Download or read book Everyday expertise in self management of diabetes in the Dominican Republic Implications for learning and performance support systems design written by Lisette Reyes Paulino and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An epidemic such as diabetes is an extremely complex public health, economic and social problem that is difficult to solve through medical expertise alone. Evidence-based models for improving healthcare delivery systems advocate educating patients to become more active participants in their own care. This shift demands preparing chronically ill patients with the competencies of avid lifelong learners who can harness their experiences living with the disease to develop everyday expertise in its self-management. No prior research to date has endeavored to study and support patient everyday expertise development from the learning and human performance systems design field. Moreover, studies of everyday expertise development in the self-management of diabetes by patients in the Dominican Republic are unknown. ^ This exploratory and descriptive study examined patients with varying levels of expertise in order to: 1) Compare them in terms of demographics, health information and behaviors, and depth of knowledge to solve self-management problems, 2) Identify patterns that differentiate them in reference to three major observational learning concepts: live, verbal and symbolic modeling. Participants were 20 diabetic patients participating in a community-based diabetic education program. Data were collected through a semi-structured scenario-based interview that leveraged cognitive probing as a knowledge elicitation method. Analysis of the data involved both quantitative and qualitative approaches and the use of rubrics and multi-case study comparison. ^ Results revealed that everyday expertise development level was associated with patient educational background and years since diagnosis. In terms of health behaviors, the more expert group reported visiting the doctor and measuring their blood glucose levels more frequently. Among diet, exercise and stress, exercise represented the most difficult self-management task for the less expert group to manage on a daily basis but not for the more experts. The more expert group applied significantly higher instances of deeper knowledge across self-management scenarios but was similar to the less expert group in the application of surface knowledge. As for observational learning patterns the former group had access to learn from live models, reacted differently to verbal instructions from doctors, and were more purposeful about consuming health information through media and other sources of symbolic modeling. A major contribution of this research with practical applications in this context consists of a set of ecologically based learning and performance support guidelines for facilitating everyday expertise development. Conclusion, implications for a wide range of stakeholders, limitations and future research are also discussed.

Download or read book Complex Interventions in Health written by David A. Richards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health and human services currently face a series of challenges – such as aging populations, chronic diseases and new endemics – that require highly complex responses, and take place in multiple care environments including acute medicine, chronic care facilities and the community. Accordingly, most modern health care interventions are now seen as ‘complex interventions’ – activities that contain a number of component parts with the potential for interactions between them which, when applied to the intended target population, produce a range of possible and variable outcomes. This in turn requires methodological developments that also take into account changing values and attitudes related to the situation of patients’ receiving health care. The first book to place complex interventions within a coherent system of research enquiry, this work is designed to help researchers understand the research processes involved at each stage of developing, testing, evaluating and implementing complex interventions, and assist them to integrate methodological activities to produce secure, evidence-based health care interventions. It begins with conceptual chapters which set out the complex interventions framework, discuss the interrelation between knowledge development and evidence, and explore how mixed methods research contributes to improved health. Structured around the influential UK Medical Research Council guidance for use of complex interventions, four sections, each comprised of bite-sized chapters written by multidisciplinary experts in the area, focus on: - Developing complex interventions - Assessing the feasibility of complex interventions and piloting them - Evaluating complex interventions - Implementing complex interventions. Accessible to students and researchers grappling with complex interventions, each substantive chapter includes an introduction, bulleted learning objectives, clinical examples, a summary and further reading. The perspectives of various stakeholders, including patients, families and professionals, are discussed throughout as are the economic and ethical implications of methods. A vital companion for health research, this book is suitable for readers from multidisciplinary disciplines such as medical, nursing, public health, health services research, human services and allied healthcare backgrounds.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study sought measures of diabetic patient compliance behavior, knowledge, and attitudes that experts rated important. A literature review uncovered no relevant measures with known reliability and validity, so the study designed and tested new measures. Questionnaires were administered to about 500 patients from four treatment facilities. Retest questionnaires, interviews with people who knew the patient, medical records, and patient skill demonstrations provided measurement evaluation data. Evaluations indicated that there are still response biases and errors in the newly developed behavior measures, indicated a need for comprehensive validity studies of the knowledge measures, and suggested a set of variables important for further attitude measurement development. Levels of compliance were uncorrelated across prescribed activities; future measurement and theory will need to take this complexity into account.
