This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: It China, more than 20 million people were diagnosed with diabetes in 2000 and it was estimated there would be 42.3 million people with diabetes by 2030 (Wild, Roglic, Green, Sicree, & King, 2004). Diabetes mellitus self-management (DMSM) is considered the cornerstone for controlling diabetes and preventing diabetic complications. To develop effective interventions to promote DMSM in China, it is critical to identify the factors influencing DMSM relevant to this population. The purposes of this study were to test a hypothesized model describing the effects of individual and environmental factors on DMSM in patients with type 2 diabetes in China, and to test if the estimated effects are the same between two subgroups, patients treated with insulin vs. patients treated without insulin. The individual factors included diabetes knowledge, beliefs of treatment effectiveness, and diabetes self-efficacy. Environmental factors included social support from family members and provider-patient communication. Methods: A cross-sectional survey research design was used in this study. The study was conducted at a major hospital in Beijing China. A convenience sample of 201 Chinese adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who attended the outpatient department of the Endocrinology unit at the hospital from September 2004 to November 2004 was obtained for this study. Data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis was conducted to test the hypothesized model, and examine and explore the relationships between and among the individual and environmental factors and DMSM. Findings: The initial hypothesized model did not fit the observed data. Based on statistical findings and theoretical soundness, the model was modified. The final model had a good fit to the data. The key findings were that belief in treatment effectiveness and diabetes self-efficacy were key proximal factors affecting DMSM. Knowledge and the environmental factors indirectly affected DMSM through belief in treatment effectiveness and self-efficacy. The findings based on the multi-group SEM analysis indicated that patient-provider communication was a more important factor affecting DMSM for the insulin-treated subgroup, while family support was more important for the non-insulin treated subgroup. Conclusions: The good fit of the final model indicated that significant determinants of DMSM described in American studies were also important predictors of DMSM in Chinese with diabetes. The model illustrated that individual and environmental factors affected DMSM both directly and indirectly. Understanding the complex relationships between and among the individual and environmental factors and DMSM helps the practitioner to design intervention programs promoting DMSM using a more comprehensive approach. The practitioner should also be aware of the differences between the subgroups when developing intervention programs.

Book Investigating Community Participation and Subjective Well being for Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Using the International Classification of Functioning  Disability and Health Framework

This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapidly rising prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus and those at risk of developing diabetes call for attention among healthcare professionals in addressing contributing factors to prevent and manage the illness. Type 2 diabetes affects and is affected by many other life-threatening chronic health conditions, as well as factors associated with one's psychosocial adjustment and environmental considerations. The dynamics and complexity of these factors interact with one another to bring significant impact on one's day-to-day living and overall quality of life, specifically subjective well-being. Thorough understanding of their structural interactions informs effective rehabilitation practice to improve health-related outcomes, community participation and subjective well-being. The purpose of this study was to investigate the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model as a way to better understand community participation and subjective well-being for adults with type 2 diabetes. Construct measurements specific to adults with type 2 diabetes corresponding to each ICF components were specified and their interactions were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results from structural equation modeling revealed that the proposed model did not fit the sample data, and the modified model demonstrated mediocre goodness-of-fit, providing inconclusive results regarding the usefulness of the model. The correlations among variables varied from small to large. However, the final model demonstrated the significance of the contextual factors of diabetes management self-efficacy (personal factor) positively influencing adherence to diabetes self-management and diabetes condition; and perceived social support (environmental factor) positively influencing diabetes management self-efficacy and outcome variables of community participation and subjective well-being. As hypothesized, mediating variables were identified. The results of this study need to be interpreted with careful consideration to limitations such as research and sampling designs, sample size, sample representativeness, and measurement errors. Clinical interventions incorporating self-efficacy and social support in diabetes management are likely to facilitate active participation in the community, thus leading to subjective well-being for people with type 2 diabetes. Additional clinical and future research implication, and study limitations were discussed.

