Abstract:
Nursing has its own unique contribution to make to diabetes care, but that impact is rarely quantified, measured or conceptualised. The thesis makes this contribution in the form of three published research projects and proposes an adaptation to Abbott’s conceptual framework on the division of expert labour. The first research project demonstrates the value of the hospital based diabetes specialist nurse using a randomised controlled trial; the second delineates the competences of different levels of nurses in diabetes care using a nominal group technique and the third project provides a baseline of the state of nursing in relation to the initiation of insulin therapy using a survey approach. Each project is followed by a personal reflection and discussion of the implications in the light of Abbott’s framework. Abbott’s thesis is that the development of professions is determined by a series of jurisdictional disputes rather than by a grand plan of the professions themselves. While this assertion does not always hold true in diabetes care the studies do concur with Abbott in other ways, particularly that the profession can be taken forward by taking responsibility for appropriate educational preparation, extending the boundaries of knowledge and the nursing role where appropriate. The discussion cautions against setting up professional edifices that become self-serving and stifle development, either by rigid enforcement of competences or by fossilising the nursing contribution to diabetes care. In terms of the care of the person with diabetes, nursing remains most effective within the umbrella of a multi-disciplinary team while demonstrating its own contribution. Nursing should show professionalism by continually striving for excellence, developing new knowledge and pushing role boundaries when it is in the best interests of the patient. The original contribution to knowledge is shown in the research projects’ contribution to the evolution of diabetes nursing in the United Kingdom and the proposal that Abbott’s framework be modified to put more emphasis on the task of work to achieve optimum patient outcomes than on the jostling of professions; acknowledging the growth in multi-disciplinary team-working and rise in the power of organisations at the expense of the power of individual professions since his work was first published.

Abstract:
Nurses play a central role in preparing patients for discharge. Diabetes affects one-third of all hospitalized patients, with readmission rates 20% higher for patients with diabetes. Low health literacy affects patients' ability to understand education provided during a hospitalization, especially in diabetic patients who are required to perform complex self-care activities. The rehabilitation nurses within the practicum site struggled to provide adequate diabetes education, leading to patients' readmissions and frequent calls to the nursing unit post discharge. The purpose of this project was to educate nurses on an inpatient unit about survival skills and teach-back approaches to improve inpatient diabetes education. Orem's self-care nursing deficit theory guided the project. Nursing literature provided current evidence-based practice guidelines on diabetes education for the staff education program. An expert panel was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the project in improving rehabilitation nurses' knowledge, skills, and ability to administer patient education to diabetic patients using the teach-back method. All 6 expert panel members agreed that the in-service content was relevant to the environment and would improve the nurses' ability to deliver diabetic education on the rehabilitation unit using the teach-back method. Current knowledge of diabetes education practices and strategies to overcome low health literacy can bring positive social change and improve nursing practice by advancing the nurses' ability to provide inpatient diabetes education.

Abstract:

Abstract For decades, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been prevalent in various vulnerable communities in America. American Haitians are disproportionately affected by T2DM. Diabetes is the primary cause of death among elderly Haitians, most of whom have no knowledge of diabetes management. The purpose of the project is to determine if an educational intervention would increase compliance with diet and exercise, decrease blood glucose, and promote successful management of T2DM among elderly diabetic patients living in District 16. A trans-theoretical model (TTM) that emphasizes intentional behavior change guided the project. A convenience sample of five females and five males ( n = 10) between 65 to 82 years of age who had been diagnosed with uncontrolled T2DM participated in the project. Interviews were conducted via focus groups and were audiotaped and analyzed using the Krueger and Casey method to extract themes. The emergent themes of the project were the standard of care for diabetes, diabetes care support, access to services and resources, diabetes knowledge and self-management, the educational intervention of diabetes, and cultural beliefs. There were marked differences in pre-mean finger sticks values of the participants when compared to post-intervention finger stick values; mean finger stick values began at 244.55 and decreased to 129.85. The efficacy of the exercises and diet were based on the difference in Finger stick values. A paired t-test showed a significant decrease in finger stick values, indicating finger stick improvement, and a reduction in baseline finger stick values after diabetes education intervention (t = 14.76; p < 0.05). Thus, diet and exercises decreased finger stick levels in Haitian patients with uncontrolled T2DM. There is limited transferability of the project due to small sample size.

