Diabetes

The Healthy People 2030 goals led us to concentrate on diabetes in this academic study. Diabetes is a common chronic illness that requires patient education and self-management to maximize health. In this work, we create a patient scenario, a thorough patient education and training strategy, and an appropriate mHealth app to help our patients manage diabetes. Patient empowerment, self-care, and health outcomes for diabetics are the main goals. Uncontrolled diabetes affects millions globally and may cause serious problems. As healthcare experts, we must teach Sarah how to manage her diabetes. This study discusses the need for patient education and the possibility of mHealth applications to empower people to manage chronic illnesses like diabetes.

Patient Scenario

45 Sarah was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, a life-changing disease. Sarah begins diabetes care with a strong desire to restore health. Her nursing evaluation shows a motivated, willing patient who wants to learn and participate in her treatment. Sarah has little diabetes information, including causes, symptoms, and risk factors. Meal planning and carbohydrate counting are difficult for her. Sarah also needs help understanding glucose monitoring and medication adherence. Glycemic regulation seems abstract to her. Despite these obstacles, Sarah is eager to learn. She wants to use technology to control her diabetes regularly. Her willingness to use technology offers a chance for comprehensive education and care. Based on a scholarly peer-reviewed article by Smith et al. (2021), which emphasizes the importance of patient education in diabetes management and the transformative power of technology to improve patient outcomes, we can create a patient education plan tailored to Sarah's unique learning needs and readiness to use technology as a diabetes management tool.

Patient Education/Teaching Plan

Sarah's patient education and teaching plan are tailored to her learning requirements and preparedness to use technology for diabetes control. This strategy intends to teach her type 2 diabetes management skills and information due to her enthusiasm and readiness to learn. Sarah started her studies by studying diabetic basics (Jeffrey et al., 2019). She will learn about her condition's causes, risk factors, and consequences. She has to understand diabetic processes to appreciate proactive management. Dietary changes are key to diabetes treatment. Sarah will get detailed meal planning advice on balancing carbohydrate consumption with other nutrients. She will get detailed explanations and practical examples to help her choose diabetes-friendly foods.

Diabetes self-care requires accurate blood glucose monitoring. Sarah will learn fingerstick testing and CGM if needed. She will learn these skills via demonstrations and hands-on experience. Sarah will learn about her drugs, their effects, and adherence. Comprehensive insulin administration strategies will be taught to assure her comfort and confidence in self-administering insulin when required (Awang-Ahmad et al., 2020). Glycemic management will be explained to Sarah, stressing the need to maintain target blood glucose levels. She will learn about glycemic targets, lifestyle changes, medication, and frequent monitoring to achieve and maintain optimum control.

Since Sarah loves technology, the strategy will expose her to the "Diabetes Buddy" mHealth app. She will be shown how to install the app on her phone. Inputting blood glucose values, monitoring meals, and using the medication reminder tool will be explained. Sarah will also be encouraged to use the app's educational materials and community support forum for inspiration. Sara's understanding and application of information will be examined throughout her schooling. Open conversations and feedback sessions will help us resolve her issues, boosting her diabetes management confidence (Jeffrey et al., 2019). This patient education and teaching plan is personalized to Sarah's learning speed, technology adoption preparedness, and requirements to provide her with the information, skills, and tools she needs to manage her diabetes. We want to provide Sarah with the skills for urgent self-care and build confidence and independence to help her manage her illness long-term.

Description of the mHealth app

The mHealth app Sarah should use for diabetes control is "Diabetes Buddy." This software helps people with diabetes manage their condition with user-friendly features. Diabetes education, glucose monitoring, food tracking, and medication reminders are its goals (Sushko et al., 2022). The target audience is diabetics like Sarah, who want a complete management solution. Diabetes Buddy works on iOS and Android. Sarah may get the software from the Apple or Google Play Store. This software fits Sarah's tailored education plan and willingness to embrace technology for diabetes management.

Milestone 1 NR361 updated format DLP 8.2020

Course Project Milestone 3

Assignment

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the skills of the professional nurse as an educator. You are to prepare a patient scenario based on the required assigned topic. You will choose an already developed and reliable mHealth app to use in the education of your patient.

Based on your accepted Milestone 1 assignment, use the information to identify teaching areas to improve patient outcomes and ways to evaluate the success of the patient's use of the mHealth app. You will include both the citations and references in APA format.

You will develop the Patient Education Technology Guide using Microsoft PowerPoint OR a Poster in Microsoft Office format. You must use either a PowerPoint presentation or the Poster template provided, depending on which option you choose. Only complete one assignment: PowerPoint or Poster.

Due Date

The Milestone 3 PowerPoint OR Poster assignment is due by Sunday at 11:59 pm MT, at the end of Week 6. Submit your completed assignment.
