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.

Book excerpt: "Adult onset, type2 diabetes affects Latino families at a higher rate than other ethnicities and negatively impacting their quality of life, ability to financially succeed, and ultimately impacting our overall economy. Multiple resources are available in the country to help people learn how to prevent, control, and manage diabetes. However, the need exists for creative ways to empower Latino families in diabetes self-management and increase their awareness and understanding of the nuts and bolts of this illness. One specific segment of Latino families of major concern is those who may have remote or no access to health care due to their work in intense manual labor industries such as winery fields, dairies and others. This research uses a case study methodology to examine curriculum, Field of Dreams, as a model to empower this segment of our population, adult Latinos, working in such environments, in type2 diabetes self-management." -- from the abstract. p.6.

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is known to hinder a person's ability to perform daily activities and is a grave problem for those who rely on routine to survive. Depressive symptoms are often prevalent among adults diagnosed with Type II diabetes and treatment to reduce them is crucial for disease management and overall health status. People of Hispanic/Latino origin are at higher risk of developing Type II diabetes and more likely to have both comorbidities. However, little is known about how depressive symptoms impact diabetes self-management. For Hispanic adults, even more so those who identify as undocumented, living with depression while keeping up with the demands of a diabetes regimen comes with multiple barriers. Interventions aimed at improving depressive symptoms while increasing adherence to diabetes routine care explore social and ecological factors that play a role in mental health and diabetes status.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This literature review evaluates the direct factors associated with Latino older adults with diabetes accessing or continuing treatment. Secondly, it considers recommended interventions to the social problem consisting of the application of self-management and community health worker educational programs to target change among the Latino older adults with diabetes and their care. Such Factors between Latino older adults with diabetes and treatment outcomes were associated with demographics, acculturation and sociopolitical factors Results from this literature indicated that utilizing self-management and community health worker educational programs can be beneficial to Latinos that struggle accessing treatment or continuing treatment. The research findings suggested for future research to include other Latino subgroups as samples Research should target more males within their studies and should consider aiming at exploring the benefits of including social support within their studies. In addition to this, studies should also target other forms of interventions to address lack of healthcare access among the Latino older adult population with diabetes.
Book Synopsis The Socio-Cultural Influences and Process of Living with Diabetes for the Migrant Latino Adult by : Dawn Marie Weiler
Download or read book The Socio-Cultural Influences and Process of Living with Diabetes for the Migrant Latino Adult written by Dawn Marie Weiler and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore the socio-cultural influences and social context associated with living with type 2 diabetes among migrant Latino adults. Extensive research in diabetes care has been conducted; however, there is a significant knowledge gap related to the factors that influcence the achievement of glycemic control and self-management practices of the Latino population in general, and migrant workers specifically. Based on well-documented disparities in complications and health outcomes among Latino adults compared to Anglo-American adults, there is sufficient evidence to question whether traditional Anglo beliefs about self-management are successful or appropriate for the migrant Latino population. Traditional models view self-management as an individual responsibility. Whether this view is congruent with the collectivist cultural tradition held by many Latino adults is unclear. Equally unclear is the degree to which using traditional Anglo-American models of self-management, in teaching about managing type 2 diabetes, influences health outcomes in this population. Culturally congruent care and nursing interventions involves more than an understanding of language and dietary preferences. A qualitative descriptive study using grounded theory techniques was conducted to provide a comprehensive summary of the events in the everyday terms of those events. Data analysis was completed using conventional content analysis strategies. An over-arching meta-theme"Self Management in a Social Environment"emerged. Every aspect of the process of self-management, as described in thefour major themes, (1) Family Cohesion, (2) Social Stigma of Disease, (3) Social Expectations/Perceptions of"Illness, "and (4) Disease Knowledge and Understanding, was influenced by the social context. This study revealed several socio-cultural influences that impact diabetes self-management practices for the migrant Latino adult. The familist traditions, central to the Mexican culture had both positive and negative consequences on diabetes management. Social stigma, in relation to a diabetes diagnosis, is likely not exclusive to this population. However, the associated negative social expectations and perceptions might well be unique. The discovery surrounding the lack of, and approach to, diabetes management education provided to individuals, families, and community members may well be central to improving the health of this population.

Book Synopsis Self-care Expressions, Patterns, and Practices of Latinos/Hispanics for the Management of Type 2 Diabetes by : Karen A. Amirehsani

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.
