This book was released on 2021 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetes continues to be one of the leading causes of death within the United States, with the Hispanic population having an especially high risk of developing diabetes. Understanding the different factors that may affect adherence to diabetes self-care, such as self-efficacy, duration of diabetes, and patient treatment satisfaction is important to reduce diabetes-related health complications. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between patient self-efficacy for diabetes management and satisfaction with treatment, as well as whether the duration of diabetes is associated with self-efficacy for disease management. Baseline data was collected on 16 Hispanic patients with diabetes at a free clinic. Treatment satisfaction was measured using the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire status (DTSQs) and self-efficacy was measured using the Perceived Diabetes Self-Management Scale (PDSMS). A significant positive correlation was found between diabetes treatment satisfaction (DTSQ) and self-efficacy (PDSMS). No significant relationship was found between duration of diabetes and self-efficacy. Our study results suggest that patients with high treatment satisfaction also have high self-efficacy levels, or vice versa. Diabetes healthcare providers looking to improve patient treatment satisfaction may benefit from implementing programs to improve patient self-efficacy. Conversely, healthcare providers looking to improve patient self-efficacy may benefit from addressing patients’ treatment satisfaction.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type 2 diabetes mellitus represents a daunting self-management challenge due to its complicated daily treatment regimen which includes adhering to diet, exercise, and medication recommendations. Little research has evaluated perceived barriers to diabetes self-care in a group that is at particular risk for diabetic complications: U.S. Latinos. This study had two aims. The first was to provide evidence that experimental and validated self-report instruments selected for this study functioned in a comparable manner in both Spanish and English in a sample of low income, predominantly Spanish-speaking diabetic patients (n = 77). The second aim was to examine hypothesized relationships of selected predictors to two criterion variables measuring health status (i.e., glycosylated hemoglobin A1c and Diabetes Impact) using a method described by Baron & Kenny (1986). Predictors included age, education, and income as covariates, and perceived environmental barriers to self-care, self-efficacy for treatment adherence, fatalistic beliefs (external health locus of control), and Latino cultural diabetes beliefs. Potential moderator and mediator variables of the relationship between perceived barriers to self care and criterion variables included self-efficacy for treatment adherence, fatalistic beliefs and Latino cultural diabetes beliefs. Scales used in this study had coefficient alpha values ranging from .82-.96 in Spanish and .74-.97 in English and also demonstrated strong factor structure integrity. Bivariate correlations indicated that higher scores on perceived barriers to self-care were significantly related to lower self-efficacy scores [r = −.34, p

Book Synopsis The Relationship Between Self-efficacy and Pre-diabetes Diagnosis Among Black and Latino East Harlem Adolescents by : Pamela Matthew
Download or read book The Relationship Between Self-efficacy and Pre-diabetes Diagnosis Among Black and Latino East Harlem Adolescents written by Pamela Matthew and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Nearly 1 in 4 US teens have diabetes or pre-diabetes. There is an annual 10% progression from pre-diabetes to diabetes and up to 70 % of people with pre-diabetes develop Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes disproportionately affects low-income communities including East Harlem which currently has the highest rates of obesity and diabetes in NYC. This disease burden is especially prevalent among Black and Hispanic youth. The goal of Project TEEN HEED (Help Educate to Eliminate Diabetes) is to improve dietary and physical activity self-efficacy and behaviors and decrease the risk of diabetes among pre-diabetic adolescents in East Harlem, NY.Objective: To determine if there is an association between self-efficacy and the diagnosis of pre-diabetes among adolescents in East Harlem.Methods: Utilizing a community based participatory research (CBPR) collaborative approach, community members and researchers on the TEEN HEED community action board (CAB) developed a lifestyle/health risk survey. Previously validated scales were included to assess diet and physical activity self-efficacy. We analyzed responses to 13 diet self-efficacy questions (8 related to social/emotional factors with a maximum score of 40 and 5 related to behavioral factors with a maximum score of 25) and 6 physical activity self-efficacy questions with a maximum score of 30. Overweight/obese adolescents were screened for pre-diabetes using an oral glucose tolerance test. A cross-sectional analysis (two sample t-test) was used to determine whether there is an association between self-efficacy and pre-diabetes diagnosis.Results: At the time of data analysis for this thesis, 39 adolescents had completed pre-diabetes screening (14 were diagnosed with pre-diabetic sugar levels and 25 were found to have normal sugars). In terms of social/emotional diet self-efficacy, the mean (sd) scores were 22.07 (6.09) in the pre-diabetic group and 26.28 (7.36) for the non-prediabetic group, p=0.08. For behavioral diet self-efficacy, the mean (sd) scores were 19.14 (4.35) in the pre-diabetic group and 19.92 (4.28) in the non-pre-diabetic group, p=0.59. Finally, for physical activity self-efficacy, the mean (sd) scores were 19.92 (5.36) in the pre-diabetic group and 19.40 (6.13) in the non-prediabetic group, p=0.79.Conclusion: In this preliminary analysis, we found no significant differences in diet or physical activity self-efficacy levels between pre-diabetic and non pre-diabetic teens. This study was limited due to small sample size. However, this research is helpful in understanding the potential role of self-efficacy on clinical outcomes and may help inform future behavioral interventions focused on lifestyle modification and weight loss.