Book The Impact of Illness Perception  Diabetes Management Self efficacy  and Emotional Distress on Type 2 Diabetes Self management Among Americans with Chinese Backgrounds

Download or read book The Impact of Illness Perception Diabetes Management Self efficacy and Emotional Distress on Type 2 Diabetes Self management Among Americans with Chinese Backgrounds written by Ya-Ching Huang and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This descriptive correlational study explored the relationships of diabetes illness perception (consequences, personal control, treatment control, and cause), emotional distress (diabetes distress and depressive symptoms), and diabetes management self-efficacy with diabetes self-management activities; the mediator effects of diabetes management self-efficacy on the relationship between diabetes illness perception (consequences, personal control, treatment control, and cause) and self-management activities; and the moderator effects of emotional distress (diabetes distress and depressive symptoms) on the relationship between diabetes illness perception and self-management activities among Americans with Chinese backgrounds. The conceptual framework was based on an adaptation of Leventhal’s Common- Sense Model of self-regulation. A hundred and fifty-three survey participants with Type 2 diabetes were recruited from Chinese speaking communities in three major metropolitan areas in Texas. Participants average age was 69.1 years old, female (52.3%), and had at least a high school education. Their average acculturation score was 14.82 ± 7.66 (relatively low). The average number of comorbidities was 1.30 ± 1.27; participants were diagnosed with T2DM for an average of 13.43 ± 10.20 years; 14.4% were prescribed insulin. A mean item score for diabetes self-management self-efficacy was 7.4 out of 10. Diabetes distress mean score was 2.36, indicating a moderate level of distress. The average score of depressive symptoms was 11.25, and 24.8% of the participants met the clinical definition of depression. Participants performed diabetes management activities about 4.3 days out of the preceding 7 days. The significant bivariate correlations among variables included older age, longer years of diabetes, insulin usage, lower acculturation level; and participants with higher self-efficacy were more likely to report having better self-management activities. Neither illness perceptions nor emotional distress were found to be significant predictors of diabetes self-management in hierarchical multiple models. However, age, duration of diabetes, and self-efficacy were shown to significantly predict self-management. Self-efficacy also significantly mediated the relationship between illness perceptions and self-management activities; and the relationship between emotional distress and self-management activities. These findings contribute to our understanding of the factors that facilitate patients of Chinese American backgrounds to perform self-management activities on a daily basis

Abstract: Physical inactivity has been widely regarded as a leading cause of non-communicable chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension. Physical activity (PA) has been shown to be the most effective self-care behaviour in alleviating T2DM, an incurable chronic disease. Previous behavioural modification programs intended to encourage and maintain PA behaviour among middle-aged and older patients with T2DM have had inconsistent results. PA has remained as a recommended diabetes self-care behaviour with the lowest compliance rate in many regions of the world. This thesis proposes a program focusing on health literacy (HL) as a means to nurture T2DM patients' ability to navigate, read, understand, process, comprehend and act on health information, and thereby modify PA behaviour. This approach is proposed for three reasons: (1) the flood of available health information of varying quality affects patients' decision making with regard to self-care behaviour; (2) the high prevalence of low HL in the US, Europe, and Asia affects the comprehension of self-care behaviour programs; (3) because 50% of older T2DM patients are impaired cognitively due to the impact of aging and hence have difficulty in carrying out suitable self-care behaviour without proper guidance. All of these factors can influence the effectiveness of PA behavioural modification programs designed to help middle-aged and older T2DM patients make self-care decisions based on sound health information according to their level of HL. This thesis reviews existing HL-oriented programs and models and validates the instrument used to examine the effects of a culture-, language-, disease- and age-specific, theory-based, HL-oriented program on PA behaviour among middle-aged and older patients with T2DM. In the study, 324 middle-aged and older Chinese T2DM patients recruited from two hospital diabetes centres in Hong Kong were divided randomly into intervention and control groups. The intervention group participated in an HL-oriented program on PA behaviour. The program significantly improved the mean of PA behaviour of patients in the intervention group from a sedentary level (under 1,000 average Metabolic Equivalents/minutes/week; 4463 mean number of steps per week) to an internationally acceptable standard (over 2,000 average METs-minutes/week; 7459 mean number of steps per week), and this improvement was maintained at three- and six-month follow-ups. The PA behaviour of the control group actually subsided. This study showed that a program addressing and nurturing patients' ability to explore, understand and manage health information on T2DM and PA was effective in improving the PA behaviour of middle-aged and older adults with T2DM. This thesis is the first study to use objective measurements to evaluate the effect of a culture-, language-, disease- and age-specific, theory-based, HL-oriented program on PA behaviour. It extends the generalizability of culture and language-sensitive HL oriented programming from the United States (where previous HL studies were conducted) to China. The study can serve as a model for future investigations of self-care behaviour among patients with different chronic illnesses in various regions of China.

