Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A clinic population in Northern Texas had increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) due to food choices, sedentary lifestyles, and stress, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. This paper presents an evidenced-base practice (EBP) change project addressing uncontrolled T2DM in adults at a private practice in Northern Texas involving the implementation of an educational intervention for patients with uncontrolled T2DM at the clinical practice setting. Outcomes were measured by using the Revised Diabetes Knowledge Test as the measurement tool and tracking changes in glycemic index of the participants pre and post intervention. Data analysis revealed an increase in knowledge acquisition and a reduction in glycemic index.. As a result of the findings of this EBP project, policy changes were made in the clinical practice setting, to include diabetes education as part of the treatment regimen. Keywords: type 2 diabetes and diabetes education, patient education and diabetes, type 2 diabetes education and patient outcomes. " -- Abstract

Download or read book Managing Diabetes and Hyperglycemia in the Hospital Setting written by Boris Draznin and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the number of patients with diabetes increases annually, it is not surprising that the number of patients with diabetes who are admitted to the hospital also increases. Once in the hospital, patients with diabetes or hyperglycemia may be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit, require urgent or elective surgery, enteral or parenteral nutrition, intravenous insulin infusion, or therapies that significantly impact glycemic control (e.g., steroids). Because many clinical outcomes are influenced by the degree of glycemic control, knowledge of the best practices in inpatient diabetes management is extremely important. The field of inpatient management of diabetes and hyperglycemia has grown substantially in the last several years. This body of knowledge is summarized in this book, so it can reach the audience of hospitalists, endocrinologists, nurses and other team members who take care of hospitalized patients with diabetes and hyperglycemia.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Diabetes is a chronic disease which is in pandemic proportions. It has been predicted that the number of patients with diabetes worldwide will increase to 360 million by the year 2030, twice the current number. This disease is associated with significant morbidity and mortality resulting from micro and macro vascular complications, ranked as the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, and the number one cause of lower limb amputation. Both the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the American Association of Diabetes Educators agree that the core component of management and control of the disease is adequate self-care management and education. This project offers an evidenced based practice change project that focuses on a teaching method that has been proven to be effective in teaching patients with diabetes, self-care management. An integrative review of the literature revealed that using the teach-back method when educating patients with diabetes about self-care measures is an invaluable tool. Teach-back is a method of providing health information to the patient on a level that is more easily understood. This is a three-part process that involves assessment, feedback, and evaluation for comprehension of health information. Staff reported knowledge gained after an educational intervention about how to use teach-back when educating clients. And clients reported increase in self-efficacy and confidence with self-care management of diabetes. By enhancing staff knowledge and client confidence, potentially debilitating and/ or fatal complications are decreased, adherence to disease management is increased and clients feels more accountable for their own health. Key words: Teach-back, education, knowledge, confidence, and closed loop communication. " -- Abstract

Download or read book The Effect of Diabetes Self management Education Using Simulation for Persons Diagnosed with Type II Diabetes written by Lauren Miley and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 30 million Americans have been diagnosed with diabetes with 90 to 95% of these patients having Type II (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2021). Diabetes self-management education (DSME) is a cost-effective but underutilized intervention for patients (CDC, 2021). There have been few studies conducted to examine the effect of simulation as a patient education method. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effect of a simulation-based educational intervention on diabetes self-care management. Methods: Subjects were adults diagnosed with diabetes with a glycated hemoglobin test (HbA1c) greater than or equal to eight, obtained within the past six months. The participants were randomized into the simulation or educational handout group. The instrument used was the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ), which assessed self-care interventions required for glycemic control (Schmitt, 2013). Both groups completed the DSMQ pretest and demographic survey, and then completed the DSMQ again at six weeks post intervention. Results: No formal comparisons were made due to low sample. The mean total DSMQ score was in 7.6 the simulation group and 5.9 in the handout group at pretest. The mean total DSMQ score was 9.1 in the simulation group and 7.5 in the handout group at posttest. Conclusions: The study suggested that immersive learning experiences may be effective in adults with diabetes, regardless of time since diagnosis. More formal education is needed for patients with type II diabetes, especially regarding nutrition. Further studies are needed to further explore the gaps on the use of simulation in patient education.