Book Synopsis Effects of a Peer-led Educational Intervention on Support Resources, Self-effcacy, Depression, Beliefs, and Self-management Behaviors in Latinos with Type 2 Diabetes by :
Download or read book Effects of a Peer-led Educational Intervention on Support Resources, Self-effcacy, Depression, Beliefs, and Self-management Behaviors in Latinos with Type 2 Diabetes written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) affects roughly 20 million individuals in the US and this amount is projected to more than double by the year 2034. Latinos are at disproportionately greater risk for developing T2DM and often exhibit poorer adherence to diabetes self-management recommendations, and in turn, worse glycemic control and more diabetes-related complications, compared to non-Latino Whites. Project Dulce was a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of a peer-educator led, culturally-appropriate intervention designed to improve diabetes self-management and glycemic control among Latinos with poorly controlled diabetes. The current project investigated the effects of the Project Dulce intervention on diabetes self-management behavior, support resources, self-efficacy, depressive symptomatology, and culture-based beliefs about diabetes, using the Resources and Supports for Self-Management (RSSM) as a conceptual framework. Study participants (N = 207) completed clinical and self-report assessments at baseline, post-intervention (4 months), and follow-up (10 months). Study hypotheses were evaluated via multi-level models using Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) 6.08. The study aimed to assess whether the Project Dulce peer-education group exhibited greater improvements over time in diabetes self-management behaviors, depressive symptoms, support resources for disease management and self-efficacy, as well as culture-based beliefs about diabetes, compared to the control ("care as usual") group. An exploratory aim of the study investigated whether "dosage" (i.e., classes attended) was associated with greater improvements in the Project Dulce intervention group. Analyses revealed improvements in dietary self-management behaviors, depressive symptomatology, self-efficacy, culture-based beliefs about diabetes, support resources for disease management (i.e., friends and family, healthcare providers, neighborhood, and personal support), and self-efficacy, over time, across groups. Analyses also revealed that Project Dulce group participants showed greater improvements in personal support resources for disease management and endorsed fewer culture-based beliefs about diabetes over time, compared to the control group. Furthermore, "dosage" (attendance) analyses, including only Project Dulce group participants, revealed that greater dosage (i.e., attending more sessions) led to greater improvements over time in support resources for disease management (self and neighborhood support), as well as exercise and blood-glucose checking self-management behaviors, compared to those who attended fewer classes. Although analyses revealed that Project Dulce group participants showed improvements over time with increased attendance, this was not significantly greater than improvements experienced by the control group. Possible explanations for improvements in the control group may relate to participants' motivation for change, or contact with the peer-educator during assessments which may have conveyed support or may have created expectancy effects (i.e., "social desirability effects") leading to biased self-report responding. Findings from "Dosage" analyses (including Project Dulce group participants only) indicate that individuals with type 2 diabetes who enroll in the Project Dulce intervention and attend more classes may experience greater support resources from their neighborhood and self-support, which may lead to improved self-management behavior, compared to individuals who attend fewer classes. Distinction of assessor and interventionist roles, and use of objective behavioral data collection methods, may shed light on the degree to which interventions such as Project Dulce can modify health behavior among this high-risk population.