Abstract: Objective: To systematically review the effect of self-management education on diabetic control in type 2 diabetes Research design and methods: PubMed was searched for English-language articles published between 2010 and 2013. All the studies were original articles selected manually and used randomized control trials generating results of self-management education in people with type 2 diabetes referring to diabetic control. Relevant data were divided and tabulated into factors of population characteristics, interventions and outcomes. Interventions were classified into three sections as collaborative information intervention, lifestyle intervention, and skills teaching intervention based on the patterns of education. Outcomes were categorized into glycemic control, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and nephropathy risk factors. Results: A total of 24 studies were identified of initial 41 articles for this review. Effects of self-management education on glycemic control were demonstrated to be positive both in short-term (10 months) follow-up, but more positive effects in short-term follow-up. The same effectiveness happens to CVD risk factors, including lipids, weight and blood pressure. On the other hand, with short-term follow-up, teaching skills intervention of self-management education is more effective than collaborative information intervention and lifestyle intervention on reducing glycemic control and CVD risk factors. Also with long-term follow-up, teaching skills intervention of self-management education had more effectiveness than collaborative information intervention and lifestyle intervention on reducing glycemic control. However, few studies including CVD risk factors in the long-term follow-up, so it is difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of on CVD risk factors with long-term follow-up. Conclusions: Evidences supports the positive effectiveness of self-management education with collaborative information intervention, lifestyle intervention and skills teaching intervention among type 2 diabetes patients on diabetic control, in both short-term follow-up and long-term follow-up, but short-term follow-up is more effective than long-term follow-up. Further research is needed to develop self-management interventions to maintain long-term follow-up effects on glycemic control, CVD risk factors and other diabetes complications.

Book Patient Knowledge  Perceived Self efficacy  and Self management Among Patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus

Download or read book Patient Knowledge Perceived Self efficacy and Self management Among Patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus written by Razel Bacuetes Milo and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States (U.S.), Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has reached epidemic portions with a prevalence of approximately 29.1 million people and is the seventh-leading cause of death (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2014; Healthy People 2020, n.d.). The U.S. spends an estimated $245 billion in direct and indirect medical costs. The indirect costs include disability and lost productivity (CDC, 2014). Previous studies focusing on diabetes education acknowledge the significance of self-management activities in managing T2DM. Extant studies examining self-management and treatment outcomes for persons with T2DM have paid limited attention to the relationship between patients' disease perceptions, diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, self-management practices, and glycemic control. The purpose of this investigation was to identify factors and outcomes associated with healthy diabetes self-management practices among a cohort of individuals with T2DM residing in southern California. Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model (Pender et al., 2015) guided the study. Specific aims include: 1) Provide conceptual clarity for the phenomenon of perception through a concept analysis using Walker and Avant (2011) methodology, 2) Identify factors and outcomes associated with diabetes self-management through a systematic review of the literature, and 3) Examine relationships among perceived self-efficacy, specific patient characteristics, diabetic knowledge, self-management practices, and HbA1C values among a sample of individuals with T2DM living in southern California. The research aims provided the structure to generate new scientific data and evidence towards the improvement of self-management practices and those characteristics leading to improved HbA1C outcomes.

