Filter by:Hypertension (HTN) rates have increased worldwide, but the most significant increase in the incidence of morbidity and mortality has been in African Americans (AA)1,2 (43% vs 27% for other U.S. population groups). Despite evidence of positive benefits from lifestyle modification (healthy diet, reduced sodium intake, increased physical activity, smoking cessation) and prescribed antihypertensive therapy (AHT) many AA with HTN do not adhere to their treatment regimens. Consistent, effective lifelong self-management is required to sustain optimal BP control and thus reduce morbidity and mortality. Self-managing HTN to a blood pressure (BP) <130/80 mm Hg presents challenges such as juggling multiple medications and health care providers, dealing with complex recommendations and treatment regimens, and coping with negative emotional states. Few studies have examined the biopsychosocial mechanisms that foster effective HTN self-management and resilience among AA living with HTN. Understanding the mechanisms that influence HTN self-management and resilience in AA holds the promise of new modifiable targets for behavior-change interventions. This study explores the relationship among resilience precursors on hypertension (HTN) self-management behaviors, stress response, and the effects that these relationships have on health outcomes-health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and blood pressure (BP) in African Americans (AA) with HTN over a 6-month period.
Hypertension (HTN) has a greater impact on African Americans (AA) than any other U.S. racial group. Uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) contributes to higher rates of disability, death, and health resource use among AA. HTN is the single most influential risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), as well as a risk factor for the incidence of stroke, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and dementia. Importantly, older adults account for 15% of the U.S. population, and two-thirds of older adults over age 60 have HTN, with higher rates observed in AA older adults. Strategies to support self-managing HTN and BP control are crucial as the older population is projected to age considerably and become more racially and ethnically diverse. Research has documented the negative effects on health and health outcomes of poorly controlled BP and is one of the most important modifiable CVD risk factors. Lower BP targets will require aggressive management and an increase in antihypertensive medications. Therefore, to achieve lower targets in this population, greater efforts, including patient-centered methods will be needed to support self-managing HTN, especially in terms of medication adherence. As we shifted into the digital age, the use of mHealth technologies (smart phones, applications, SMS or text messaging) has been a powerful approach and mechanism for the treatment and management of chronic diseases. However, behavioral interventions that incorporate technology do not reach minorities or disadvantaged AA older adults with HTN. OPtimizing Technology to Improve Medication Adherence and BP Control (OPTIMA-BP) will leverage existing knowledge of effective technology-based components for HTN self-management to support and improve BP control using unique aspects of mHealth platforms in AA older adults. Findings from this study, if confirmed, will improve BP control and support self-managing HTN, as well as has the potential to close the health disparity gap between AA and non-AA older adults with HTN.
Hypertension is a major cause of death worldwide. Patients should adjust their lifestyle and learn how to maintain a balance between self-management of a disease and their daily livelihood. Knowledge is networked, mobile devices can be used as a way of health education. The purpose of this study is to evaluation the effectiveness of the disease self-management program through a mobile applications for patients with hypertension. Statistical analyses was used analysis of covariance for checking the effect of interventions. Through the calculation by a statistical power analysis formula, the study takes 70 samples and divides them into a control group (usual care) and an experimental group (disease self-management program through a mobile applications) by the single blind randomized controlled trial, whereby each groups has 35 samples. The first step investigate the physiological indicators, mental health, self-management, quality of life of the patients. For the experimental group, after the pre-test the study set up a health guide for the disease self-management program with a mobile applications. The experimental group received the mobile apps educational program for at least 30 minutes each session and at least once every two days. After two weeks and six weeks, a follow-up telephone interview helped to strengthen the health self-management self-confidence. The effect of interventions was then evaluated after three months when the patients returned. Therefore, the self-management of a disease can be improved and patients will learn to live in harmony with hypertension by improving their mental health, self-management, and quality of life.
