Assignment: Diabetes Evidence Based Practice Paper ON Assignment: Diabetes Evidence
Based Practice PaperIn Week 2, you examined the importance of evidence-based practice in
general as well as the value of consumer involvement. You also explored the benefits and
limitations of using evidence-based practices for chronic diseases and conditions at a
population level. This week, you will apply insights on evidence-based practice to the
specific chronic disease or condition at a population level that you selected for your Final
Project.For this Discussion:To PrepareReview the week’s Resources.Conduct a search for
evidence-based practices related to your Final Project topic.BY DAY 3Post a comprehensive
explanation of how evidence-based practices might improve population health outcomes
for the chronic disease or condition at the population level you selected for your Final
Project. Then, explain how evidence-based practices might provide a better return on
investment (ROI) for effective prevention and care management for the chronic disease or
condition at the population level you selected for your Final Project. Be specific and provide
examples in your post. Assignment: Diabetes Evidence Based Practice PaperRE: Discussion
– Week 2COLLAPSEThe benefits of consumer participation in health care have exhibited
wide recognition. Through consultations or collaborative procedures, customers may be
incorporated in establishing health care policies and studies, clinical operation principles
and patient-information material. Involving consumers in evidence-based programs assists
in redesigning health care practices and many people this because it assists in improving
patient safety. The consumers are able to choose a program that suits them best, hence this
results to care that is safe and more quality (Nash et al., 2016).Consumer needs and values
greatly influence their decision making in various ways. First, a consumer is able to identify
a need and think of a product or program that best meets this need. Often times, this is
recognized as the initial as well as the most critical phase of the decision-making process
due to the fact that a consumer must recognize a need or a problem, in order to proceed
with the consideration of purchasing a product or service (Laureate, 2014). Secondly,
consumer values shape their perceptions regarding what they would consider acceptable
and preferable. Consumer values are majorly based on their cultural, religious and moral
views. For example, patients from a Christian background may view a practice like assisted
suicide as not morally right, and they would never consider or it.Shared decision-making
provides a systematic platform to include evidence and patient values and desires into
decisions made in health care. This practice can encourage conversations that result to
better informed decisions that are compatible with all that matters most in-patient care.

2. Also, this practice enhances compliance with treatment plans among patients (Nash et al.,
2016). However, this method can be time-consuming, complex, and increased chances of
malpractice claims. For instance, if the process involves 10 patients, the practitioners have
to consider the values, needs, and preferences of each patient, and this may be complex and
time-consuming. Assignment: Diabetes Evidence Based Practice PaperReferencesLaureate

Running head: HEALTH BRIEF MODEL AND DIABETES Series of Milestone Tamillia Cherry
Walden University 2 HEALTH BRIEF MODEL AND DIABETES Series of Milestone Diabetes is
a health condition that happens when glucose in the blood s is exceptionally high. The main
spring of glucose in our body is what we eat, and it is used in the provision of energy for
various activities in our body. The regulation of the glucose level in our body is facilitated by
the hormone known as insulin. When the body cells or pancreas fail to produce this
hormone, the blood glucose is not regulated, and this may lead to Diabetes (Jiang & Dutta,
2017). In the event that there is excess glucose in the body, a healthy condition known as
diabetes mellitus develops. There is the other type of diabetes, which is termed as diabetes
insipidus ; this condition is caused by low glucose level in the bloodstream. However,
diabetes insipidus is less common. As the economic and social effect of diabetes progresses,
there is also a direct increase in the variety of ways to augment the quality of healthcare
services and reduce expenditure on health care amongst patients. Diabetes has turned out
to be a stiff challenge in society, and various nations have stepped into the matter, to reduce
its effects and different costs related to it. As a matter of fact, diabetes is one of the chronic
diseases that has led to the death of many people and in the event that immediate action is
not taken, its effects will be substantial in the general public. The condition is mostly
associated with some of the lifestyles and other predisposing factors like age and obesity.
Assignment: Diabetes Evidence Based Practice Paper(“Management of diabetes at diabetes
camps. American Diabetes Association,” 1999). The research shows that the more you grow,
the more you are likely to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Consequently, those people
who have obesity and do not engage in exercises are also expected to be diagnosed by this
type of diabetes. The population that is mostly affected by this disease is older people; it
primarily impacts the individuals that are aged between 30 years and above. Apart from the
age category, the other group of people that are targeted in this case is obese individuals
who rarely exercise. Many 3 HEALTH BRIEF MODEL AND DIABETES individuals suffering
from obesity are much likely to be diagnosed with diagnosed. One of the facts about
diabetes is that it can affect any person as long as he or she is leading an unhealthy lifestyle.
Therefore, the Health Belief Model could be utilized effectively to help this population
manages the infection. There are those individuals who may not be sick, but they may wish
to understand the principle of this model to help friends or relatives who have diabetes. The
model chosen to serve as the framework in the management of diabetes is Health Belief
Model, which is a behavior change in a health setting and was formulated to predict and

3. explain some behaviors related to health, specifically those connected to the health services
uptake. Social psychologist established the model back in the 1950s in the United States
(Wdowik, Kendall, Harris, & Auld, 2001). It is the greatest and the best tool which is widely
used to manage various diseases, including diabetes. Generally, the model is mostly
concerned with the behavior change, whereby patients are required to adopt a self-care
behavior, which is very important in the management of chronic diseases like cancer and
diabetes. Therefore, the use of this tool will enhance self-care services and improve the
management of chronic diseases. 4 HEALTH BRIEF MODEL AND DIABETES References
