What are my patients/family's values and expectations for the outcome that is trying to be prevented and the treatment itself?
There are several implications from this study:
Identification of self-care needs are important to patients; mitigation of stronger, more invasive treatment options are thus prevented. However, some instruments are more useful than others in encouraging self-care or monitoring behavioral change.
Use of these treatment protocols and self-care instrumentation and measurement tends to create a more patient-centered care paradigm so that healthcare providers can focus on the more serious, medical care issues. Additionally, when educating people who have diabetes, effective time management protocols should focus on specific instruments that are individually tailored to that patient's needs and capacity for responsibility for their own issues.
The research did show two major effects:

This increases the chance of a more healthful outcome, less chance of diabetic crises or issues that might involve more serious intervention.
However, that being said the study showed that various instruments can be used as outcome measures and tools for tracking self-care, knowledge, and helping to motivate patients. The authors do suggest more robust research regarding the clinical utility of many of the instruments in question.

Diabetes is one of the major non-communicable diseases today. In the U.S., approximately 9% of the general population have diagnosed or undiagnosed diabetes, with a further 37% estimated to be pre-diabetic (CDC, 2016). The disease increasingly imposes a significant morbidity, economic, mortality, and psychological burden on individuals, families, communities, healthcare organizations, as well as the government. This paper discusses a number of issues relating to diabetes. These include: past and
Diabetes Evidence-Based Practice Diabetes Diabetes is a disease which stays with the patient life-long except in some cases where the diabetes is gestational which occurs during pregnancy and often goes back to normal after the delivery. Typically there are two types of diabetes which are type 1 and type 2 diabetes but less common are gestational diabetes and other types which contain features of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes (Cowle
Diabetes Mellitus According to the World Diabetes Foundation, diabetes mellitus is considered to be the fastest growing chronic condition in the world (Chorbev et al., 2011). The diabetes epidemic afflicted an estimated 285 million people in 2010, equivalent to 6.4% of the adult population of the world. Since diabetes is largely a preventable condition, public health efforts must be directed at primary care centered on awareness and education regarding, causes, risk
Diabetes Management Diabetes mellitus is one of the non-communicable diseases that have continued to be in the forefront of public health challenges. Diabetes occurs when the body system is unable to produce sufficient insulin. Typically, insulin is a hormone secreted from the beta cell within the pancreases that regulates the blood sugar as well as assisting in conversion of glucose into energy. Diabetes occurs when there is high level of glucose
Diabetes in Australia The Australian government and the relevant Health agencies have for many years strived to put the diabetes menace under close observation and management. There have been massive researches and huge sums directed towards good management and possible elimination of diabetes at the national levels. This commitment is exhibited by the specialized funds and efforts like the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund (JDRF) that has been committed to striving to
As blood flows, it starts attracting the fluid from the tissues and therefore more fluid is entering the kidneys when filtering the blood, causing an increase in urination. And because the body is losing so much fluid, dry mouth and an increase in thirst are initiated (Martini, Nath, & Bartholomew, 2011). Other symptoms include fatigue, blurred vision, and sudden loss of weight (American Diabetes Association, 2013). These symptoms are
