Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to identify and examine the concepts of self-care agency and self-care practice of African American adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, living in the local community. The research questions addressed were: 1) What is the self-care agency of adult African Americans diagnosed with type 2 diabetes? 2) What is the self-care practice of adult African Americans diagnosed with type 2 diabetes? 3) Is there a relationship between self-care agency and self-care practice in adult African Americans diagnosed with type 2 diabetes? The Denyes Self-Care Agency Instrument (DSCAI-90) and the Denyes Self-Care Practice Instrument (DSCPI-90) were used to survey a convenience sample of 40 adult African Americans with type 2 diabetes, living in the community. Findings revealed that self-care agency and self-care practice were present, and there was a positive correlation between the two concepts. The results of this study supported the usefulness of Orem's Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory (SCDNT) with adult African American diabetic populations and identified the need for further research to examine self-care in other African American populations.

Book excerpt: Self-care is the key to living a long and healthy life for people with diabetes. Yet numerous studies show that self-care is far from optimal. This has resulted in attempts to understand the progress underlying self-care behavior in the efforts of mediating more effectively. While there are an abundance of studies focusing on African-American women and diabetes management, there is a considerable gap in health education literature regarding the self-care management experiences of African-American men living with type 2 diabetes. The management and impact of type 2 diabetes on the sense of self, lifestyle, and significant others of the African-American man are not clearly comprehended. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to explore the knowledge, beliefs, and self-care management practices of African American men living with type 2 diabetes. This was an exploratory study utilizing qualitative methodology to understand the knowledge, beliefs, and existing self-care management practices of up to 50 African-American men, ages 18-70, living with type 2 diabetes. Participants had one-on-one semi structured interviews with the primary investigator. The instruments that were used consisted of two parts: one was a self-administered paper/pencil questionnaire to collect socio-demographic information. The second was a semi-structured interview. The study significance was to identify and understand the barriers to type 2 diabetes management and how they had an adverse influence on self-care. A combination of high barriers, poor daily self-care, management, and knowledge possibly put those with type 2 diabetes at an elevated risk for subordinate self-care management. Barriers had a role in reality and diabetes researchers and educators are charged with recognizing the complications of what individuals with type 2 diabetes need to do improve and enhance their health. The study findings revealed that the participants labored with managing their diabetes and some counted on their own potential or performance, as well as the encouragement of their family, extended family, neighbors, and friends. Also, many of the participants had a unified theme in that regarding self-care management, having type 2 diabetes affected those in their surrounding environment, not just the person living with the illness. In conclusion, the study findings suggest that future diabetes research and education among African-American men should give attention to male masculinity and the powerful influence it has on utilizing preventive health services. The limited amount of African-American men included in empirical type 2 diabetes research could help explain the under addressed barriers and complexities to positive self-care management.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Diabetes is a significant public health problem and a leading cause of disability and death in the United States. The purpose of this study was to assess diabetes knowledge and self-care activities and explore experiences of African-American women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This mixed method study used a quantitative correlational design and a qualitative descriptive design. The data was collected using surveys and semi-structured individual interviews and analyzed using SPSS 17.0 and Atlas ti 5.2. Data were transcribed verbatim and examined for emergent themes. The sample included fifty-two African-American women between the ages of 40-64 from the North Central Florida region. The mean age for the sample was 55 years. Approximately 55.8% of the participants had higher than the average knowledge for diabetes. Results showed no associations between the respondent's level of knowledge about diabetes and certain self-care activities. However there were positive significant correlations between knowledge about diabetes and the years of education (rho=.24) and some self-care activities namely (a) specific diet (r=.28) and (b) foot care (rho=.40).

