The purpose of this scoping review is to identify cardiovascular interventions that are designed to address the needs of immigrant women across North America and Europe. The articles retrieved were reviewed independently by both the first author and a trained research assistant. Although the search revealed many articles and resources related to supporting cardiovascular self-management behaviors among individuals, few focused on interventions designed for immigrant women who were diagnosed and living with cardiovascular disease. Also, it was difficult to determine the quality of the literature retrieved, as the main goal of this scoping review was to assess the body of literature and categorize materials by common themes and topics. A more in-depth structured systematic review is needed to determine the quality of evidence being presented and to serve as a rationale for the design and implementation of future culturally sensitive interventions delivered to immigrant women diagnosed with cardiovascular disease.

Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition that requires consistent medical care to help control glycemic indices. Diabetes self-management is found to be essential for optimal glycemic control. This study aimed to investigate the predictors of diabetes self-management in adult with T2DM. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. A purposive sample of 142 adults with T2DM attended an outpatient endocrine clinic in an academic hospital in Ilam, Iran was invited to participate in this study from September to October 2016. The data were collected using a combination of validated questionnaires and the blood sample. IBM SPSS software version 22 used to conduct the analysis. Hierarchical linear regression analysis with the stepwise method was used to explore the predictors of diabetes self-management. Results: The mean age of participants was 54.2 ± (11.8) years. The mean duration of diabetes was 8.9 ± (7.4). Hierarchical linear regression analysis determined that self-management behaviors had positive relationship with efficacy expectation (B= 0.445, P-value< 0.01), quality of life (B= 0.222, P-value= 0.02), and has a negative relationship with HbA1c (B= -0.194, P-value= 0.01). Conclusion: The result of our study indicate that better diabetes self-management behaviors can be predicted by higher efficacy expectation, the better quality of life and lower HbA1c levels. Future interventions should focus on enhancing efficacy expectation, quality of life and optimizing glycemic control to improve self-management of diabetes.

Introduction: More than 42 million people are estimated to suffer from valvular heart disease (VHD) worldwide with a prevalence of 5.3% to 7.7% in the Chinese adult population. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between symptoms, hope, self-management behaviors, and quality of life (QOL) for preoperative patients with symptomatic VHD in a rural area of China. Method: This was a descriptive comparative study that took place in Nanning, China, between January 2015 and March 2016. The sample was 128 preoperative patients with symptomatic VHD. Data were collected using the Symptom Distress Questionnaire, Herth Hope Index, Self-Management Scale, and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire. Results: Data from 122 patients were included in the final analysis. Mean scores of hope, self-management, and QOL were 36.71, 55.27, and 55.56. Worse total scores of symptom severity ( r = 0.57 to 0.69, p < .001) and self-management behaviors ( r = −0.22 to −0.25, p < .05) were associated with poorer QOL. Fatigue, loss of appetite, and self-management behaviors explained 49.90% variance of QOL ( p < .001). Discussion: Fatigue, loss of appetite, and self-management influenced QOL of patients with symptomatic VHD. Interventions aimed at strengthening self-management and relieving symptoms should be tailored for patients with symptomatic VHD base on their traditional animist belief and food culture in rural areas of China such as the Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Forms Of Knowledge

Abstract Background In the context of chronic diseases, it is now recognized that experiences of planning a new life with diabetes are very informative, and are a source of knowledge that can be used to improve patient care and quality of life. However, the professionals in health and the patients’ therapeutic education are still struggling to translate this knowledge into their practices or to make use of it, as long as its forms remain largely unknown and it is not known how to identify these. Objective: The study aims to identify these knowledges and to report on how it is produced, based on an analysis of the experiences of diabetic patients in Yaoundé, Cameroon. Methods The study combines a phenomenographic approach aiming at ethnographing the form and contents of lessons learned from life experiences with diabetes; and an operation of reflexive ethnography centered on the patient, apprehending the process of elaboration or production of these teachings. It includes six diabetics selected from the typical sampling method. The data collected were analysed using paradoxical analysis and interpreted in a pragmatic perspective. Results The results reveal various mechanisms of self-management of the disease and stigma, developed by patients, such as: identity recomposition; valorization of treatment by promoting its benefits to others; control of information about one’s illness oscillating between concealment and disclosure; therapeutic adjustments according to the life situations or interactions; rearrangement of individual and family habits; listening and decoding of the language of illness, body and the effects of food on the body; learning of conceptualized knowledge about diabetes and nutrition through various sources of information. Conclusions the study suggests that these mechanisms should be considered as relevant forms of knowledge; and the should be used to improve both preventive, therapeutic and educational practices and the quality of life of the diabetics. Key messages The mechanisms of self-management of diabetes and stigma develop by diabetics trough their experience of planning a new life with diabetes should be considered as relevant forms of knowledge. These mechanisms should be used by health professionnals and patients’ education professionals to improve their practices and the quality of life of diabetics.

The Impact

Objective: This scoping review was conducted to explore the impact of education programme on asthmatic children's knowledge of asthma, quality of life, school absenteeism, and self-management. Data sources: The review was restricted to randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental designs. Studies published in English between 2000 and 2017 were retrieved from CINAHL, MEDLINE, Ovid SP, The Cochrane Library, ProQuest, and Google Scholar databases. Study selections: Along with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria for selecting studies, an evaluation for the quality of the experimental research based on the level of evidence was applied to categorize studies into poor to good quality. Results: Of 1256 items initially identified references, 18 studies were included in the review to cover the impact of asthma education on major four areas; children's knowledge of asthma, quality of life, school absenteeism, and self-management. Conclusion: Despite some inconsistencies between the reviewed studies, asthma education programs demonstrated a positive effect on children's knowledge of asthma, quality of life, school absenteeism, and self-management. Further research on the effect of asthma education on children's activity level, symptoms, and emotional domains are recommended.
