The Effect Of Yoga Practice On Glycemic Control Of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients, Maricarmen Vizcaino
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of yoga practice on glycemic control of Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients by evaluating changes in physiological and psychological stress measures. Participants (n=10) were non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients free of complications derived from diabetes. The 6-week intervention consisted of structured yoga classes with a registered yoga teacher three times a week. Assessments were completed at baseline and post-intervention. Glycemic control parameters under investigation included fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and insulin sensitivity (QUICKI). Psychological stress was assessed with the perceived stress scale (PSS) and the State-Trait Anxiety …

Nursing Theses and Capstone Projects
Diabetes is the fourth leading cause of death world-wide claiming a staggering 3.8 million lives globally each year to related complications (World Health Organization, 2011). Diabetes complications account for 20% of all acute care admissions or 1 in every 5 patients have a diabetes-related condition (American Diabetes Association, 2011). Patient education in the areas of lifestyle modification, healthy eating habits, and proper medication administration is research-supported to clinically decrease the likelihood of acute complications. Bedside, acute care nurses are at the front line of patient education delivery and have the opportunity to determine behavioral stages related to a patient's readiness …

A Comparison Of Patient And Nurse Perception Of Problem Areas Associated With Type 2 Diabetes, Kelley Oglesby
Nursing Theses and Capstone Projects
The purpose of the study was to explore the difference in problem areas perceived and reported by patients with type 2 diabetes and registered nurses caring for patients with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes affects a large number of patients both physically and fiscally. Decreasing perception of problems by nurse case management intervention has the potential to adversely affect patients. A convenience sample of 20 patients and 10 nurses was obtained and completed the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) questionnaire. Statistical analysis found a significant difference in perception of problems among patients and nurses.
