Abstract: Objective: Studies indicate general psychological stress plays a role in the glycemic control of individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Disease-specific rather than general measures may be more closely related to measures of health outcomes. Therefore, measurement of diabetes-related stress is needed to advance knowledge of significant relationships between stress and glycemic control. The objective of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of a measure of diabetes-related stress for youth with T1DM. Research design and methods: A 65-item diabetes stress questionnaire for youths (DSQY) was previously developed...
Diabetes and Pediatric and Dialysis The objective of this study is to analyze the incidence of diabetes among pediatric patients, with dialysis, by way of analysis of outcomes one year following diagnosis. Initiatives concerned with investigating pediatric diabetes have previously been associated with varying outcomes. What factors are linked with diabetes, pediatric patients, and dialysis with regards to Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) determinants? This forms the groundwork of the paper. Protection of Human Participants
Survival in Pediatric Dialysis and Transplant Patients Children that have to undergo kidney transplantation or dialysis at an early age are at much more risk than the healthier ones. The mortality rate risks have been identified to be around thirty times more. End-stage Renal Diseases (ESRD) can cause either or more of the following consequences in children: cognition and response, lack of muscular coordination, cardiovascular issues, tantamount to quality of life.
Diabetes and Pediatric and Dialysis This study's aim was to assess the level of cognition required by nurses to prevent Diabetic Nephropathy (DN). It has been shown that Diabetic affliction leads to build up of DN. Diabetes Type 1 (T1D) and Type 2 (T2D) complications lead to the micro vascular conditions that progress towards Diabetic Nephropathy; this can become life threatening. The growing incidence of both T1D and T2D especially among children
The presence of cardiac enzymes in the blood often indicates myocardial necrosis. Medical experts generally view MI as one among acute coronary syndromes. Unstable angina and non-ST-elevation MI are among the syndromes. Statistics said that approximately 1.5 million cases come up each year. MI is a cardiovascular condition. About 12 million deaths worldwide each year are attributed to cardiovascular diseases as cause, according to the World Health Organization. These
Nursing Research The study is divided in three parts. The first part identifies the palliative care as an area of nursing research that has improved the patient's outcome. The second part discusses the difference and similarities between nursing process and research process. The final part reviews three articles that focus on the palliative care, nursing and research process, and the paper reviews the abstract of each article. Identification of area of Nursing
Telehealth Strategies to Support Adolescents with Diabetes and CKD Children and youth who must undergo dialysis because of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are typically provided age appropriate educational materials for self-care. Key objectives of efforts to strengthen self-care education are the maintenance of optimally beneficial diet and, although direct evidence has not yet been shown for children, maintenance of blood pressure that is below the 90th percentile for height, age,
