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included the scales themselves but this book includes copies of scales and a wealth of additional information from unpublished theses, reports and recent manuscripts.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.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall goal of my CNL project was to increase participation of diabetic patients in diabetes self-management education (DSME) by at least 20%, by identifying and addressing barriers and obstacles hindering the achievement or maintenance of diabetes self-management behaviors in a medical-surgical unit. A total of 20 diabetic patients completed both the pre - and pot-test questionnaires; 40% of participants were Asian Americans, 30% were African Americans, 20% were Hispanics, 10% were Caucasians. A pre- test questionnaire was administered to identify the barriers susceptible to hinder the achievement of diabetes self-care behaviors. The main barriers identified include the limited accessibility and the high cost of healthy foods, the inability to read food labels, the lack of knowledge about carbohydrate counting, the lack of social support, the lack of time and lack of motivation, the lack of knowledge of self-care procedures including blood glucose monitoring, medication management, poor problem-solving skills, maladaptive coping mechanisms, and the lack of knowledge of acute complications. Following the pre-test, an intervention consisting of education of patients in diabetes self-management was implemented to address the identified barriers. The goal of the education was to improve the overall health status by empowering diabetes patients to acquire knowledge, learn skills, develop the appropriate behaviors, develop the problem-solving and coping skills to overcome the barriers and obstacles identified. Following the intervention, over 50% of participants agreed to be able to make improvements in diabetes self-management behaviors. Most of them did change their self-management behaviors; others started reflecting on it.
Download or read book Costs and Benefits of Health Information Technology written by Paul G. Shekelle and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report aims to gather the lessons learnt on the effects of HIT to costs and benefits that might be of use to organisations looking to develop and implement HIT programmes. This is a difficult exercise considering the multiple factors affecting implementation of an HIT programme. Factors include organisational characteristics, the kinds of changes being put in place and how they are managed, and the type of HIT system. The report finds that barriers to HIT implementation are still substantial but that some progress has been made on reporting the organisational factors crucial for the adoption of HIT. However, there is a challenge to adapt the studies and publications from HIT leaders (early implementers and people using HIT to best effect) to offer lessons beyond their local circumstances. The report also finds limited data on the cost-effectiveness of HIT.

Book excerpt: The use of mobile and wireless technologies to support the achievement of health objectives (mHealth) has the potential to transform the face of health service delivery across the globe. A powerful combination of factors is driving this change. These include rapid advances in mobile technologies and applications, a rise in new opportunities for the integration of mobile health into existing eHealth services, and the continued growth in coverage of mobile cellular networks. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), there are now over 5 billion wireless subscribers; over 70% of them reside in low- and middle-income countries. For the first time the World Health Organization's Global Observatory for eHealth (GOe) has sought to determine the status of mHealth in Member States; its 2009 global survey contained a section specifically devoted to mHealth. Completed by 114 Member States, the survey documented for analysis four aspects of mHealth: adoption of initiatives, types of initiatives, status of evaluation, and barriers to implementation. Fourteen categories of mHealth services were surveyed: health call centres, emergency toll-free telephone services, managing emergencies and disasters, mobile telemedicine, appointment reminders, community mobilization and health promotion, treatment compliance, mobile patient records, information access, patient monitoring, health surveys and data collection, surveillance, health awareness raising, and decision support systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem: Pre-diabetes is an insidious condition that commonly persists for many years while progressing on to diabetes type 2. As many as 39% of patients who present with a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes already have the presence of diabetes complications at initial diagnosis. Diabetes has become an epidemic that continues to escalate annually. Diabetes can affect multiple organ systems and lead to serious debilitating complications. Ventura County is consumed with many diabetics. There are not any comprehensive diabetes education programs in the county. Purpose/Scope: The purpose of this evidence-based practice intervention was to evaluate the effectiveness of a Diabetes self-management education (DSME) program on patient's health care utilization, medication use, self-efficaacy for diabetes and general disease management and ability to exercise, and glucose testing. A pres-test/post-test design was utilized to survey subjects participating in the program. The participants received education in four sequential sessions delivered at consistent time intervals over an eight week period. Goal: The goal of developing this program was to empower patients to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to improve health outcomes and to provide access to a diabetes self-management education program open to the general public residing in Ventura County in hopes to improve patient's lives by reducing potential long-term diabetes complications following gaining knowledge of preventative care, improving early diabetes diagnosis, and reducing the workload of primary care practices. Objectives: the objectives of this project included: following the completion of the DSME program, the subject will gain improved scores on the Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scales: Exercise Regularly, Manage Disease in General, Health Care Utilizations, Glucose Testing, and self-efficacy to perform self-management behaviors comparing pre-course versus post-course scores. Plan: Phase I and II involved developing the proposal draft and submitting the document to the GPD. The proposal was submitted to the IRB and approved on 3/20/2007. The class content slides were finalized. Phase III involved recruiting subjects and advertising. The classes began April 9, 2007 and continued for four separate sessions through 5/14. Pre-test and post-test questionnaires were handed out to subjects on the first day and last day of classes. Following completion, the data was analyzed. Outcomes and Results: The pre-test and post-test mean scores were compared using paired t-test and the differences were statistically significant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) continues to rise creating a global crisis. It is predicted that over the next 40 years three times the number of current diabetic patients will be diagnosed generating a pandemic. Diabetes mellitus, like other chronic diseases, creates a burden not only on patients but also on communities, families, and health care systems (Jack, 2003). Diabetes mellitus is a disease complicated by multiple issues, and if left untreated, acute and chronic complications occurs worsening patient outcomes and quality of life. Interprofessional approaches to medical management of DM for prevention of long term complications are necessary, and diabetes self-management education/training (DSME/T) is a vital component of the medical care that should be provided (AADE, 2009; ADA, 2010). ..." from Introduction.
Download or read book Evaluating a Diabetes Self management Education Protocol for Implementation in a Charity Clinic written by Shirley Koshy and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative pretest-posttest project was to evaluate the self-care knowledge and intent to change behaviors of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after the implementation of an evidence-based educational protocol. Orem's self-care deficit nursing theory (SCDNT) and Bandura's social cognitive theory were used as the conceptual foundation for this Direct Practice Improvement (DPI) project. As there is no structured evidence-based educational program in existence at the charity clinic, the aim of the project was to raise awareness about type 2 diabetes mellitus, importance of receiving care in a timely manner to prevent complications, providing information regarding different resources available in the community, and goal setting for prevention of disease and its complications through a diabetes self-management education (DSME) protocol. However, it was not known to what degree/extent a DSME protocol will enhance the knowledge and intent to change behavior in diabetic patients with T2DM at a charity clinic in Houston, Texas. The Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center's (MDRTC) Revised Diabetes Knowledge Test was utilized as the survey tool. A convenience sample (n=22) was used and data analysis performed using paired sample t-tests via SPSS database volume 25.0 on the scores rendered from the survey tool. The results of the project showed a significant difference in the pre- and post-test scores (p
