This book was released on 2013 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Americans (AAs) experience higher rates of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and difficulty adhering to T2DM treatment plans. The current study aims were to create a culturally informed intervention for AAs with T2DM and determine its efficacy for increasing treatment adherence, diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, problem-focused coping, and mindfulness, and reducing emotional distress and HbA1c levels. A focus group with AAs with T2DM was conducted to understand barriers to treatment adherence. Information provided was incorporated into the development of a culturally informed T2DM adherence intervention for AAs. AAs with T2DM experiencing adherence difficulty (N = 20) recruited from a Family Medicine Clinic were randomly assigned to the intervention group (IG, n = 12) and an education comparison group (ECG, n = 8). Measures of adherence, knowledge, self-efficacy, and psychological factors were administered pre- (T1), immediately post- (T2), and 3-months post-intervention (T3). HbA1c levels were abstracted from participants' medical records at T1 and T3. The sample was 50% female, 70% with some college, 50% single, 75% unemployed, with an average age of 50.8 years and T2DM diagnosis length of 6.9 years. No significant group differences were observed on T2 or T3 measures. A significant time effect on healthy dietary behavior adherence reflected increases from T1-T2-T3 [Wilks' Lambda = 0.47, F(2, 10) = 5.52, p = .02]. Within groups, the IG exhibited a significant increase in physical activity adherence [t(11) = -2.34, p = .04] and mindfulness [t(11) = -2.53, p = .03] and approached a significant decrease in depressive symptoms [t(4) = 2.31, p = .07] from T1-T2; and a significant increase in healthy dietary behavior adherence [t(7) = 2.76, p = .03] and significant reduction in HbA1c [t(8) = 2.55, p = .03] from T1-T3. The ECG demonstrated a significant increase from T1-T3 on diabetes-specific self-efficacy [t(4) = 2.83, p = .05]. While no between-group differences were observed, findings indicate this intervention's components hold promise for changing adherence behaviors for rural AAs with T2DM. Future research with a larger sample is warranted to better elucidate treatment effects and adding a long-term follow-up component would allow assessment of longitudinal effects.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Caucasians and African-Americans with type 2 diabetes continue to experience preventable diabetes-related life-threatening complications despite medical advances and health care availability. African-Americans are more likely to suffer from diabetes-related complications and experience a higher diabetes-related mortality rate than Caucasians. There is a definite need to better understand the relationship of psychosocial variables to diabetes control in these two racial groups. The purpose of this two-group, comparative, descriptive study was to examine the relationships of social support, self-efficacy, and outcome expectations (beliefs that diabetes-related behaviors will lead to certain outcomes) to self-care behaviors and glycemic control in Caucasian and African-American adults with type 2 diabetes. A convenience sample of 91 Caucasian and African-American subjects receiving health care at three outpatient facilities participated in the study. All subjects completed four self-report measures: Social Support Questionnaire, Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, Outcome Expectancy Questionnaire, and the Diabetes Activities Questionnaire at the time of the outpatient visit. Long-term glycemic control was assessed by glycosylated hemoglobin analyses at the time of the outpatient visit. Two-sample t-tests revealed no significant differences between the two racial groups in regards to age (p = .81), duration of diabetes (p = .69), and glycosylated hemoglobin (p = .85). Chi-square analyses revealed two significant differences between the two racial groups with regard to sex (p = .04) and marital status (p

This book was released on 2016 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Diabetes is a lifelong chronic disease that requires daily management. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, and non-traumatic lower limb amputations. African Americans are more likely to suffer from diabetes related complications than any other race. The purpose of this study was to test a six-week culturally tailored diabetes self-management program for African Americans. The diabetes self-management intervention was conceptualized as the foundation that supported the changes in diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, symptom management, and self-management activities. Thus, the specific aim of this study was to increase knowledge about diabetes, self-efficacy, symptom management, and self-management activities in African American adults diagnosed with diabetes. A one-group pre- and post-test was the design used in this study. The six-week intervention focused on areas of diabetes self-management based on the American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines: (a) introduction to diabetes, (b) healthy eating, (c) being active, (d), medications, (e) glucose monitoring and complications, and (f) symptom management. An African American nurse led the intervention. Adult African Americans with diabetes who were age 18 years old and older were recruited from two predominantly black churches in the south-eastern part of the United States. Sessions were held at each church directly after the morning and evening worship services. A total of 32 participants were recruited and 28 