Book Self Regulation Theory and Self monitoring of Blood Glucose Behavior in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Download or read book Self Regulation Theory and Self monitoring of Blood Glucose Behavior in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus written by Jennifer E. F. Ward and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study examined self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) as part of a selfregulatory process of health decision-making using the Self-Regulation Model of illness perceptions, or Common Sense Model. Participants were N=185 individuals with type 2 diabetes from a specialty diabetes clinic prescribed subcutaneous insulin or other injectable diabetes medication at least daily. Collected information included both medical chart data and self-report questionnaires completed prior receiving lab results. Self-care burden was generally high; the modal prescribed times per day of injecting insulin was 4 with modal SMBG recommendations of 3-4 times per day. Participants reported high adherence to prescribed medication regimens, varied aherence to diet recommednations, and low engagement in exercise. Specific hypotheses were developed to examine the relationship between illness coherence and illness control beliefs (IPQ), SMBG decisionmaking behavior, and outcomes including diabetes distress (PAID) and hemoglobin A1c level. These hypotheses were not supported. Supplemental analyses revealed that SMBG decision-making use was related to illness perceptions, including a positive relationship with personal control and coherence beliefs, but not treatment control, and a negative relationship with both outcome variables (A1c at baseline and PAID score). Both treatment and personal control beliefs were not associated with glucose control outcomes, suggesting that illness beliefs alone do not explain why some individuals are more successful at managing their diabetes than others. Coherence was found to differ by education level and SES and greatly vary in an otherwise relatively homogenous sample. Study findings suggest that illness perceptions play an important role in the process of SMBG use for decision-making as it relates to glucose control and diabetes distress. Results also point to possible clinical targets such as illness coherence and diabetes distress. The study provides a foundation for future research related to SMBG as a decision-making strategy.

Book The Routines of Decision Making

Download or read book The Routines of Decision Making written by Tilmann Betsch and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience is currently a hot theme in decision making.

Book Routledge International Handbook of Self Control in Health and Well Being

Download or read book Routledge International Handbook of Self Control in Health and Well Being written by Denise de Ridder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to prioritise long-term goals above short-term gratifications is crucial to living a healthy and happy life. We are bombarded with temptations, whether from fast-food or faster technologies, but the psychological capacity to manage our lives within such a challenging environment has far-reaching implications for the well-being not only of the individual, but also society as a whole. The Routledge International Handbook of Self-Control in Health and Wellbeing is the first comprehensive handbook to map this burgeoning area of research by applying it to health outcomes and personal well-being. Including contributions from leading scholars worldwide, the book incorporates new research findings that suggest that simply inhibiting our immediate impulses isn’t the whole story; there may be more options to improve self-control than simply by suppressing the ego. Divided into six coherent sections, the book provides an overview of the research base before discussing a range of interventions to help improve self-control in different contexts, from smoking or drinking too much to developing self-control over aggression or spending money. The only definitive handbook on this far-reaching topic, this essential work will appeal to researchers and students across health and social psychology, as well as related health sciences.

The conference provides an environment for clinicians, researchers, health IT professionals, industry and consumers to integrate, educate and share the knowledge which drives innovative thinking, and this year’s theme, ‘Today’s best practice, innovation today and preparing for tomorrow’, focuses on the important issues of connecting the system, being smart with data, and enhancing the practitioner and consumer experience in healthcare interactions. The papers presented here reflect this theme, highlighting cutting-edge research evidence, technology updates and innovations from the digital transformation of the healthcare sector. Covering a wide spectrum of work, and encompassing major theoretical concepts, examples of key applications of new technologies and important new developments in the field of health informatics, the book will be of interest to all those working in the healthcare sector.