Diabetes is one of the biggest public health problems of the 21st century. Type 2 diabetes mellitus accounts for more than 90% of all diabetes cases and is the most common type of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes, in which genetic and environmental factors play a role,It is a metabolic disorder in which insulin resistance, decrease in insulin secretion and incretin hormone deficiency are effective in its physiopathology, characterized by polydipsia, polyphagia and polyuria, where the organism cannot adequately benefit from carbohydrates, fats and proteins due to insulin deficiency or defects in the effect of insulin, which requires continuous medical care. Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, end-stage renal disease, coronary artery disease, stroke and inferior extremity amputations. These complications due to diabetes impair the patient's quality of life and impose social, financial and emotional burdens on both the patient and their family. Diabetes education should be provided by healthcare professionals in order to ensure that diabetes patients knowledge and skills to prevent complications and provide better self management and self-care. However, The fact that individuals do not have time to spare for face-to-face health education, the possibility of accessing information in the web environment repeatedly and the lower cost of education in the web environment compared to classical education increases the importance of web-based health education. The widespread use of mobile technologies in recent years has led to the development of new mobile applications related to diabetes. The disquisition proposal the investigators prepared was created to investigate the effect of mobile application supported diabetes and nutrition education on type 2 diabetes self-management and blood sugar in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients. In this context, with the development of a mobile application prepared in visual, text and video format to provide diabetes education, the monitoring of blood parameters before and after diabetes education, and the implementation of the Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management Scale, (which consists of 19 items developed in 2020), and type 2 diabetes self-management and the effect on blood sugar will be examined. This study will provide answers to questions about the effectiveness of diabetes education given to Type 2 Diabetes patients via mobile applications on diabetes self-management and blood parameters.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an important chronic disease that causes increasing mortality and morbidity globally, as well as a social and economic burden. All symptoms (cough, sputum production, etc.), especially dyspnea in COPD, the chronicity of the disease and the need for long-term care limit the lives of the patients. Dyspnea occurring in COPD negatively affects the self-confidence of patients by restricting their activities of daily living, thus causing a decrease in their self-efficacy levels. Low self-efficacy levels cause patients to limit their activities more. Nurses play an important role in ensuring the management of COPD, supporting patients to continue their activities of daily living, and increasing their self-efficacy levels. Nursing care that includes patient education and counseling is important in providing disease management and symptom control, and increasing the self-efficacy levels of patients. During self-management training, it is necessary to ensure that the patient is an active participant, to use a motivating communication style in the behavior change process and to encourage patients. In this process, it is stated that it is important to use motivational interview techniques in self-management training given by nurses.
This study was conducted to examine the effects of IMB model-based diabetes education and Motivational Interviewing for adults with Type 2 diabetes on care outcomes This study was conducted to examine the effects of IMB model-based diabetes education and Motivational Interviewing interventions on care outcomes for adults with Type 2 diabetes (diabetes knowledge, health belief, self-efficacy, self-management, HbA1c and BKİ).
Individuals who have COPD need a nursing service, which provides qualified and effective professional care, self-care, and supportive care to perform their daily life activities, and improve their quality of life. It is predicted that the Chronic Care-Based Training Program to be implemented and the follow-ups can increase the level of self-efficacy and satisfaction, and raise awareness on the management of the disease in patients. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of the Chronic Care Model based education and telephone follow-up given to patients with COPD on self-efficacy and patient-reported outcomes. Also, the Modified Patient-Reported Outcome Scale for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-mCOPD-PRO scale, which will be used in the study, will be adapted into Turkish language and culture, and will be used in the study after its validity and reliability are examined.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of motivational interviewing on self-management of treatment regimen, medication adherence, and patient outcomes in adult kidney transplant recipients between 3 months and 6 months after kidney transplant in the transplant outpatient clinic. Design: The research is a single-centered, single-blind, parallel and 1:1 randomized active comparative experimental study. Method: A total of 80 individuals, of the 40 in the control group and 40 in the intervention group, will be included in the study. Motivational interview sessions for the intervention group will be held 3 times between 15-30 minutes with an interval of 10 days. The control group will be given routine care (approximately 1 hour of face-to-face standard training) by the nurse educator. Within the research pattern, intervention and control groups will be applied pre-test at the first interview and post test after one month. In addition, follow-up test will be performed 3th month. The data will be obtained using the Self-Management Scale in Kidney Transplant Recipients, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for self-care and VAS for medication adherence. In the study, Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials- SPIRIT(2013) and CONSORT 2010 (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) were used.
The aim of the study; to determine the effect of education program given to adolescents diagnosed with epilepsy and their parents based on Ryan and Sawin's individual and family self-management theory, on adolescents 'attitudes towards disease, self-efficacy, quality of life and parents' nurse-parent support levels.
Individuals with cancer must overcome multiple, ongoing challenges ("self-advocate") related to their cancer experience to receive patient-centered care. Women with metastatic cancer often face significant challenges managing their quality of life concerns and cancer- and treatment-related symptoms. If they do not self-advocate to manage these concerns, they risk having poor quality of life, high symptom burden, and care that is not patient-centered. Serious games (video games that teach) are effective health interventions that allow users to vicariously engage in situations reflecting their personal experiences, receive meaningful information, and learn personally relevant skills that they can apply in real life. The goal of the current study is to test the efficacy of a novel intervention using a serious game platform to teach self-advocacy skills to women with advanced cancer. The Strong Together intervention consists of a multi-session, interactive serious game application with tailored self-advocacy goal-setting and training. The serious game is based on a self-advocacy conceptual framework and applies behavior change theories and serious game mechanisms to promote skill development and implementation. The game works by immersing users in the experiences of characters who are women with advanced cancer; requiring users to make decisions about how the characters self-advocate; demonstrating the positive and negative consequences of self-advocating or not, respectively; and providing multiple, individualized feedback mechanisms and game features to enforce self-advocacy skill acquisition and transference to real life.
