Short Form (SPSI-R:S). Adherence was measured by calculating the average blood glucose over seven days as recorded in the glucometer. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analyses were used to analyze the data. Results: H1 was supported. The findings showed that there was a significant relationship (rho= -0.32; p=0.001) between social support and S4MAD nutrition subscale; 4% of the variance in adherence was accounted for by social support in the nutrition subscale. H2 was not supported. Specifically, there was no significant relationship (rho=-0.20; p=0.41) between problem solving and adherence. Less than 1 % of the variance in adherence was accounted for by problem solving. H3 was not supported. There was no significant interaction between social support and problem solving on adherence. Conclusion: This study suggests that there are other domains that need to be examined as predictors of adherence to blood glucose monitoring among adult diabetic patients.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetes is a rapidly growing health issue in the United States and across the globe, and is currently the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to other health complications, including coronary heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, vision loss, and Alzheimer's disease. Diabetes also attributes to a large financial burden in the United States, costing an estimated $245 billion among individuals diagnosed with diabetes in 2012 and a 41 percent increase from 2007. Blood glucose control is essential to reducing diabetes complications and related health care costs. Social resources are central to adherence of these self-management practices, particularly in middle-aged and older adults. Past research has examined the effect of social resources on health behaviors and health outcomes, but little has been done to examine the role of chronic stress on this relationship. Chronic stress is important to diabetes control because stress can impair an individual's ability to perform diabetes self-management behaviors. The purpose of this research was to fully identify: 1.) predictors of four diabetes control typologies, 2.) if chronic stress mediates the relationship between social embeddedness and diabetes control, and 3.) whether perceived social support moderates the relationship between chronic stress and diabetes control. Data from the 2006-2012 waves of the Health and Retirement Study, a nationally-representative study of adults in the United States, was utilized for these analyses. Study 1 found that perceived diabetes control predicted objective diabetes control. Multinomial logistic regression was employed to determine that age, race, income, self-rated health, perceived control over health, presence of ADLs and IADLs, duration of diabetes, restless sleep, smoking status, and taking oral medication and insulin to treat diabetes were significant predictors of at least one of the four diabetes control typologies, 1.) truly controlled, 2.) falsely controlled, 3.) falsely uncontrolled, and 4.) truly uncontrolled. The results of Study 1 suggest that other factors are associated with the disconnect between perceived and objective diabetes control. Study 2 found limited evidence of a relationship between social embeddedness and 1.) perceived and 2.) objective diabetes control. Generalized structural equation modeling was used to examine the mediating effect of 1.) number of chronic stressors and 2.) perceived stress on the relationship between social embeddedness and both types of diabetes control. One social embeddedness factor, contact with children through meeting in person and speaking on the phone, was fully mediated by perceived stress in its relationship with perceived diabetes control. However, perceived stress did not mediate the association between this social embeddedness factor and objective diabetes control. The results of Study 2 suggest that social embeddedness does not impact diabetes control in the presence of chronic stress, but that support from a social network may. Study 3 examined the relationship between perceived stress and five diabetes control outcomes, 1.) perceived diabetes control, 2.) objective diabetes control, 3.) use of oral medication to treat diabetes, 4.) use of insulin to treat diabetes, and 5.) insulin compliance based on doctor's recommendation. This study also explored the moderating effect of perceived social support on the relationship between perceived stress and the five diabetes control outcomes. Overall, the findings from Study 3 suggest that perceived negative social support in the presence of high stress may hinder diabetes control and control-related behaviors, and that total social support from a spouse in the presence of high stress was predictive of insulin compliance. The project ultimately illustrated how perceptions of stress and support may impact perceptions of diabetes control and control-related behaviors, but not objective control. However, results of this study should be interpreted with caution because many of the psychosocial measures analyzed were not from validated survey instruments. Overall, future research must focus on how perceptions, whether of control, stress, or support, impact diabetes-related behaviors, and ultimately objective diabetes control. Public health programming can help to improve accurate perceptions of diabetes control by strengthening access to social resources and mitigating the impact of chronic stressors.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic disease including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are responsible for most of the deaths in the United States. Over 25 percent of adults (65 years of age and older) have diabetes. Medication adherence and controlling blood glucose are central to diabetes management. Non-adherence to recommended therapies contributes to adverse health outcomes, complications, and death in older adults with diabetes. Among older adults with diabetes, a highly functional social network is associated with their increased health-promoting self-management behavior. Strong social support is a positive predictor of medication adherence. Guided by the Social Cognitive Theory, this study aimed to determine whether personal factors and social network characteristics as, environmental factors predict diabetes self-care in adults 55 years and older. This cross-sectional study collected and analyzed quantitative survey, and qualitative interview, data using a non-experimental