Nursing Practice Problem and PICOT Question
The nursing practice problem is anchored on research evidence that diabetes prevalence has increased, partially as a result of lifestyle changes and higher obesity rates globally. That said, self-management training is an essential intervention to enhance self-care practices’ knowledge among diabetes patients. Therefore, it is important to critique quantitative and qualitative research articles investigating diabetes self-management education as an intervention to enhance diabetes-related health outcomes and life quality amongst individuals living with type 2 diabetes. The PICOT question components include: (P) Adults with type 2 diabetes in the primary care setting, (I) does diabetes self-management with education (DSME) program intervention help control patients A1c? (C) when compared to the absence of self-management or DSME education (O), there will be a reduction in A1c (T) within three months. In this way, the PICOT question would be: does providing diabetes self-management with education for adults with type 2 diabetes reduce the A1c compared to patients who did not use self-management education?
Background
Qualitative Studies
Allory et al.'s (2020) article’s nursing problem was that deprived diabetic patients could not effectively implement self-care in the absence of facilitators. The primary significance of this study was to increase nursing practitioner involvement in promoting and encouraging the continued adoption of self-management in patients with diabetes so that the level of the chronic state of diabetes can be contained substantially and help patients achieve better health overall. The purpose was to identify respective facilitators of self-management and note the prospective obstacles that may prevent them from enrolling in DSME programs. The main objectives of the research were two, and these sought to identify barriers to facilitator entry into DSME programs and identify the local facilitators in France. The main research question was mainly posed to who the perceived facilitators of diabetes self-management are and the likely barriers that may prevent them from attending the DSME?
Schwennesen, Henriksen, and Willaing (2015) research problem entailed exploring the issue of patients’ failure to attend diabetes management educational programs. The article's purpose was to determine why patients do not attend or fail to attend diabetes management educational programs, even in the instance that they are provided to be attended. The significance of the study was to help uncover the main obstacles preventing patient attendance to diabetes management programs so that they eliminated and thus, help facilitate patient attendance to such self-management programs and improve the effectiveness of nursing diabetes. Objectively, the paper sought to find which main reasons patients provide for not attending self-management education programs. The question posed was, which factors prevent diabetic patients from attending self-management edu...
