Coping Skills Training For Parents Of Children With Type 1 Diabetes

According to the case study, Ellen is non-compliant with managing her diabetes and this behavior worsens when her mother tries to intervene. Borus and Laffel conducted a study in order to find out the adherence challenges in the management of T1D in adolescents and discovered that common barriers are peer influences, affect/depression, and disordered eating (2010). However, in order to overcome these barriers, Borus and Laffel suggest that interventions are successful

Empowerment parents of children with diabetes through provision of resources and emotional support, aids in dealing with the chronic disease¹⁵. Support groups can not only help parents keep abreast of new treatment options, but also provide strategies to better care for their children¹⁶.

Primary source: I accessed Ovid from the KU Online Library to find “studies written by the researchers who conducted them” (Polit & Beck, 2012, p.95). Some of the search terms that I used were diabetes management obstacles, diabetes management guidelines, diabetes obstacles, and poor diabetes management. I found an interesting article describing a study that was done in five Texas clinics to help manage diabetes within a set population. This study used community health workers to assist patients with their diabetes management. “Interventions utilizing community health workers (CHWs) to assist with diabetes management have demonstrated improvements in patient outcomes” (Walton, Snead, Collinsworth, and Schmidt, 2012, p.161). These healthcare workers created a plan of care for diabetic patients to participate in that provided these patients with longer doctors’ visits with more teaching and patient assessment. It also included more follow up care with continued longer doctors’ visits to ensure that they were on track with managing their diabetes. This study used statistical analysis to measure patients HbA1c levels throughout the study to measure the effectiveness of the study.

Prepare a critical analysis of a qualitative study focusing on the problem statement, study purpose, research question, literature review, and theoretical framework. This can be one of the selected articles from your previous literature review or a new peer-reviewed article.

Is there an abstract? What kind of information is found in this section? What are the key points from your article’s abstract? No there was not an abstract. In the section that would normally be an abstract, I found there were, aims and objectives, background, design, methods, results, conclusions, and relevance to clinical practice. In these sections, it does spell out what their objectives were, how they designed their test, the methods that they used, and some of the results from their surveys, and how they found a better way to educate their patients, by allowing the patients to determine what was important for them to learn.

When the most precious thing of the parents, their children have a condition such as type 1 diabetes, life is changed and their first reaction is anger, denial and doubt, and ask each other why my son? It is very important that parents understand that their child's condition is manageable and with good habits it can be controlled. The availability of evidence-based practice is a tool we can use to demonstrate parents that what we have told them has scientific evidence and it has been proven that with a medical follow up, monitoring and proper diet their child can have a normal lifestyle and a good quality of life. Having in mind the recommendations and guidelines that are provided to the feelings of grief, anger, denial and frustration will

Although neither of the instances: the young adult patient with a DKA episode, nor my instructor is an adolescent or a child, I decided to explore type I diabetes in adolescents and children because this is the development stage where most adolescents and children assume certain responsibilities. This is the stage where parents would like their children to have a role-play in their self-management of type 1 diabetes.

As a patient, coping with being newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, can be very stressful for the patient and family members involved in the patient plan of care. The patient will have to make drastic lifestyle changes in order to be in compliance with the recommended treatment by the members of the health care team. Being a patient, making the necessary lifestyle adjustment will assist with management of the newly diagnosed illness. This essay will discuss a family member who was recently diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type II and has to take insulin. The family member is trying to gain knowledge in order to have a clear understanding of this illness. A questionnaire has been created for the family member regarding being diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. The results from the questionnaire will be discussed and further analyzed. There will be a discussion on how the patient, family and friends are accepting and their impact on the patient being diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. Finally an analysis of the care plan developed for diabetes mellitus will be discussed. The purpose of this essay is to help facilitate the patient and family members involved in the patient plan of care with education and management of diabetes mellitus.

JB was terrified during the interview because she also had a history of gestation diabetes with her last son and was not eating as nutritionous as she wanted to and did not exercise regularly despite having available resources. This author can understand her fear for developing diabetes as the literature indicates that it is the sixth leading cause of death and is cited as a global epidemic (Castro et al. 2008). The author also understand her risk for developing type 2 diabetes, like many of her maternal relatives, because it is closely linked to obesity and sedentary lifestyle which are factors the patient has at this time (Shulze & Hu 2005). This author will not just solely focus on her risk factors but on promoting her prevention of diabetes and well being in the future through the development of a

Like the title of the article, the abstract is also fairly vague. It just barely makes it for the appropriate length for an abstract (at 104 words) and important information is left out because of this. The abstract does not describe the problem statement of the study, and only very briefly addresses the purpose of the research. The abstract states, “Fifty-two women over the age of 70 participated in a study to investigate the use of an individualized music protocol to

Patients diagnosed with diabetes and associated comorbidities often feel overwhelmed in accomplishing the daily self-care task required to control their diabetes. When these care task include the added burden of family, work, comorbidities, and limited income, the sense of being overwhelmed becomes magnified. Mrs. J.M a 43 year old Hispanic woman, diagnosed with type two diabetes 10 years past while pregnant with her last child, faces the potential need for insulin to be added to her care regimen. Pertinent details for consideration in planning diabetes educations/goal include: married, 3 children still living in the home, spouse is unemployed and patients’ mother lives in the home. Strong daily influence from Hispanic traditions, fairly sedentary

During the week that we spend at camp I hope that I will have a better understanding of Diabetes and how kids are dealing and coping with it. Sometimes we forget that when an illness happens in adults it is totally different on how it affects children so sometimes kids get ignored more often. So I hope this week will give me a better insight into what it is like for a child with diabetes day to day. My fear going into this week is that I won’t be able to tell when a kid is having a low blood sugar or a high one. I know what signs to look out for but I don’t have a lot of experience with this in kids. Kids are different on they present than adults so the fear is not recognizing it fast enough to get help for the child. What I think that I will contribute to the camp team is that I will be able to help with recognizing signs more quickly of hypo and hyperglycemia even though I still need some work. I think this will be beneficial because there may be members of the team that are less experienced so having someone that has at least seen this once will help.

In today’s world, parents have an abundance of worries when it comes to their children. Drugs, bad grades, and pre marital sex are just some things that may plague a parent with sleepless nights. But even on the worst of those nights of worry, most parents can’t imagine that their child could face an illness.
