NRS 410 CLC Evidence-Based Practice Project: Intervention Presentation on Diabetes
The use of mobile phone-based monitoring management systems are effective for patients to self manage blood glucose levels. In the research analysis, the phone app was called Hicare smart K, Insung information. This app was used as a daily tracker for 3 months. The app itself was interactive and user friendly for all age groups. The mobile phone app method was simpler for both patient and physician to record and read blood glucose levels. It required the patient to do their own blood glucose checks and then manually input the readings into the app where it was linked to the hospital for recording (Yang et al., 2020).
The population that was of interest in this research were middle and late adulthood age groups. There were 4 individuals that were younger than 40 years old. Next, there were 36 individuals between 40-60 years of age. Also, 57 individuals were either 60 years of age or older. From this group, 45 patients were male and 52 were female. The patients mentioned were part of the control group with no intervention of mobile phone apps. They were all patients who had type 2 diabetes (Yang et al., 2020).
The population that was the intervention group in this research were also middle and late adulthood age groups. There were 10 individuals that were younger than 40 years old. Also, there were 93 individuals between 40-60 years of age. Next is 47 individuals that were either 60 years of age or older. In this group, 80 patients were males and 70 were female. This group had the mobile phones app and were all type 2 diabetic patients (Yang et al., 2020).
A mobile phone-based glucose-monitoring and feedback system for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a promising new technology that has yet to be fully evaluated. Clinical studies have shown that the use of such a system leads to improved glycemic control, as well as increased patient satisfaction and engagement (Yang et al., 2020). In addition, mobile phone interventions may help to reduce healthcare costs by allowing patients to monitor their own blood sugar levels and provide feedback to their physician. While further research is needed to confirm the long-term benefits of mobile phone-based glucose monitoring, this technology shows great promise for the treatment of T2DM. A mobile phone–based glucose-monitoring and feedback system (MP-GMS) was developed to improve diabetes management in multiple primary care clinic settings. The system was implemented in three waves of clinic randomized trials. Wave 1 clinics (N=6) were randomized to either the MP-GMS or usual care. Wave 2 clinics (N=5) were randomized to the MP-GMS with additional support from a trained clinical research coordinator (CRC), or usual care. Wave 3 clinics (N=4) were randomized to the MP-GMS with or without an accompanying group education program. The electronic medical records of all participants in all three waves were analyzed (Yang et al., 2020).
This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.
As a group, identify a research or evidence-based article published within the last 5 years that focuses comprehensively on a specific intervention or new treatment tool for the management of diabetes in adults or children. The article must be relevant to nursing practice.
Create a 10-15 slide PowerPoint presentation on the study’s findings and how they can be used by nurses as an intervention. Include speaker notes for each slide and additional slides for the title page
and references.
Include the following:
1. Describe the intervention or treatment tool and the specific patient population used in the study.
2. Summarize the main idea of the research findings for a specific patient population. The research presented must include clinical findings that are current, thorough, and relevant to diabetes and nursing practice.
3. Provide a descriptive and reflective discussion of how the new tool or intervention can be integrated into nursing practice. Provide evidence to support your discussion.
4. Explain why psychological, cultural, and spiritual aspects are important to consider for a patient who has been diagnosed with diabetes. Describe how support can be offered in these respective areas as part of a plan of care for the patient. Provide examples.
