Filter by:Because of the unforeseen rate of increase in case numbers, the high rates of mortality and morbidity, and the increased socio economic load it causes, diabetes has become the most discussed chronic and widespread metabolic disease in Turkey, and throughout the World, there are focused efforts to find a solution. It is very important for a person to self-assesss and evaluate to draw a roadmap for improved outcomes in a disease with a high financial and moral burden. A nurse is not only a caregiver to patients, but also a person who guides them to increased engagement and motivation in the care of their illness. Integrative Nurse Coaching is gaining notoriaty as an effective method to improve patient engagament and motivation in self-responsibility for health. The Integrative Nurse Coach Academy in the USA carries out studies and trainings to further this improvement. With cooperation between United States and Turkish nurse colleagues, it aims to bring Integrative Nurse Coach practice to Turkey. The Integrative Nurse Coach uses the nursing process as a framework to guide nurse coaching practice. This requires a shift in traditional nursing terminology and meaning to understand and incorporate the patient's subjective experience as follows: from assessment to stablishing a relationship, identifying readiness for change and the resources available to the patient for change; from nursing diagnosis to identifying opportunities and issues; from outcomes to having the patient set the agenda for achievement of the patient's goals; from 3 planning to creating the structure of the coaching interaction; from intervention to empowering the patient to reach goals; and from evaluating to assisting the patient to determine the extent to which goals were achieved. The Theory of Integrative Nurse Coaching (TINC) , developed by the Integrative Nurse Coach Association , sheds light on this point. The TINC encompasses many holistic nursing theories and contains three concepts and five components. The three concepts are healing, metaparadigm in nursing theory (nurse, person, health, environment), and patterns of knowing in nursing (personal, empirics, aesthetics, ethical, not knowing, sociopolitical. The TINC five components include Integrative Nurse Coach Self-Development (self-reflection, self-assessment, self-evaluation self-care), Integral Perspective and Change, Integrative Lifestyle Health and Well-Being, Awareness and Choice, and Listening With Heart The five components all have equal value and form the basis for the nurse coach professional practice model. There is a parallel process of self-development for both the nurse coach and the client. The SelfDevelopment component empowers individuals (including the nurse coach) to focus on their health and wellness from an integral perspective and to identify their individual knowledge, expertise, strengths, and resources, while recognizing the fluidity of the change. The TINC is designed to guide nurse coaching practice, education, research, and health care policy. The theory emphasizes, describes, and directs the practice of nurse coaching, a recognized holistic nursing modality. It has been seen that the TINC framework is very suitable for individuals with diabetes to provide their own management.
Women with type 2 diabetes (n=150) experiencing ≥1 storage lower urinary tract symptoms and poor sleep health will be recruited from the outpatient departments or wards/units of the selected hospitals/clinics. Our study aims to examine the effects of conservative management incorporating urologic health promotion and sleep health promotion on relieving storage lower urinary tract symptoms and poor sleep, and on improving urologic health self-management behaviors and health-related quality of life. Women who agree to participate will be randomly assigned into the intervention group A, intervention group B, or comparison group. The intervention group A receives a 4-month conservative management with sleep hygiene related adjustments, pelvic floor muscle training, and urologic health promotion. The intervention group B receives a 4-month conservative management with brief behavioral treatment for insomnia (BBTI), pelvic floor muscle training, and urologic health promotion. The comparison group receives information related to pelvic floor muscle training and urologic health promotion, and receives a brief conservative management related to sleep hygiene adjustments after the completion of data collection. Information related to intervention effects is obtained by a questionnaire, a wristwatch-like actigraphy, and physical activity/diet/voiding/sleep logs from all participants at 4 data collection points: baseline, and 2-, 4-, 6-month follow-ups. Our study hypothesis is that the intervention effects on relieving storage lower urinary tract symptoms and poor sleep, and on improving urologic health self-management behaviors and health-related quality of life in the intervention group A or B are superior to the changes revealed in the comparison group.