Book Diabetes Knowledge  Self Effecacy  Social Support  and Diabetes Self management Affecting Type II Diabetes Outcomes In Qataris

Download or read book Diabetes Knowledge Self Effecacy Social Support and Diabetes Self management Affecting Type II Diabetes Outcomes In Qataris written by Fatemah Ali Pouladi (RN) and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Type II diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing worldwide, leading to greater health expenses, and its complications were responsible for 4.6 million deaths in 2011 (International Diabetes Federation [IDF], 2011). This study investigates how diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, social support, and self-management relate to diabetes control. Self-efficacy and social support were examined, respectively, as a mediator and a moderator. The hypothesis is that there is a directional relationship between the concepts of diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, social support, self-management, and the outcome, glycemic control. Method: A convenience sample of 259 Qataris with type II diabetes mellitus were recruited from Hamad Medical Corporation’s outpatient clinics and Home Healthcare Services (HHCS) in Qatar. Using a cross-sectional correlational design, correlation/regression coefficient tests were used to examine the relationships among these variables and their effect on the dependent variable, glycemic control. Participants responded to a set of questionnaires independently, via telephone, or in-person interviews. The following instruments were used: the Diabetes Knowledge Test (DKT), Self-Efficacy for Diabetes (SED) scale, Social Support by Medical Outcomes Study (MOS), the Self-Management Profile for Type 2 Diabetes (SMP-T2D), and the patients' glycemic control was measured by glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c). The collected data were entered into a computer database and patient confidentiality was strictly maintained. Pearson correlation coefficients, multiple, and hierarchical multiple regression were used to analyze the relationships among the variable; in addition, the mediating effect of self-efficacy, and the moderating effect of social support were tested. Results: The study sample’s age averaged 50.7 years (SD=13.0). The duration of diabetes averaged 9.30 years (SD=8.1); the average blood glucose was 176.8 mg/dl (SD= 77.8), and the average HbA1c was 8.6% (SD= 2.2). There was no relationship between diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, social support, self-management and glycemic control for adult Qataris with type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, self-efficacy did not mediate the relationship between diabetes knowledge and self-management, nor did social support moderate the relationship between self-management and HbA1c. Conclusion: No relationships were found in this sample of Qatari older adults with type 2 diabetes. Future research is needed with larger samples to examine how these and other cultural factors explain glycemic control in this population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of type 2 diabetes on Southeast Asian (SEA) communities in the United States—a group that includes Cambodians, Hmong, Laotians, and Vietnamese—is driven by cultural, historical, and logistical factors. Understanding these factors is a fi rst step in identifying potential interventions. Though there is great diversity within the SEA subgroup, its members are united by a strong sense of their respective communities and a reverence for local leaders. Effective programs to overcome barriers to type 2 diabetes prevention and control must capitalize on these strengths, while taking into account the unique requirements of this population. The purpose of this paper is to: 1. Increase awareness among health care providers, decision makers, and organizations serving Asian Americans of the risk for type 2 diabetes in SEAs and potential impacting factors. 2. Highlight data collection issues, barriers to care, and special health care needs, and introduce successful models in reaching Southeast Asian populations. 3. Identify resources available to organizations, government agencies, health care providers, and others who work with SEAs in the United States. This monograph discusses the following: The data on diabetes prevalence, rates of complications, and health care quality measures among SEAs are limited; Overweight as a risk factor for type 2 diabetes in SEAs—and Asian Americans in general—is underrecognized. The risk for type 2 diabetes increases at a lower body mass index for Asians than for other ethnic groups. Qualitative evidence from focus groups with Asian Americans indicates many Asians believe themselves to be at lower risk for type 2 diabetes because of smaller average body build; SEAs experience major obstacles to diabetes diagnosis and management, including inadequate access to culturally appropriate health care, lack of insurance coverage, and language barriers. For example, many SEAs are unaware of their federally mandated right to interpreter services and do not request these services; Low cultural acceptance of preventive health services among SEAs reduces opportunities for risk assessment, opportunistic testing, timely diabetes diagnosis, and interventions for diabetes prevention and management; Diagnosis and culturally appropriate treatment of concomitant mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are key in diabetes management; Mental health conditions such as PTSD (resulting from trauma and torture), anxiety, and depression are highly prevalent among SEAs and further complicate diabetes self-care; and Cultural competency among health care providers who treat SEAs is critical to successful interventions for diabetes prevention and control.

