Background: The Center for Disease Control and Prevention in 2016 identified and further classified Diabetes Mellitus as one of the chronic diseases, a leading cause of morbidity, and considered a major health problem in the Asia Pacific. Hence the quality of life as the optimum goal of any person is only achieved through appropriate self-care management. The person is a major key player of the nursing paradigm plays a crucial task in self-care since his/her responsibility is to assure balance between behavioral and environmental dynamics.Objective: To examine the self-management behaviors of clients medically diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus and evaluate the correlation between self-management behaviors and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).Methods: The study utilized the validated Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ) tool to 600 adults from the lower district of Khong Khlong, Kamphaengphet, Thailand. Through descriptive design, the investigation focused on major behavioral categories such as glucose management, physical activity, health care use and dietary control on at-risk stroke clients with DM aging 35 years old and above. Respondents with absolute complications of Diabetes Mellitus like stroke, blindness, undergoing dialysis even amputation are excluded to participate.Results: The findings revealed that most clients with DM are married female, ages 51-60 years old and is diagnosed of living with the disease for 6-10 years. Further, the respondents are generally aware on self-management activities for DM, however not all of them submitted for glucose monitoring program. On one hand, the respondents have high regard on controlling dietary intake to avoid the increase of blood glucose during scheduled tests while results also show that most of the respondents are having poor engagement on physical activities.Conclusion: It is concluded that self- management behaviors are strongly associated with HbA1c. Nonpharmacologic and identified independent nursing actions proven to aid clients with diabetes mellitus should be advocated in combating the disease.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) has emerged as an important focus of national public health efforts because of the rapid increase in the burden of this disease. In particular, DM disproportionately affects Native Americans. Adequate management of DM requires that patients participate as active partners in their own care and much of patient activation and empowerment can be attributed to their experience with DM and self-care. That is, the degree to which the patient feels the disease intrudes on his or her daily life would impact the motivation for self-care. We conducted a study in collaboration with 2 tribal nations in Oklahoma, collecting data on survey questions regarding intrusiveness of illness and self-management behaviors from a sample of 159 members of the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations. Previously validated variables measuring intrusiveness of illness and self-care were included in the survey. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analyses illustrated the distribution of these variables and identified possible tribal and gender differences. Our findings showed that our sample adjusted well to DM and in general exhibited high compliance to self-care. However, our findings also revealed striking gender differences where female respondents were better adjusted to their disease, whereas male respondents reported higher adherence to self-management. Findings from our study, particularly those that describe tribal differences and gender disparities, can inform strategies for case management and patient interactions with providers and the health care system.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is considered as silent epidemic worldwide including India. Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus. Diabetes Self-Management (DSM) is crucial in mitigating the afflictions of diabetes and it’s after effects. There was dearth of studies in view of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) and diabetes self-management in Kolkata, West Bengal. Aim: To assess the associations between diabetes self-management and DPN in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients attending an urban health clinic in Kolkata. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted from December 2018 to March 2019 among known case of T2DM patients aged 30 years and above attending the Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) clinic at Chetla, under the purview of field practice areas of Urban Health Unit and Training centre (UHU and TC) of All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health (AIIH and PH) Kolkata, West Bengal. A pre-designed and pre-tested schedule was used to collect data which were analysed using International Business Machines Statistical Product and Service Solutions (IBM SPSS) version 16.0 and represented using various tables. Results: The mean (SD) age of the participants was 54.89 (8.98) years. About 32.4% of the patients had DPN which was significantly associated with increased duration of T2DM {AOR (95% CI)}={1.52 (1.22-1.91)}, lower glucose management sub-scale score {AOR (95% CI)}={2.84 (1.42-5.67)} and lower healthcare use sub-scale score {AOR (95% CI)}={1.86 (1.05-3.31)}. Conclusion: Early screening and education regarding diabetes self-care would be helpful in glycaemic control and in prevention of DPN.

