Feasibility of a nursing guide for the oral management of outpatients with diabetes mellitus.

Unlabelled: Support for nurses is necessary to enable them to practice the oral management of patients with diabetes; however, no support for nurses in this context has been reported. The objective of this study was to verify the feasibility of a nursing guide for the oral management of outpatients with type 2 diabetes, aimed at giving nurses the ability to independently practice oral management for patients with diabetes in an outpatient department. Questionnaires were administered to 25 certified diabetes educator nurses from 54 medical facilities.

Design And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, parents of children with chronic diseases attending a pediatric outpatient hospital completed an anonymous self-administered questionnaire to investigate demographics and parental readiness for children's transition to adulthood. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine whether parents' readiness differed according to their children's disease types.

Oral symptoms and oral hygiene behaviours among patients with type 2 diabetes at a hospital in Japan: A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: Effective daily oral hygiene behaviour will prevent periodontal disease. This study aimed to examine the oral symptoms, oral hygiene behaviours and factors contributing to oral hygiene behaviours among patients with type 2 diabetes in a hospital in Japan.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 198 patients with type 2 diabetes (mean age: 66.1 ± 10.

Diabetes self-management education and support for adults with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

This systematic review aimed to identify the effectiveness of diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) among adults within 12 months of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We searched the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ERIC, and other sources up to March 2019 to detect randomized controlled trials in the last decade based on the global guidelines' definition of DSMES. Data were categorized into biomedical, psychosocial, and behavioral outcomes and synthesized using a random-effects model.

The role of illness schemata in self-care behaviors and glycemic control among patients with type 2 diabetes in Iran.

Aims: The diabetes illness perception domains outlined by Leventhal's common-sense model may be weakly associated with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and adherence to diabetes self-care behaviors. However, type 2 diabetes patients' illness schemata identified by clustering the illness perception domains remain to be explained. This study aimed to describe type 2 diabetes patients' illness schemata and to examine their association with self-care behaviors and glycemic control in Iran.

[Required support・An examination of the subjective quality of life and related factors In elderly people eith a high functional capacity who need mild care].

Aim: We aimed to investigate subjective quality of life (QOL) and related factors in elderly people with a high functional capacity using daycare centers who require support and mild long-term care.

Methods: We collected data on the basic attributes, social background (hobbies, JST-Index of Competence), and subjective QOL (Revision PGC Morale Scale) through interviews with 238 people ≥65 years of age using daycare centers who required support and long-term care (level 1, 2). We conducted a t-test and χ test to compare male and female participants and a multiple regression analysis using sex, age, hobbies, eating together, and the JST-Index of Competence (using new devices, collecting information, living management, social participation) as independent variables to predict the subjective QOL (dependent variable).

Relationship between social engagement and diabetes incidence in a middle-aged population: Results from a longitudinal nationwide survey in Japan.

Aims/introduction: Social engagement can positively affect health status, but its effect on diabetes incidence remains unclear. The present study aimed to assess the relationship between social engagement and diabetes incidence in a middle-aged Japanese population.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed data on 31,615 people aged 50-59 years from a prospective national survey carried out in Japan from 2005 to 2013.

Association of care recipients' care-need level with family caregiver participation in health check-ups in Japan.

Aim: The public mandatory long-term care insurance system in Japan has supposedly mitigated the care burden for family caregivers of older adults, whereas family caregivers still play a considerable role in providing care. The effect of informal caregiving on the caregiver's health has been of great interest. We investigated the relationship between the amplitude of informal caregiving and caregiver participation in health check-ups in Japan.

Reliability and validity of revised and short form versions of diabetes diet-related quality of life scale.

Objective: To develop both a revised version of the Diabetes Diet-Related Quality of Life (DDRQOL-R) scale that can be applied to patients with nephropathy and a short form of the DDRQOL-R.

Method: A total of 184 outpatients with type 2 diabetes were asked to complete the self-administered DDRQOL-R scale to confirm its psychometric properties. A short-form version was developed, based on two methods: the result of the developed DDRQOL-R scale and consensus using the Delphi method among medical experts.

Impact of a Booklet about Diabetes Genetic Susceptibility and Its Prevention on Attitudes towards Prevention and Perceived Behavioral Change in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Their Offspring.

Background. Offspring of type 2 diabetic patients are at a high risk of type 2 diabetes. Information on diabetes genetic susceptibility and prevention should be supplied to the offspring.

Influence of dietary therapy appraisal on future perceived control of type 2 diabetes.

We sought to elucidate the causal effect of patients' self-appraisal of their dietary regimen on their control beliefs among adults with type 2 diabetes. Data from 176 outpatients were assessed using a two-wave cross-lagged panel model. We found that a cross-lagged path connecting dietary appraisal at baseline to perceived control at one year (β = .

Dietary intake and body composition of Japanese ulcerative colitis patients in remission.

The purpose of this pilot study (N=26) was to investigate dietary intake and body composition and problems associated with dietary intake (such as unnecessary dietary restriction) in Japanese patients in remission from ulcerative colitis. Findings revealed the macronutrient intake and dietary fiber (absolute amount) were lower than the national average in men, but this may have been due to differences in the methods used to measure dietary intake. Although the fat intake (%E) of ulcerative colitis patients in this study was similar to that of the Japanese population, it differed greatly from that of people in Western countries.

Effectiveness of lifestyle counseling by certified expert nurse of Japan for non-insulin-treated diabetic outpatients: a 1-year randomized controlled trial.

We examine whether one-to-one lifestyle counseling for non-insulin-treated diabetic outpatients by a Certified Expert Nurse (CEN) can improve patients' health outcomes. Participants were randomly assigned to a 1-year lifestyle intervention (n=67) or to a usual care group (n=67). Main outcome measures were changes from baseline in: HbA(1C) and score of health related quality of life scales (SF-36 and Problem Areas in Diabetes Scale).