Book Examining Biobehavioral Variables and Predictors Associated with Type 2 Diabetes Self  Management

Download or read book Examining Biobehavioral Variables and Predictors Associated with Type 2 Diabetes Self Management written by Karin A. Emery and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type 2 diabetes mellitus self-management is a challenging process that brings forward a variety of emotional responses. The purpose of this work was to explore relationships between diabetes distress, self-efficacy and resilience and outcomes of glycosylated hemoglobin, quality of life and health status. A cross sectional descriptive design was used for this pilot study of 78 individuals enrolled from an Endocrine clinic in the Midwest United States and a Primary Care clinic in the southeast United States. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to characterize the sample and model variables. Spearman's correlation was completed to identify relationships among variables. A stepwise building approach was used to identify significant interactions and determine predictors of the study outcomes. The results of this study confirm the presence of facilitators and barriers in type 2 diabetes mellitus self-management and their relationships with distal outcomes. The findings demonstrate that diabetes distress is a predictor of health status and quality of life. The findings of this study provide a link to other facilitator and barrier variables such as provider collaboration, diabetes self-management education, treatment regimen, ethnicity and years since diagnosis which can be incorporated into the comprehensive theoretical model. This study contributes to the understanding of the emotional aspect of diabetes as it relates to self-management of T2DM. Continuing this work will allow researchers to examine and better understand important factors of self-management. This ongoing work will hopefully lead to improved support in self-management efforts and better outcomes.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background:Singapore is an urbanised Southeast Asian city-state facing a growing chronic disease burden and ageing population. A 2015 International Diabetes Federation report declared Singapore as having the second-highest proportion of diabetics among the worldu2019s developed nations. The prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in the local population was 11.3% in 2010. This prevalence is expected to grow, with a study by Phan and colleagues (2014) projecting an increase in T2DM prevalence in Singaporeu2019s adult population to 15.3% by 2050, and a disproportionate burden of T2DM among ethnic Indians and Malays in comparison with the Chinese.Aims:This qualitative study sought to identify and explore the factors that influence T2DM prevention and management among T2DM patients in Singapore.Methods:53 in-depth interviews were conducted. Interviewees were purposively sampled. Interviews were with T2DM patients spanning across several categories: general population, lower socioeconomic status, and newly-diagnosed. Interviews were conducted in English, Malay, and Chinese. The average duration of each interview was 45 minutes. The resulting data were translated and transcribed into English and thematically analysed using QSR NVIVO 11.Results:Of the 53 interviewees, 25 were T2DM patients from the general population, 21 were T2DM patients of low socioeconomic status, and 7 were newly diagnosed (defined as clinical diagnosis

Book Self Management of Type 2 Diabetes in Appalachina Women

Download or read book Self Management of Type 2 Diabetes in Appalachina Women written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender, minority, and regional-related disparities have been documented in diabetes management. Self-efficacy, the belief in one's ability to carry out the actions mandated by a task, has been identified as a key predictor in glycemic control; however, it has not been investigated in rural, female populations. This crosssectional, correlation investigation examined the relationships among self-efficacy, depression, and diabetes self-care management in women living in Appalachia with type 2 diabetes. Using Banduraâs Social Cognitive Theory, 85 women ages âÆ 21 with type 2 diabetes for a minimum of 6 months who were residents in Appalachia completed the 1) Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale, 2) Beck Depression Inventory-II, 3)Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities, and a 4) Diabetes Health-Related Demographics tool. Descriptive statistics detailed the sample characteristics. ANOVA, chi-square, and independent ttests were computed for between group differences as they related to depression, various physiologic states, presence of self-efficacy sources, and glycosylated hemoglobin. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to describe the relationships between selfefficacy, depression, and self-care management. Multiple linear regression analyses examined prediction models for glucose control while controlling for potential confounders. Eighty-four Caucasian and one African-American enrolled in the study with a mean age of 61. The mean time since diabetes diagnosis was 7 years with a mean glycosylated hemoglobin value of 6.9% (SD=1.3). Higher self-efficacy scores were associated with a lower glycosylated hemoglobin (r-.30, p=.005) and ability to choose foods best to maintain a healthy eating plan(r-.415, p=.001). The sources of self-efficacy associated with enhanced self-care management were mastery experience and vicarious experience. There were no significant relationships between self-efficacy and depression or depression and glycosylated hemoglobin. The diabetes self-c.