Book excerpt: This study was conducted to explore the barriers socioeconomically disadvantaged African American adults encounter in managing type 2 diabetes and the specific day-to-day strategies they employ to surmount them. Theoretical Framework. Four perspectives informed all aspects of this study, from crafting the research questions through interpretation of results: The agency vis-a-vis structure tension; Marxist/Conflict Theory; Constructivist Grounded Theory as explicated by Charmaz (2006), and several Social Ecological health models. Methods. Analysis was based on direct observation of 15 doctor/patient office visits and subsequent personal interviews. The patients were scheduled for routine follow-up visits and were selected from the panels of four physicians practicing at an exemplar (relatively high diabetes quality of care scores), safety-net clinic (>50% of patients on Medicaid or uninsured) in Northeast Ohio. Results. The most salient barriers patients faced in managing diabetes were economic, job, and insurance-related in nature; and these obstacles influenced all their health care decisions and behaviors. Other barriers included: managing comorbidities, food insecurity, scarcity of affordable exercise options, neighborhood crime, transportation11issues. Management strategies included: conferring regularly with their physicians; seeking the support of family, friends, and religion; going to a safety-net clinic; "listening to my body"; using trial and error to make self-management decisions; becoming informed; using available community resources; setting goals; and routinizing a diabetes regimen.Conclusion. Socioeconomically disadvantaged African American adults can successfully manage diabetes given the requisite resources: culturally competent, caring physicians and staff; the services of a safety-net healthcare system; public financial aid; information and education; and family and community support.Implications. This study is an exemplar for health stakeholders who seek to foster productive doctor/patient relationships and to improve diabetes outcomes of socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Study findings suggest several policy implications: increasing the time for routine visits with complex patients; incentivizing caring and meaningful doctor/patient relationships over quantitative "throughput" measures; incentivizing integrative whole person care; systematically assessing patients' social environmental concerns; and offering medical students mentored experiences in international health to foster altruistic caring (Bolen, Sage, Perzynski, & Stange, 2015; Ferrer & Carrasco, 2010; Epstein et al, 2010; Berenson & Rich, 2010; Hong et al., 2010).

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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Prescribed self-management behaviors have been found to be important factors affecting the rates of morbidity and mortality in multiple medical conditions including chronic diseases such as diabetes, a condition that disproportionately affects high health risk populations such as African Americans. This study focused on understanding health behaviors, beliefs, and associated factors such as support systems and access to care that played a role in diabetes self-management and glucose control. The study also explored diabetes self-management education and its role in diabetes self-management. The research conducted in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties in Florida, included twenty-five African American women between the ages of forty-six and eighty-seven, with self-identified diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes).

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: This study examined the diabetic self-management behavior of low-income, uninsured study participants receiving treatment at the Greenville Free Medical Clinic located in Greenville, South Carolina. The study examined how individual self-perception, self-efficacy and self-empowerment influence the daily self-management of diabetes across different groups of diabetic adults. Aftican American men and women were compared to their non-African American counterparts for insight into why one group is statistically much more likely to mismanage the self-treatment of diabetes. The study's theoretical framework was based on the health belief model and the study design encompasses a purposive convenience type population (n=110) sampling method. The principal investigator analyzed all data collected to better understand how different groups of participants may differ in individual daily diabetic management regimens while focusing mainly on group differences in diabetic self-management, diabetic self-care and overall self-empowerment in African American men and women as compared to non-African American men and women. Keywords: health care disparities, Health Belief Model, diabetes education, behavior attrition

This book was released on 2011-05-20 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is an excellent review of the development of self-care deficit theory and the use of self-care in nursing practice. Explanations of the various theories and theory terms are well done and written at a level that novice theorists can relate to. The authors demonstrate how self-care science can be fiscally and effectively applied to the care of patients/clients."--Doody's Medical Reviews Dorothea Orem's Self-Care Theory has been used as a foundation for nursing practice in healthcare institutions and as the basis of curricula in nursing schools for decades. This book explores the high-level theory of the application of Orem's Self-Care Theory, and how it can improve patient outcomes as well as cost-effectiveness of nursing care delivery. Written for nursing theorists, researchers, administrators, and graduate students, the text addresses the relationship of self-care theory and evidence-based care in nursing, and provides a solution to improving contemporary healthcare outcomes. The book is divided into three sections. Section one discusses the reason for the existence of the nursing profession, and identifies the performance of self-care. Section two covers three nursing practice sciences-wholly compensatory nursing, partly compensatory nursing, and supportive educative nursing. Section three offer suggestions on how health care organizations can incorporate this broadened perspective of what constitutes evidence based practice and on-going research methodology into every-day delivery of nursing services. Key Features: Includes case examples to illustrate the application of theory to nursing practice Provides a current, cost-effective resource for implementing Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory for effective evidence-based practice Builds the link between the application of Orem's Self Care Theory and improved patient and fiscal healthcare outcomes
