Meta-Analyses
The selected study (Dalenerolle et al., 2021) sought to determine whether race influenced the risk of gestational diabetes and related mental health disorders among ethnic minorities. The findings showed a sequelae of gestational diabetes with mental health disorders among minority ethnic groups, supporting the hypothesis that Asians, blacks, and other ethnic minorities are disproportionately affected (Dalenerolle et al., 2021).
Dekkers (2018) defines a meta-analysis as a formal, quantitative study design in which one combines related studies that answer the same research question into one design and uses statistical analyses to draw conclusions from the design. The selected study exhibits several features that make it a meta-analysis. First, the authors use standard eligibility criteria to integrate 14 eligible studies into one data set that they analyze using statistical processes to reach their finding. Eligible studies are non-randomized or randomized controlled trials (RCT) published between November 1995 and November 2020 and analysing both psychiatric comorbidities and mental health syndromes (Dalenerolle et al., 2021). The researchers use sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, and random effects to calculate 95 percent confidence intervals and odds ratio to establish prevalence (Dalenerolle et al., 2021).
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
The study clearly states its inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria dictated that studies have a mental health outcome in addition to gestational diabetes. Further eligible studies were required to specify a BAME (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) group and be published in English (Dalenerolle et al., 2021). Studies were excluded if they lacked a mental health outcome, were unpublished or published in languages...
…finding because multiple studies have already shown that blacks, Hispanics and other ethnic minorities have higher risks of developing diabetes (Hill-Briggs, 2021). According to Hill-Briggs (2021), this is due to socioeconomic factors that place minorities at a disadvantage through poor nutrition and lack of proper exercise-related infrastructure in their neighborhoods.Impact on Professional Nursing Practice
The study supports the relevance of culturally-sensitive care in the professional setting. This involves recognizing the biological, physiological, and physical variations that influence different patients exposure to illness. In this regard, my plan for offering culturally-sensitive care will involve expanding cultural knowledge and nurturing cultural skill. Cultural knowledge will involve acquiring extensive information about different groups exposure to illness (Campinha-Bacote, 2002). Cultural skill, on the other hand, will involve using the acquired cultural knowledge to…

Gestational Diabetes and African-American Women Comment by Sabina: Gestational Diabetes is a diagnosis of diabetes during pregnancy. This diagnosis is usually obtained about the 24th week of pregnancy after taking a blood glucose test. A diagnosis of gestational diabetes does not mean the individual is going to become diabetic after pregnancy or was diabetic prior to pregnancy. Gestational diabetes is usually caused by the imbalance of hormones during pregnancy, along with other
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Implications for Pre-Screening and Type II Diabetes Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Implications for Pre-Screening in Type II Screening of patients for the condition of "gestational diabetes mellitus" is considered to be an extravagance from the perspective of Lepercq (2004) who considered Universal Screening to be "contentious." However due to the 6.4% mortality rate due to untreated diabetes mellitus as well as the know birth defects and maternal health effects there are those

Mental Health Service Reimbursement How have changes in reimbursement and medications been a major driver in these policy and treatment changes? As a Chief Nursing Officer, one must be at once informed of the practical, day-to-day challenges of nursing in the field and of the administrative realities shaping the occupation. With respect to the latter, it is important to understand the implications of insurance, Medicare and coverage terms and conditions. These frequently
Mental Health Policies and Legislation It is not humane nor is it dignified to allow any living person to live in a florid psychosis; this would be a cruel and odd punishment. In the Australian medical practice, the health laws and regulations dictate that, doing the legal thing in the course of duty is not sufficient, but rather the professional must do what is morally right. In definition, recovery is the