Book Feasibility of an Educational and Psychosocial Intervention Targeting Self regulation Strategies in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Download or read book Feasibility of an Educational and Psychosocial Intervention Targeting Self regulation Strategies in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus written by Katlyn M. Pawelczyk and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains a significant public health concern. Few lifestyle intervention trials have evaluated the effectiveness of a self-regulatory approach to an educational lifestyle program for adults with T2DM. Self-regulation encompasses mechanisms, which describe deliberate and subconscious methods individuals use to pursue and attain goals. Goal Setting Theory (GST) and the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) examine specific theoretical constructs: what motivates a person to initiate behavior change, how they take action, and how they maintain action. Psychological self-regulation models like Hope Theory and Construal Level Theory (CLT) aim to expose the fluctuations in the mental process of behavioral change which lead to failure or success in goal pursuit and attainment. Educational interventions incorporating behavior change theories and self-regulation principles could provide more effective T2DM management. Objective: To evaluate theoretical determinants, and behavioral and clinical outcomes before and after a group-based lifestyle intervention targeting self-regulation strategies in adults with T2DM; the Pathways Lifestyle Program (PLP). Methods: PLP is a novel, interdisciplinary lifestyle intervention built upon Goal Setting Theory, Health Action Process Approach, and self-regulatory techniques. The 10-week intervention emphasized nutrition and physical activity education combined with strategies and support for overcoming obstacles faced during behavior change. Goals for the intervention included: (1) consume = 3 low glycemic index (GI) servings/day; (2) achieve = 150 minutes/week of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA); and (3) achieve or maintain an A1c of = 7.0% via fingerstick sample. Overweight or obese participants (n=19) aged >21 years old, diagnosed with T2DM >1 year, and not requiring insulin therapy were recruited. Three, 24-hour dietary recalls were used to assess dietary intake, and wrist-worn accelerometry assessed change in MVPA. Results: Significant changes for action and coping planning, action self-efficacy, hope, percentage of time spent sedentary, and diastolic blood pressure were observed from pre- to post-intervention (all p =0.05). Increases in MVPA trended towards significance (p=0.07). Mean (±SE) change in total GI (-2.67±1.92; p=0.19) and glycemic load (-23.5±14.93;p=0.14) indicated improvement although were not statistically significant. There were no significant changes in consumption of low GI servings, body mass index, or A1c. Conclusions: Feasibility and proof of concept regarding an integrated theoretical approach to lifestyle change was successfully demonstrated in this preliminary study. Additional research is needed to fully implement the intervention with a sample size adequately powered to evaluate intervention efficacy. Results from this study suggest that with modification, a larger, randomized control trial has high likelihood of success.

Book Exploring the Interaction between Health promoting and Health Risk Behaviours in Health

Download or read book Exploring the Interaction between Health promoting and Health Risk Behaviours in Health written by Huixuan Zhou and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-05-28 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health-related behaviours play positive or negative roles in people’s health. For instance, health risk behaviours, such as sedentary behaviours (e.g., binge-watching TV and playing computer games), the use of alcohol, tobacco, or other substances, and lack of sleep, have been found to negatively affect the physical and mental health of people. On the other hand, some studies show that health-promoting behaviours, such as physical activity and healthy dietary habits, can mitigate or reverse the negative effects of health risk behaviours on health outcomes. In the meantime, some studies indicate that the harmful effects of some health risk behaviours may not be mitigated by health-promoting behaviours. For instance, some studies show that sedentary behaviours and physical activity are independently associated with some physical and mental health outcomes; interventions to increase physical activity with and without decreasing sedentary time lead to different health outcomes. Clearly more research is needed to show the interaction between health-promoting behaviours and health risk behaviours in health, which could shed light on the management of health-related behaviours.

Book Handbook of Psychology and Diabetes

Download or read book Handbook of Psychology and Diabetes written by Clare Bradley and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 442 pages. 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.

Book Exercise Adherence in Persons with Type 2 Diabetes and Relationship to Diabetes Control

Download or read book Exercise Adherence in Persons with Type 2 Diabetes and Relationship to Diabetes Control written by Sarah S. Ferguson and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this pilot study was to examine exercise adherence in persons with Type 2 diabetes and how the stages of change in exercise are related to metabolic control. A sample of 28 persons with Type 2 diabetes in ages ranging from 53 to 77 (16 males and 12 females), was studied using the Transtheoretical Theory, of Change. Surveys on the Stages of Change, Processes of Change and Self-Efficacy, developed by Marcus, Rossi, Selby, Niaura, & Abrams (1992) were mailed to participants and followed-up with a telephone Stanford 7-day activity, recall. Subjects were assigned a stage of exercise adoption (Precomtemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, and Maintenance) based on answers to questions in the mailed survey. Metabolic control was related to stage of exercise adoption. Reported physical activity, ' also were related to stages of change in exercise. The telephone survey was used as an internal validation of the mailed self-report. Processes of change in exercise and self-efficacy also were explored in relation to stages of change. Distribution among the stages was unusual. Half of the participants fell into the highest stage of exercise adoption (maintenance). Marcus, Rossi, et al. (1992) only found 22% of their sample to be in this stage. Also two of the stages (precontemplation and action) only had one individual and therefore the stages were collapsed into three stages combining precontemplation with contemplation and action with maintenance for many statistical calculations. In addition, for some calculations, the group was divided into exercisers (Stages 1,2, & 3) and non-exercisers (Stages 4 & 5), The most frequent type of exercise reported was walking. Thirty-five percent chose walking alone and an additional 60% who chose walking or treadmill as part of their fitness program.