Abstract:

Background: Diabetes was recently declared the fifth leading cause of death in minority groups with minorities constituting 25% of all adult patients with diabetes in the United States (USDHHS, 2012). A 2007–2009 National Survey of people, aged 20 or older, diagnosed with diabetes demonstrated a prevalence rate of 7.1% for non–Hispanic whites, 8.4% for Asian Americans, 12.6% for non–Hispanics black, and 11.8% for Hispanics (CDC, 2010).

Problem: Decreasing avoidable risk factors for diabetes complications through effective culturally competent diabetes education can diminish diabetes related complications. Yet, culturally appropriate approaches for minority groups infrequently have been investigated (ADA, 2009).

Research question: Does Latino pastor delivered diabetes education increase diabetes knowledge in a Latino population?

Research Design and Method: This study used a two–group pretest posttest quasi–experimental design. A convenience sample of Latino patients volunteering from two different churches were recruited, n=40 non-intervention group n=42 intervention group. Outcome measurement included The Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ–24) level measured before and after the intervention. The nonintervention group had standard passive booklet distribution. The intervention group also had standard booklet distribution and active participation of a respected community leader.

Results: One hundred thirteen Latino volunteers completed the diabetes survey. Eighty–two respondents (non–intervention n=40, intervention n=42) were met the criteria of completing the surveys correctly. The independent–samples t–test comparing the mean scores of the non–intervention and intervention groups found a significant difference between the mean scores (t= -37.584; df= 65.547; p <0.00). The mean score of the posttest for the non–intervention group (m= 5.92) was significantly lower than that of the intervention group (m=19.14).

Importance: The significant findings from this study with the pastor as the health educator, underscores the potential force that lives within a community, and the need for health care professionals to engage and utilize the trusted community leaders to disseminate important health information.

Abstract:
Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) and depression are important comorbid conditions that can lead to more serious health outcomes. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) supports routine screening for depression as part of standard diabetes management. The PHQ2 and PHQ9 questionnaires are good diagnostic screening tools used for major depressive disorders in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). This quality improvement study aims to compare the rate of depression screening, treatment, and referral to behavioral health in adult patients with DM2 pre and post-integration of depression screening tools into the electronic health record (EHR). Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review on patients aged 18 years and above with a diagnosis of DM2 and no initial diagnosis of depression or other mental illnesses. Chart reviews included those from 2018 or prior for before integration data and 2020 to present for after integration. Sixty subjects were randomly selected from a pool of 33,695 patients in the clinic with DM2 from the year 2013-2021. Thirty of the patients were prior to the integration of depression screening tools PHQ2 and PHQ9 into the EHR, while the other half were post-integration. The study population ranged from 18-83 years old. Results All subjects (100%) were screened using PHQ2 before integration and after integration. Twenty percent of patients screened had a positive PHQ2 among subjects before integration, while 10% had a positive PHQ2 after integration. Twenty percent of patients were screened with a PHQ9 pre-integration which accounted for 100% of those subjects with a positive PHQ2. However, of the 10% of patients with a positive PHQ2 post-integration, only 6.7 % of subjects were screened, which means not all patients with a positive PHQ2 were adequately screened post-integration. Interestingly, 10% of patients were treated with antidepressants before integration, while none were treated with medications in the post-integration group. There were no referrals made to the behavior team in either group. Conclusion There is no difference between the prevalence of depression screening before or after integration of depression screening tools in the EHR. The study noted that there is a decrease in the treatment using antidepressants after integration. However, other undetermined conditions could have influenced this. Furthermore, not all patients with positive PHQ2 in the after-integration group were screened with PHQ9. The authors are unsure if the integration of the depression screens influenced this change. In both groups, there is no difference between referrals to the behavior team. Implications to Nursing Practice This quality improvement study shows that providers are good at screening their DM2 patients for depression whether the screening tools were incorporated in the EHR or not. However, future studies regarding providers, support staff, and patient convenience relating to accessibility and availability of the tool should be made. Additional issues to consider are documentation reliability, hours of work to scan documents in the chart, risk of documentation getting lost, and the use of paper that requires shredding to comply with privacy.