Book Synopsis Relation of Acculturation, Perceived Benefits and Barriers, Self-efficacy, Social Support, and Beliefs about Physical Activity to Physical Activity Levels of College-aged Hispanic and Non-Hispanic Women by : Katherine Elizabeth Serna Velasquez
Download or read book Relation of Acculturation, Perceived Benefits and Barriers, Self-efficacy, Social Support, and Beliefs about Physical Activity to Physical Activity Levels of College-aged Hispanic and Non-Hispanic Women written by Katherine Elizabeth Serna Velasquez and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two overall national health goals are to increase the quality and years of healthy life and to eliminate health disparities. Physical inactivity is a leading cause of disability and death due to its relationship with overweight and chronic disease. Hispanic women are less physically active than Hispanic men and Anglo women in leisure time physical activity and recommended levels of physical activity (PA). From a developmental perspective, understanding prevalence and correlates of PA in emerging adulthood may make a significant contribution to increasing PA as women move into full adulthood. The Health Promotion Model (HPM) advanced by Pender provided the framework for examining beliefs about PA and other correlates of PA. This study also developed and tested a scale measuring beliefs about PA (BPA) that tried to access cultural differences between non-Hispanic and Hispanic women. The study was carried out by electronic solicitation to randomly selected non-Hispanic and Hispanic students from 3 southwestern universities and yielded 237 complete online surveys. Instruments comprising the survey included the Short-version of the International PA Questionnaire (IPAQ), Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale (EBBS), Self-Efficacy for Exercise (SEE), Social Support for Exercise Survey for Family and Friends (SSFA, SSFR), BPA, the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans (ARSMA II), and questions about SES. Statistical procedures included factor analysis, t-tests, and multi-sample path analysis. Respondents included 80 non-Hispanic and 157 Hispanic women, aged 18-27. Factor analysis of the BPA produced 7 subscales accounting for 68% of the explained variance (spirituality, role enhancement, socialization preferences, personal benefits, cultural beliefs, exercise difficulty, and women's roles). Independent sample t-tests indicated group means for spirituality and cultural beliefs significantly differed, as did total BPA, acculturation, & SES. Path analysis provided evidence for a model with good fit for both groups. Significant path coefficients to vigorous PA included benefits, SE, and SSFA. Total indirect effects for SES to vigorous PA through SE and SSFA were significant. Acculturation, SES, SSFR, and BPA were not significant predictors of vigorous PA.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this cross-sectional, correlational study was to explore the use of traditional, complementary, and alternative (TCA) self-care expressions, patterns, and practices of Latinos/Hispanics for the management of type 2 diabetes. The target population was adult men and women living in a nonborder, emerging Latino/Hispanic area. Specifically, this study explored the use of herbal remedies, faith-based interventions, consulting traditional healers, and self-medication/self-prescription practices and assessed their association to glycemic control. Leininger's culture care diversity and universality theory and sunrise enabler were used as the conceptual framework. A total of 75 Latino/Hispanic immigrants living in central and western North Carolina were enrolled. Approximately 67% of participants were female and the mean age was 47 years. High levels of hypertension, overweight/obesity, and diabetes-related comorbidities were reported. Glycemic control was poor, as measured by A1C. Limited financial resources and low acculturation levels were reported by the men and women. Sixty-nine percent of the sample reported using herbal/plant products on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis for diabetes self-care. Forty-nine different products were used. The most frequently used herbal remedies were prickly pear cactus (nopale), aloe vera (salvia or sá́bila), celery (apio), vegetable pear (chayote), cinnamon (canela), cat's claw (uña de gato), Herbalife, beets (betabel), bitter gourd/melon (cundeamor or yerba mora), nin, horsetail (la cola de caballo), and oats (aveno). Forty-one percent of the sample reported using faith-based interventions, such as personal prayer or going to mass/church. Eight percent of the sample consulted with traditional healers, and approximately 15% used self-medication/self-prescription to manage diabetes. Participants reported not communicating the use of TCA modalities with their health care provider. Persons identified reasons for not disclosing this information as: beliefs that American healthcare providers do not believe in or lack knowledge of Latino/Hispanic natural medicine; "it's not relevant"; a translator was required to explain TCA practices; and prior experiences with healthcare providers "being in a hurry" and "not asking questions" of patients. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to examine the association of individual characteristics, cultural and social structure dimensions, and environmental context factors with the use of TCA modalities and with glycemic control (A1C level). The effect of herbal remedies, faith-based interventions, consulting traditional healers, and self-medication/self-prescription on A1C level was examined. Predictors of TCA usage and glycemic control were not found. New knowledge of the emic practices of Latinos/Hispanics for the management of type 2 diabetes was developed. Understanding self-care practices of Latinos/Hispanics and improving provider cultural competency are critical for alleviating diabetes-related health disparities of this population. Study findings inform implications in the areas of practice, education, healthcare systems and policy, and future research to alleviate disparities in access, care, and health outcomes for Latinos/Hispanics with diabetes."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
