An online survey link comprising questionnaires about demographics, HRQoL, and depressive symptoms was posted onto two PCOS-specific Facebook groups. Respondents (n = 1,042) were separa…

A clarification of the term is necessary to inform patients and healthcare providers, promote consistent theoretical and operational definitions in research, and develop prevention and treatment strategies. DESIGN: Concept analysis. DATA SOURCES: Scientific liter…
Voice-Activated Virtual Home Assistant Use and Social Isolation and Loneliness Among Older Adults
A lack of social connectedness is common among older adults due to living alone, loss of loved ones, reduced mobility, and, more recently, social distancing created by the global Covid-19 pandemic. Older adults are vulnerable to social isolation and loneliness, which pose significant health risks comparable to those of smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, and high blood pressure. A lack of social connectedness is also correlated with higher mor…
Patient Activation, Depressive Symptoms, and Self-Rated Health
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial ( n = 268) at a Federally Qualified Health Center was to evaluate the outcomes of a care management intervention versus an attention control telephone intervention on changes in patient activation, depressive symptoms and self-rated health among a population of high-need, medically complex adults. Both groups had similar, statistically significant improvements in patient activation and self-rated he…
Virtual Home Assistant Use and Perceptions of Usefulness by Older Adults and Support Person Dyads
The study findings suggest that VHAs may be useful for older adults as they age in place and offer reassurance for support persons
Facilitators and Challenges to Conducting Interdisciplinary Research
BACKGROUND: Complex, interconnected issues challenge the United States health care system and the patients and families it serves. System fragmentation, limited resources, rigid disciplinary boundaries, institutional culture, ineffective communication, and uncertainty surrounding health policy legislation are contributing to suboptimal care delivery and patient outcomes. METHODS: These problems are too complex to be solved by a single discipline.…
Dietary Goal Attainment Measures and Psychosocial Factors among Mexican Americans and Non-Hispanic Whites with Type 2 Diabetes
Diabetes education programs need improved measures of goal setting for dietary control of diabetes. Additionally, measures of patient experiences with dietary goal setting are needed to better prepare patients for diabetes self-management. Measures of dietary goals and strategies were investigated via survey of 100 Mexican Americans and non-Hispanic whites with type 2 diabetes at a community clinic. Analyses tested novel goal measures as stages o…

Methods: The qualitative–descriptive study design was conducted with a convenience sample of Slavic immigrant women 50 years of age and older with type 2 diabetes ( n = 10), and non-Hispanic, noni…
Assessing Diabetes Dietary Goals and Self-Management Based on In-Depth Interviews With Latino and Caucasian Clients With Type 2 Diabetes
Latino ( n = 10) and Caucasian ( n = 8) clients with type 2 diabetes receiving care at a community health clinic participated in individual in-depth interviews assessing diabetes dietary self-management goal behaviors. Themes from interviews were identified using content analysis, which revealed current and future goals, influencing factors, and motivators and barriers to dietary modification for diabetes management. Implications for practice inc…
