Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
With diabetes at an epidemic level in the United States, more awareness needs to be brought surrounding prediabetes and diabetes prevention. This DNP Project consists of implementing a faith-based educational informational event at a local rural church to increase diabetes awareness. Findings within this DNP project suggest that the rural population can increase knowledge of diabetes awareness through faith-based education. With a sample size of 21 participants, positive statistical significance was found on analysis of pre-test and post-test Likert style questions regarding diabetes prevention, risk factors, and diabetic resources.
