Abstract Details

2017, Doctor of Nursing Practice Degree Program in Population Health Leadership DNP, Xavier University, Nursing.
Diabetes is a disease that requires people to gain skills and knowledge necessary to manage their condition successfully. Diabetes is a significant health problem and an increasingly prevalent disease in the United States (US), affecting 9.3% of the adult population (Centers for Disease and Prevention [CDC], 2014). Patients with type 2 diabetes are the focus of this project. Type 2 diabetes, accounts for 90 % to 95% of patients with diabetes (CDC, 2014). The shift in diabetes care is to focus teaching on problem-solving (self-management) to engage and empower patients with diabetes to live the best quality of life. Healthcare providers may not always be aware of diabetes self-management education available to patients. Therefore, the American Association of Diabetes Educators has identified seven essential self-care behaviors known as the American Association of Diabetes Educators [AADE] 7, 2010). The AADE7 is a tool to assist healthcare providers in providing key topics related to diabetes. The objective of this project was to educate healthcare providers on Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME). The desired outcome was the care providers’ application of new DSME knowledge and measured by an increased in the rate of DSME documentation on the diabetes flow sheet. Results from this project revealed the rate of 100% documentation of patient DSME on the flow sheet from no documentation before the project. The use of the AADE7 tool and documentation promote preventive practice care and encourage self-care management among patients with diabetes to avert any long-term complications.
