Exploring Perceptions of Experiences that Promote Self-Efficacy in Foster Care Youth: A Phenomenological Study
Get PDFSociety expects foster care youth who age out of the system to be independent and autonomous directly, yet this is rarely the case. Many of these youth, unlike children that grew up with familial support, are ill-equipped to overcome the challenges of young adulthood or employ problem-solving skills. Thus, these foster care youth are a potential risk and prone to become a part of a vulnerable population. Foster care youth are less likely to graduate high school, go on to college or trade school, or successfully graduate from an academic program. Despite these challenges, however, some foster care youth become successful and make a contribution to society by establishing a career or a trade, establishing a family, and sustaining gainful employment. This study aims to explore the perception of success factors that provide foster care youth the ability to be independent, successful, and lead a productive life. The study uses a phenomenological qualitative design that utilizes a small nonprobability sample to explore these perceived success factors. It is anticipated that the findings will assist the childcare system as well as policymakers in gaining a better understanding of the contributing factors that render foster care youth successful, independent, and self-sufficient
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Its Pathogenesis, Management, Complications, and Potential Cures
No full textType 1 diabetes is an endocrine disease which develops because of an autoimmune response that targets and degrades insulin-producing islet cells in the pancreas. The destruction of beta cells results in an inability to produce insulin, a hormone that is essential in the regulation of blood glucose concentration. The incidence of type 1 diabetes continues to increase in the United States. The pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes is influenced by several favors including autoimmunity, genetic predispositions, and environmental insults. The disease typically manifests as a combination of symptoms, most commonly polydipsia, polyphagia, and polyuria. Documented symptoms, elevated blood glucose levels, and abnormal urine test results are diagnostic criteria for type 1 diabetes. After diagnosis, treatment involves daily management of blood glucose concentration through the use of insulin injections, insulin pumps, or continuous glucose monitoring systems. Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, two states of abnormal blood glucose levels, occur if the disease is not managed properly. Immediate consequences of untreated hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia are insulin shock and diabetic ketoacidosis, respectively. Prolonged hyperglycemia, however, damages cells and can cause nephropathy and end-stage renal disease, neuropathy and lower-extremity amputations, retinopathy and macular edema, and periodontal disease. Currently available cures such as insulin gene therapy, islet cell transplants, whole organ pancreas transplants, and mechanical artificial pancreas systems are not effective for many patients
