Abstract
Abstract
Problem: Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of mortality in the United States and affects approximately 9.4% of the total population. Self-management of diabetes is heavily influenced by community based resources and support and leads to self-efficacy as well as reduced hospital admissions. It is unclear whether a NP-led DSME program, within a recently funded university-based MRC, can effectively achieve health outcomes for their underserved population managing pre-diabetes and T2DM.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore differences in diabetes knowledge, empowerment, perceived exercise barriers, and self-management for patients with pre-diabetes mellitus or T2DM in underserved communities, managed in a recently funded university-based mobile health clinic (MHC) following participation in an nurse practitioner (NP) led DSME program.
Research Questions: RQ1: Is there a relationship between personal characteristics, knowledge, perceived exercise barriers, empowerment, self-management behaviors, diet adherence, general health, and quality of life, for patients with pre-diabetes and T2DM managed in a community MHC? RQ2: Are there differences in perceived knowledge, exercise barriers, empowerment, self-management behaviors, diet adherence, general health, and quality of life following participation in an NP-led DSME program, for patients with pre-diabetes and T2DM managed in a community MHC?
Methods: This study will use a pre-experimental within-group pre-education post-education design.
Outcomes: Perceived knowledge, exercise barriers, empowerment, self-management behaviors, diet adherence, general health, and quality of life will improve following participation in a NP-led DSME program.
Significance: Community-based MHC is a form of secondary healthcare that is intended to reduce health inequalities by giving people with pre-diabetes and diabetes in underserved communities the opportunity to manage their own behaviors with the proper education and resources they otherwise would lack. NP-led DSME programs afford people access to the tools and education necessary to self-manage the disease.