Book Synopsis Cultural and Family Challenges in Type Two Diabetes Self-care for Puerto Rican Identified Hispanic Adults by : Jalil Johnson
Download or read book Cultural and Family Challenges in Type Two Diabetes Self-care for Puerto Rican Identified Hispanic Adults written by Jalil Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Puerto Rican identified Hispanics are disproportionately affected by type 2 diabetes and co-morbid conditions compared to their white counterparts. Culturally tailored interventions improve self-care for Hispanic populations. Interventions should be tailored to the targeted Hispanic subgroup. The intersection of Familism in Puerto Rican culture as it influences type 2 diabetes self-care is not well understood. Research Aims: The primary aim of this study was to define specific socio-cultural phenomena, Familism as a facilitator or inhibitor of diabetes self-care for Puerto Rican identified Hispanics living in the continental U.S. A secondary aim was to examine how health care professionals may best include the PRiH family in care planning. Methodology: A qualitative methodology, specifically Case method with an instrumental approach was used. To assess Familism, pre-established definitions of Familism were compared with the lived experiences of the (n=25) subjects in the study. Four primary sources of data collection were used and included focus groups (n=12 patient subjects), semi structured interviews (n=5 healthcare provider subjects), semi structured interviews (n=5 community member subjects), field notes, and participant observation. Member and nonmember checking (n=3 subjects) was used to confirm the study findings; as well as other validity constructs to ensure credibility, transferability, dependability and conformability. Data analyses was primarily thematic. NVivo software was used to facilitate exploration of the data for themes. Outcomes: Outcomes of this study were primarily descriptive and provide a greater understanding of the social dynamics affecting diabetes self-care for Puerto Rican identified Hispanics living in the continental U.S. Significant findings from this study include clarification of the substantial impact of Familism dynamics on diabetes self-care for PRiH men and women; and the experiential differences between men and women. Importantly, this data is important for researchers designing culturally tailored studies targeting Puerto Rican identified Hispanic adults.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this descriptive study was to explore the self-care behaviors of college students with diabetes, compare their behaviors to college students without diabetes, and explore the relationship between select demographic characteristics on self-care behaviors of college students with and without diabetes. The target population was college students between the ages of 18-24 who completed the American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment II in spring, 2009. The self-care behaviors examined through an analysis of the survey data were related to food, activity, rest, and prevention of hazards to life as identified in Orem's self-care deficit theory of nursing. An ecological framework was used to describe the demographic characteristics, or basic conditioning factors, at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and community levels of influence. A total of 1216 students met the inclusion criteria for age, with 528 students reporting they had been diagnosed or treated by a professional for diabetes in the past 12 months. Approximately 63% of the total participants were female and nearly 78% were White, Non-Hispanic. The frequency of students with diabetes meeting the self-care requisites was extremely low, with less than 10% meeting the recommendations for daily fruit and vegetable intake, approximately 30% meeting the recommendations for weekly exercise, and less than 5% achieving adequate rest. Prevention of hazards to life was assessed by examining the frequency of meeting age and gender guidelines for responsible alcohol use and recommendations for weekly alcohol limitations, not smoking, not drinking and driving, and using a seatbelt. Thirty percent of the students with diabetes met the gender guidelines for responsible alcohol consumption and 46% limited their alcohol intake to no more than 1-2 times per week. Seventy percent of the students reported smoking in the previous 30 days. Eighty percent reported they did not drink and drive in the last 30 days, and 70% reported they always use a seatbelt. While students with diabetes reported better outcomes in the self-care requisites of food, activity, and rest, they more frequently engaged in risk behaviors related to alcohol, smoking and unsafe driving practices than students without diabetes. Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to examine the association of intrapersonal, interpersonal, and community levels of influence with meeting each self-care requisites. Predictors of self-care behaviors at the intrapersonal level included gender, race/ethnicity, age, grade average, stress, and health knowledge. Predictors found at the community level were status in Greek organizations, place of residence, and participation in organized athletic. Relationship status and marital status found at the interpersonal level were not found to predict the meeting of any of the self-care requisites. New knowledge on the self-care behaviors of college students with diabetes was developed. Study findings provide insights into the needs for education, further research, and anticipatory guidance from healthcare providers and parents as young people with diabetes transition into college. Study findings may inform interventions that will provide this vulnerable population with greater opportunities for academic success and prevention of long-term complications of this complicated chronic illness."