approach. A convenience sample of 129 older adults with diabetes from 10 of the 12 states in the Mid-West Region of the United States was identified through the Qualtrics recruitment platform to participate in this study. Participants were asked to provide information related to their socio-demographic characteristics, including their diabetes diagnosis, reported health status, other diabetes-related conditions, and diabetes control. Participants were also required to provide information on their diabetes self-care, and their interaction with individuals in their Ego social networks. Most of the participants were female (51.9%), White (93.6%), diagnosed with diabetes for more than three years, and reported other diabetes-related health conditions (80.6%). A sub-sample of self-selected participants completed an interview to determine how the individual with the strongest tie in their social network influenced their diabetes self-care. Based on the statistical analyses, including regression analyses, diabetes control and reported health status were statistically significant predictors of older adults' diabetes self-care. Social network composition (specifically, the Dietician and Caregiver) and the importance of communication between older adults and individuals in their social network were also found to be statistically significant predictors of their diabetes self-care. The qualitative analysis found that most individuals who represent the strongest ties, and the weakest ties, in the social networks of older adults encouraged or promoted their diabetes self-care practices. Also, for the majority of older adults, their diabetes self-care practices positively affected their relationships with the individuals in their social network. Results of this study indicate that based on the constructs of the Social Cognitive Theory, improving personal factors such as supporting older adults' diabetes control, and their health status could lead to improved diabetes self-care. Additionally, adjusting for adjusting the environmental factors by providing access to healthcare practitioners such as Dieticians, and to Caregivers in older adults' social networks, and communication with social network members might improve their diabetes self-care. The theoretical implication for health education includes encouraging positive health behavior through the modifiable personal and environmental factors that influence older adults' performance of daily diabetes self-care regimens. Additionally, expanded opportunities for social interaction of older adults in health education programs could lead to positive health outcomes in older adults.
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.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to provide a comprehensive examination of personal characteristics, health status, diabetes experience, and perceived social support from family and perceived social support from friends as predictors of self-management in adults with diabetes mellitus. Perceived social support was measured using the Perceived Social Support from Friends and Family Scale (Procidano & Heller, 1983). Self-management was measured using the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Scale (Toobert, Hampson, & Glasgow, 2000), as well as a hemoglobin A1c test, a biomedical indicator of self-management efforts. Participants included 50 individuals who reported moderate levels of support from family and friends, but significantly more support from family members. Participants also reported the most adherence to taking medications and least adherence to exercising. Additionally, a modicum of support from family was associated with high adherence to diet and exercise. Economic and diabetes intervention implications are discussed, as well directions for future research.

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.

This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem: According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes affects approximately 20.8 million people in the United States. Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) helps diabetics adhere to better levels of diabetes self-management resulting in improved blood sugar levels, thereby postponing complications of this progressive disease. Studies show that DM patients with adequate social support manage their diabetes more effectively and improve quality of life. Purpose and Scope: This evidence-based practice project sought to describe the level of diabetic self-care adherence before an after an educational intervention with or without a buddy. By integrating best research evidence with clinical expertise inviting buddies will enhance effectiveness of DSME classes at a selected healthcare facility. Goal: The goal of this practice change project was to provide evidence-based support that DM patients attending a DSME class with a buddy resulted in improved adherence to self-care activities compared to DM patients attending without a buddy. Objectives: Review research related to buddy support as a social support mechanism to enhance successful life-style change interventions. 1) Collect data as determined by the administration of the SDSCA to DM patients attending DSME classes. 2) Compare recorded responses to the SDSCA measure for DM patients attending DSME classes with and without a buddy at the initial class and at the 3-month follow-up. 3) Evaluate and compare participant AIC levels before and 3-months after the DSME. 4) Identify implications for clinical practice. 5) Identify study limitations and implications for further study. Plan: Phase One-Secure support from the diabetes educator and CEO of the hospital, seek approval for use of the SCSCA and obtain IRB approval. Prepare and print a demographics page and print the SDSCA measure. Phase Two-Collect SDSCA measure data with A1C levels at the initial class and at the 3-month follow-up class. Phase Three-Compare the results, perform the statistical analysis, and write up the findings. Outcomes and Results: T-test for the effect of the buddy on the A1C levels revealed a significant difference for those attending with a buddy. General diet choices were not improved for those attending with a buddy. Specific diet choices for those attending with a buddy were statistically significant. Each of the other constructs showed positive improvements and while not statistically significant, they were clinically significant for participants attending with a buddy compared to those attending without a buddy.