participants completed the six-week program. Health history and biomarkers (BMI, HBA1C) were measured at baseline. The major concepts were measured at baseline and post intervention using the Spoken Knowledge in Low Literacy Diabetes (SKILLD) scale, Diabetes Empower Scale- Short Form (DES-SF), Diabetes Symptom Checklist- Revised (DSC-r) scale, and the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) scale. At baseline, many person had low diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, symptom management, and diabetes self-management activities. Findings revealed statistically significant positive improvements in diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, symptoms management, and diabetes self-management activities from pre-intervention to post- intervention. Study participants gained an awareness of the need or diabetes self-management education. Designing and implementing culturally tailored diabetes self-management programs in faith-based settings are practical and necessary to reduce the disparity in diabetes for African Americans. More diabetes self-management studies are needed that target, recruit, and retain an adequate representation of African Americans. Also, more research is needed regarding African American cultures and learning styles so that programs can modify learning objectives to meet their needs."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are what we eat. That old expression seems particularly poignant every time we have our blood drawn for a routine physical to check our cholesterol levels. And, it's not just what we eat that affects our health. Whole ranges of behaviors ultimately make a difference in how we feel and how we maintain our health. Lifestyle choices have enormous impact on our health and well being. But, how do we communicate the language of good health so that it is uniformly received-and accepted-by people from different cultures and backgrounds? Take, for example, the case of a 66 year old Latina. She has been told by her doctor that she should have a mammogram. But her sense of fatalism tells her that it is better not to know if anything is wrong. To know that something is wrong will cause her distress and this may well lead to even more health problems. Before she leaves her doctor's office she has decided not to have a mammogram-that is until her doctor points out that having a mammogram is a way to take care of herself so that she can continue to take care of her family. In this way, the decision to have a mammogram feels like a positive step. Public health communicators and health professionals face dilemmas like this every day. Speaking of Health looks at the challenges of delivering important messages to different audiences. Using case studies in the areas of diabetes, mammography, and mass communication campaigns, it examines the ways in which messages must be adapted to the unique informational needs of their audiences if they are to have any real impact. Speaking of Health looks at basic theories of communication and behavior change and focuses on where they apply and where they don't. By suggesting creative strategies and guidelines for speaking to diverse audiences now and in the future, the Institute of Medicine seeks to take health communication into the 21st century. In an age where we are inundated by multiple messages every day, this book will be a critical tool for all who are interested in communicating with diverse communities about health issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social problems in many domains, including health, education, social relationships, and the workplace, have their origins in human behavior. The documented links between behavior and social problems have compelled governments and organizations to prioritize and mobilize efforts to develop effective, evidence-based means to promote adaptive behavior change. In recognition of this impetus, The Handbook of Behavior Change provides comprehensive coverage of contemporary theory, research, and practice on behavior change. It summarizes current evidence-based approaches to behavior change in chapters authored by leading theorists, researchers, and practitioners from multiple disciplines, including psychology, sociology, behavioral science, economics, philosophy, and implementation science. It is the go-to resource for researchers, students, practitioners, and policy makers looking for current knowledge on behavior change and guidance on how to develop effective interventions to change behavior.

This book was released on 2008-09-17 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2009 AJN Book of the Year Award Winner! Designated a Doody's Core Title! Middle Range Theory for Nursing is a textbook designed for theory and research courses in master's and doctoral programs. As described in the 2d edition of the Encyclopedia of Nursing Research, middle range theory "is a basic, usable structure of ideas, less abstract than grand theory and more abstract than empirical generalizations or micro-range theoryÖ. Middle-range theories are developed and grown at the intersection of practice and research to provide guidance for everyday practice and scholarly research rooted in the discipline of nursing." In this revised and updated second edition, the authors will revise the eight theories that were examined in the first edition with published research and practice updates along with any changes in the basic concepts and models. Seven new theories will be added. Each theory is presented by the theorist in a consistent format: purpose of the theory; basic concepts; relationships among the concepts, the model; use of the theory in nursing research and/or practice; conclusions; references.