<p><em>Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the condition of metabolism affected by chronic hyperglycemia (the increase of glucose levels in the blood) caused by insulin secretion defect. One of the non-pharmacological therapies used to decrease the type 2 DM is cognitive behavioral therapy. The objective of the research was to identify the effect of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) on self management and self-care behaviors of type 2 DM patients. The research used a quasi-experimental method with a two</em><em>-</em><em>group pretest-posttest design. The samples were 70 respondents with 35 of them were in the intervention group and the other 35 were in the control group, taken by using a consecutive sampling technique. The data were gathered using the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaires (DSMQ) and the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaires. The gathered data were analyzed by using paired t-test, and independent t-test. The results of the study showed that there were significantly differences of mean scores of self management and self care behaviors between intervention and control groups </em>(<em>t</em>=13.24; <em>p</em>=0.00) and<em>(t=14.63,</em><em></em><em>p=0.00), respectively. It is recommended that cognitive behavior therapy can be used as one of the non-pharmacological therapies</em><em></em><em>to change self-care behaviors in type 2 DM patients.</em></p>

Many individuals in India are nowadays either being diagnosed early with type 2 diabetes or lack optimal control of their diabetes. Reducing the burden and impact of diabetes mellitus in India is a major priority among the healthcare system. Diabetes educators, through DPP models, have shown to reduce the risk of developing diabetes among pre-diabetics through lifestyle changes. Among diabetics, DSME is seen as an essential intervention and as a cornerstone of diabetes care. Short-lived benefits and presence of barriers & challenges limit the inclusion of sufficient numbers of health educators or trained individuals in resource limited Indian settings to educate high risk individuals and improve self-management behaviors.

ABSTRACT Objective: to compare the adherence and empowerment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for self-care practices and glycemic control in group education strategies and home visits. Method: Clinical trial with ten randomized clusters, performed with 238 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus distributed in group education, home visit, and control group. Socio-demographic data, glycated hemoglobin and those obtained from the self-care and empowerment questionnaires were collected. Statistical analysis was performed separately by educational strategy. Results: the mean age of the patients was 57.8 years old (SD = 9.4 years old), with a predominantly female participation (66.4%). Both strategies presented similar results regarding adherence to self-care practices and patient empowerment. There was also a reduction in glycated hemoglobin levels; however, only in the education group, the difference presented statistical significance (p <0.001). Conclusion: the strategies were effective; however, group education presented better glycemic control results in relation to the home visit. International registry: NCT02132338 and national: RBR-92j38t in the clinical trials registry.

Objective. To explore the effect of WeChat-based health education combined with the Satir model on self-management behaviors and social adaptation in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients during the perioperative period. Methods. A total of 100 CRC patients treated in our hospital from April 2018 to April 2020 were selected as the objects for the retrospective study and divided into the observation group and the reference group according to their admission order, with 50 cases each. The patients in both groups accepted health education based on the WeChat platform, and additionally, those in the observation group received the Satir group intervention on self-approval for 3 months to compare the patients’ scores on self-management behaviors, social adaptation, and self-care agency before and after the intervention between the two groups. Results. Between the observation group and the reference group, the patients’ general information, including age, gender ratio, and course of the disease, was not statistically different ( P > 0.05 ). After nursing intervention, the scores on patients’ self-management behaviors, social adaptation, and self-care agency were significantly higher in the observation group than in the reference group ( P < 0.001 ). Conclusion. Combining the WeChat-based health education with the Satir model can improve the self-management awareness in the CRC patients during the perioperative period, enhance their self-care agency and self-management behaviors, and promote their social adaptation, demonstrating that such a nursing intervention model is worthy of clinical promotion.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that requires a continous self-care. A low level ofknowledge about self-care can worsen health condition and cause diabetes distress. The continuingstress can cause hyperglycemia that lead to complications of DM. DSME/S is a structured healtheducation that facilitates DM patients in implementing and maintaining their behavior for sustainableself-care. This research aimed to analyze the effect of DSME/S on diabetes distress in patients withtype 2 DM. This research was quasi experimental with non randomized control group pretestposttest design. Thirty respondents in this study were divided into 15 respondents as theintervention group and 15 respondents as the control group by consequtive sampling technique.DSME/S was conducted in 6 sessions: 4 sessions in the hospital and 2 sessions at respondent'shouse. The data were analyzed by using dependent t test and independent t test with significancelevel of 0.05. The result of dependent t test revealed a significant difference of diabetes distressbetween pretest and posttest both in the intervention group (p=0.001) and in the control group(p=0.046). Furthermore, independent t test showed a significant difference between interventiongroup and control group (p=0.001). The decrease of diabetes distress was higher in the interventiongroup than control group. This result indicates that there was a significant effect of DSME/S ondiabetes distress in patients with type 2 DM. Nurses are expected to apply DSME/S as a dischargeplanning to reduce diabetes distress in patients with type 2 DM.Keywords: diabetes distress, DSME/S, Diabetes Mellitus