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Download or read book Hispanic Family Diabetes Project written by Beverly B. White and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes in lifestyle over the last century have resulted in a dramatic increase in the incidence of diabetes in the United States (U.S.). Mexican-Americans, the largest Hispanic/Latino subgroup in the U.S., are 1.7x?s as likely to have diabetes as non- Hispanic Whites. Culturally appropriate approaches for treating diabetes in minority groups have rarely been investigated and traditional interventions have been ineffective. The purpose of this study was to test whether a culturally appropriate (i.e., language, food, and beliefs) diabetes intervention pilot program that focused on nutrition, physical activity (PA), and self-care for Hispanic participants with diabetes, could improve lifestyle/medical diabetic risk factors. Outcome variables collected pre/post-intervention were servings/day of fruits, vegetables, whole grains; intake of saturated fat; PA (minutes/week); blood glucose, insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL)cholesterol, triglycerides, and insulin resistance. This study was unique as the intervention was completed in both urban/rural settings, in a manageable time frame, with outcome variables that included change in diet/exercise, blood lipids, and insulin resistance. The education program (6-10 weeks; 20-25 hours) was offered in Multnomah (MC) and Hood River (HRC) counties using bilingual/bicultural community health workers. Counties selected 1 of 2 ways to implement the program. Participants were encouraged to bring a friend/family member for support. The intervention significantly increased (p

Book Synopsis The Impact of Chronic Stress on the Self-care Practices of Hispanic Diabetic Caregivers by : Sharon Waits Chalmers
Download or read book The Impact of Chronic Stress on the Self-care Practices of Hispanic Diabetic Caregivers written by Sharon Waits Chalmers and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caregivers (CG) often neglect their own self-care which may have deleterious effects if CG have a chronic illness, such as diabetes. Care demands have been linked to CG health, although the mechanisms are unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships of CG stress, depressive symptoms, and diabetes self-care practices on CG physical health (PH) and glycemic control (GC) in an underrepresented group of Hispanic CG with diabetes. A correlational design was used in a non-random sample of 42 Hispanic CG with diabetes (Type I or II) recruited from two health centers serving the uninsured. CG had diabetes for [greater than or equal to] 6 months, were on average 48.0 (± 11.4) years old, 73.8% female, and 54.8 % with 8th grade education. Care recipients were on average 53.9 (± 14.0) years old, 54.8 % male, and were functionally independent. Standard questionnaires for perceived caregiving stress (Caregiver Burden Scale), depressive symptoms (CES-D), diabetes selfcare practices (Diabetes Care Profile), PH (PCS of the SF12v2) and CG characteristics were administered in person. GC was measured using the glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c). Statistical analysis included correlations, t-tests, and multiple linear regression. On average CG had poor GC (HgbAlc M = 9.0, ± 2.12), but rated their PH better than others with diabetes. CG with high stress had more depressive symptoms (M = 23.75 ± 12.75) than CG with lower stress (M = 15.75 ± 12.01; t (40) = 2.00, p = .026). Almost half (40.5%) had depressive symptoms indicating possible clinical depression. The hypothesized models of caregiver stress, depressive symptoms, and self-care practices were not associated with CG PH (p .05) or GC (p>.05); however, greater number of persons in the household was associated with poor GC. This study provided support for the influence of CG stress on psychological health in the experience of Hispanic CG with diabetes. The findings of high levels of depressive symptoms and poor GC suggest the need for health care professionals to assess the psychological health of Hispanic CG and better educate them about the importance of GC for prevention of serious health problems.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this correlational research is to understand the relationships among the variables of exercise self-efficacy, stages of exercise change, health promotion behaviors, body mass index (BMI), health problems, and the level of physical activity in postmenopausal Hispanic women. The significance of this study is to contribute research that enhances the understanding of the relationship of psychosocial and health promotion correlates and physical activity in postmenopausal Hispanic women. On a national level, this is important because Hispanic women make up one of the fastest growing minority populations and they experience the second highest level of obesity. This research is essential for knowledge on which to base interventions for health promotion and the prevention of debilitating health challenges caused by obesity. The theoretical significance of this research is the application of the Transtheoretical Model on stages of exercise change and testing the complementing constructs of Pender's Health Promotion model, including self-efficacy and health promoting behaviors. A descriptive correlational design was used to examine the relationship among the variables. A sample of 121 participants was surveyed from clinical and community settings located in Southern California. A multivariate analysis was computed to explore the relative contribution of modifiable psychosocial correlates of exercise self-efficacy, stages of exercise change, health promotion behaviors, health problems and BMI with the level of physical activity. The study population had a mean age of 57 years, was primarily born in Mexico (47.3%), obese (36.9%), and reported between one and six health problems. The findings from this research demonstrated statistically significant correlations between exercise self-efficacy, stages of exercise change, health promotion behaviors, and level of physical activity. Further, there was a significant inverse correlation of the study variables with health problems and BMI. The findings from this research will develop knowledge useful for the future strategic development of physical activity interventions and programs to facilitate healthy lifestyles with the inclusion of physical activity that are specific to postmenopausal Hispanic women.