Lifestyle factors, including diet, play an important role in the achievement of glycemic targets in patients with diabetes, even with the use of automated insulin delivery (AID) systems. Advanced hybrid closed-loop systems (AHCL), by implementing innovative and powerful control algorithms, have been shown to improve the post-meal glycemic control in their users through the delivery of automatic correction boluses. However, data about the influence of the daily amount of carbohydrate intake on glycemic outcomes in youth with type 1 diabetes using AHCL are missing. Therefore, this study will evaluate the association between daily carbohydrate intakes and meal patterns on glycemic control of young people living with type 1 diabetes using an AHCL system (Medtronic MiniMed 780G; Medtronic, Northridge, California) under real-life conditions.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if repeat bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccinations can confer a beneficial immune and metabolic effect in new onset pediatric Type 1 diabetes.
Studies were found that a significant relationship between the severe periodontitis and increased CAVI values. While the exact mechanisms linking periodontitis, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease are not yet fully understood, it is clear that these diseases are interconnected. There are limited data in the literature evaluating the risk of atherosclerosis in diabetic individuals with periodontal disease. In our survey, we hypothesised that severe periodontitis may be a risk factor for the development of subclinical atherosclerosis among people with type 2 diabetes. Thus, we aimed to investigate the potential risk of subclinical atherosclerosis by using a new surrogate marker CAVI in severe periodontitis patients with short-term diabetes.
A qualitative study conducted in 2018 Exploring socio-cultural factors impacting adherence to type 2 diabetes therapy in rural Sargodha featured respondents who were primarily doctors, patients, and. Diet, exercise, and smoking were all variables. The void we investigators will fill will be comprised of several professionals assessing sleep and sedentary lifestyle. A book on anthropology published in 2021 shows the gap are still the same about sedentary life style. The investigators aim to determine lifestyle practices in relation to sedentary behaviour in different occupations & comparing which profession is prone to chronic diseases in accordance to lifestyle practices
This study aims to design, develop, and evaluate a smart insole to predict the formation of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in diabetic participants at risk of developing them. The study will be conducted in two phases, using mixed-method research and engaging both diabetic participants and NHS clinicians. In Phase 1, the user-centred design of the smart insole will be developed through focus groups and online questionnaires, and a preliminary safety evaluation of the insole will be conducted with healthy team members. In Phase 2, the insole will be tested, validated, and data will be collected through baseline visits, lab studies, and insole data collection with shape-changed (pressure off-loading) insoles. The study will be conducted by researchers from the University of Manchester and the University of Exeter. It will include 10 people with diabetes and 10 healthy controls in Phase 2.
The proposed project will implement and evaluate a brief Community Health Worker (CHW) intervention through the Albany Area Primary Health Care, a rural Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). The primary goal of this study is to maximize effective outreach, education, and communication through CHWs in order to facilitate improved COVID-19 vaccine confidence and uptake in underserved and vulnerable communities. CHWs will be deployed to the homes of adults with increased risk of morbidity and mortality (i.e., African Americans or Latinos with uncontrolled diabetes or prediabetes, age <50 years, and non-COVID-19 vaccinated) in order to educate them about diabetes, COVID-19 and related vaccines. Health assessments, including blood glucose measurement, will be conducted on the indexed patient and offered to all other adult family members in the household (i.e., "bubble"). Adults with Type 2 diabetes likely live in households with other adults who have or are at increased risk for diabetes (i.e., prediabetes and obesity).1 It is expected that they will also share similar COVID-19 exposure risk. The specific aims are to: 1) Evaluate a community-driven education program to increase and enhance COVID-19 vaccine confidence and uptake in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes and their families (i.e., their "bubble") and 2) Evaluate a community-driven education program to improve diabetes self-management behaviors and related outcomes (e.g., blood glucose) in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes in rural, Southwest Georgia.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant healthcare burden and remains a heavily researched disease entity. Originating in Wuhan, China in late 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has infected over 600 million individuals worldwide. ABO blood groups have been known to increase the human body's susceptibility to different pathogens, such as hepatitis B virus, MERS-COV, SARS-COV, norovirus, and malaria, to name a few. As such, the association of ABO blood groups and COVID-19 infection and disease severity has come into question.
This study has a parallel, non-inferiority design, comparing the 24h AUC of Nutren Diabetes group with Fresubin Diabetes group at 2-4 days since the start of formal intervention.
