Background: Black pregnant women who experience racial discrimination are at an increased risk of psychological distress. Studies have not adequately addressed if social support may moderate the association between experiences of racial discrimination and psychological distress among Black pregnant women.
Objective: We sought to examine the moderating effect of social support on the association between experiences of racial discrimination and psychological distress among Black pregnant women.
Background: Black women in the United States report moderate to high levels of perceived stress during pregnancy. Though lower levels of involvement and support from father of the baby (FOB) and higher levels of conflict have been associated with higher levels of maternal perceived stress, it is not clear how Black pregnant women experience the mother-father relationship and its influence on perceived stress.
Purpose: To examine and describe the mother-father relationship and its role in experiences of perceived stress from the perspective of Black pregnant women.
Introduction: Successful delivery of the virtual Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) is influenced by a beneficiary's access to a computer and use of the Internet.
Methods: Using the 2020 nationally representative Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey Public Use File, a three-level categorical dependent variable was created: (1) has a computer AND uses Internet, (2) has a computer OR uses Internet, and (3) has no access to either (reference group). A survey-weighted multinomial logit model was performed in 2023 to examine associations between socio-demographics, comorbidities, and computer access and Internet use.
Aims: This article explored the publication impact of evidence-based healthcare terminology to determine usage and discuss options for low usage terms.
Background: A plethora of terms describe the scholarship of evidence-based healthcare. Several terms are synonyms, creating redundancy and confusion.
Introduction: Although caregiving is a traditional female role, older men represent an increasing proportion of family caregivers. This study's aim was to describe lived experiences of men who engaged in later-life caregiving.
Method: Streubert's phenomenological method, inclusive of unstructured interviews and respondent validation of a single formalized description, was applied to explore lived experiences of eight older male caregivers.
Objective: To examine the association between food insecurity and achieving glycemic goals among Medicare beneficiaries with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: This study analyzed the nationally representative 2019 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey of 1340 beneficiaries aged ≥65 years with type 2 diabetes. The binary dependent variable was whether beneficiaries' blood glucose was at target (A1C ≤ 7.
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine factors associated with food insecurity among Medicare beneficiaries with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: The 2019 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey Public Use File of beneficiaries ≥65 years old with type 2 diabetes (n = 1343) was analyzed. A binary variable was created to represent food insecurity (1 = food insecurity, 0 = without food insecurity) with ≥2 affirmative responses adapting an established algorithm of the United States Department of Agriculture food insecurity questionnaire.
Objectives: To examine patient attitudes, experiences, and satisfaction with healthcare associated with office visit utilization among Medicare beneficiaries with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: We analyzed the 2019 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey Public Use File of beneficiaries aged ≥65 years with type 2 diabetes ( = 1092). The ordinal dependent variable was defined as 0, 1 to 5, and ≥6 office visits.
Background: Women with a gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) history have increased lifetime type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk, with 16 times greater risk 3 to 6 years after the pregnancy, compared with women without GDM. Offspring from diabetes-complicated pregnancies also face increased health risks.
Purpose: The study purpose was to describe the primary care practices of nurse practitioners (NPs) aimed at reducing T2D-related health risks in women with a history of GDM.
Purpose: The persistent requirement of self-management for diabetes impacts quality of life (QoL), yet the literature for impact of diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) on QoL in youth has not been synthesized and reported. The purpose of this review was to systematically identify and describe the state of the science exploring the impact of DSMES on self-reported QoL in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Methods: A modified Cochrane review was conducted.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic spurred a rapid uptake of telehealth utilization, with advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) at the forefront of telehealth care delivery. To advance training of nurse practitioners and support curricular development, essential APRN student competencies in telehealth were developed.
Problem: Although telehealth competencies have been developed, little is understood about their evaluation across the curricula.
Purpose: It is well documented that chronic conditions, such as diabetes, impact quality of life (QoL). QoL assessment is essential when developing and evaluating diabetes self-management education support interventions. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the evidence and gaps in the research and the impact of diabetes self-management education (DSME) on QoL outcomes in persons with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

The COVID-19 pandemic and associated rapid uptake of telehealth accelerated the need for evidence-supported research in tele-health simulation in NP education.
Method: A formative gerontologic simulation scenario using telehealth robot technology was developed by synthesizing best practice guidelines for simulation and telehealth delivery.
Introduction: Health care avoidance by Medicare beneficiaries with chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes can result in adverse health and economic outcomes. The objective of this study was to describe factors associated with choices to avoid health care among Medicare beneficiaries with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: We used a survey-weighted logistic model and the nationally representative 2016 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey to analyze data on 1,782 Medicare beneficiaries aged ≥65 with type 2 diabetes, to examine associations between Medicare beneficiaries' decisions to avoid health care and multiple factors (eg, dissatisfaction with information given by providers, health problems that should have been discussed with providers but were not, worry about health more than other people their age).
Objectives: To evaluate pregnancy outcomes of low-income women with diabetes-complicated pregnancies who received care from an embedded, public health-based endocrine specialty clinic (ESC) in Florida.
Design: This program evaluation used retrospective chart data to analyze client characteristics, pre-program and during-program glycemic control, and pregnancy outcomes of women enrolled in a prenatal ESC.
Sample: Ninety-two low-income, pregnant women with type 1/type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes (GDM) comprised this racially/ethnically diverse sample.
Older adults with physical and/or cognitive limitations frequently rely on informal caregivers who are often other older adults. This study compared health and well-being outcomes of self-identified, current older adult caregivers with those of former older adult caregivers and older adults who were never caregivers. The study was observational, using cross-sectional survey data.

Purpose: The purpose was to achieve zero preventable harm to patients during transitions in care from the emergency department (ED) to medical/surgical (Med/Surg) areas.
Purpose: The primary purpose of this study is to report a systematic review of evidence and gaps in the literature among well-conducted studies assessing the impact of diabetes education on hypoglycemia outcomes and secondarily reporting the impact on other included target outcomes.
Methods: The authors used a modified Cochrane method to systematically search and review English-language titles, abstracts, and full-text articles published in the United States between January 2001 and December 2017, with diabetes education specified as an intervention and a directly measurable outcome for hypoglycemia risk or events included.
Results: Fourteen quasi-experimental, experimental, and case-control studies met the inclusion criteria, with 8 articles reporting a positive impact of diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) on hypoglycemia outcomes; 2 of the 8 reported decreased hypoglycemia events, and 1 reported decreased events in both the intervention and control groups.
Despite the rather slow acceptance of obesity as a disease state, several obesity staging systems and weight-management guidelines have been developed and are in use, along with an ever-growing number of treatment options. Many primary care clinicians, including nurse practitioners (NPs), are at the forefront of clinical efforts to assist individuals with obesity, but face challenges due to lack of alignment and consensus among the various staging systems and guidelines. This is further complicated by shortfalls in clinical training related to obesity management and increasing complexities in reimbursement for obesity-related services.
