Nurse´s work to promote lifestyle changes for patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 : A literature review
No full textBakgrund: Typ 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) är en folksjukdom som ökar runt om i världen. T2DM behandlas främst genom att anpassa livsstilsvanor till ett hälsosammare liv. Forskning har visat att livsstilsförändringar ger goda effekter på att behandla T2DM, samt att livsstilsförändringar minskar risken för diabetesrelaterade komplikationer. Det är patienternas ansvar att tillämpa livsstilsförändringar samtidigt som sjuksköterskans roll att främja livsstilsförändringar är av stor betydelse. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka hur sjuksköterskor kan främja livsstilsförändringar hos patienter med typ 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Metod: En litteraturöversikt där tio vetenskapliga artiklar har sammanställts till ett resultat för att besvara litteraturöversiktens syfte. Både kvalitativa och kvantitativa artiklar har använts. Resultat: Resultatet visade att sjuksköterskors metoder att främja livsstilsförändringar var effektiva. De metoder som sjuksköterskorna tillämpade var motiverande samtal (MI), kontinuerligt stöd och kunskapsöverföring. Sjuksköterskor genomgick även utbildningar för att få ökad kunskap om T2DM och effektivare kunna främja livsstilsförändringar hos patienter med T2DM. De effekter som visades var minskat HbA1c-värde, midjeomfång, blodtryck, fasteblodsocker, vikt samt BMI. Sjuksköterskor och patienter upplevde att MI och patientutbildningar var effektiva metoder för att främja livsstilsförändringar, samt att sjuksköterskornas stöd och vägledning var centrala delar för att upprätthålla livsstilsförändringarna. Slutsats: Sammanfattningsvis visade litteraturöversiktens resultat att sjuksköterskans roll för att stödja och motivera patienter är av väsentlig betydelse för implementering och upprätthållning av livsstilsförändringar. Genom att litteraturöversikten visade både kvantitativa mätvärden och patient- och sjuksköterskeperspektivet, besvarade litteraturöversikten på ett mer djupgående sätt vad effekterna av sjuksköterskors omvårdnadsinterventioner gav för resultat. Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a common disease that is increasing around in the world. T2DM is primarily treated through adapting lifestyle habits to promote a healthier life. Research has shown that lifestyle changes have positive effects on treating T2DM, and they also reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications. It is the patients’ responsibility to apply lifestyle changes, and the nurse's role to promote lifestyle changes is therefore crucial. Aim: The purpose was to investigate how nurses can promote lifestyle changes in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Method: A literature review incorporating ten scientific articles has been conducted to compile findings that address the purpose of this literature review. Both qualitative and quantitative articles have been utilized. Results: The result indicated that nurses' methods for promoting lifestyle changes were effective. The methods employed by nurses included motivational interviewing (MI), continuous support and knowledge transfer. Nurses also underwent training to enhance their knowledge of T2DM and become more effective in promoting lifestyle changes for patients with T2DM. The observed effects included reductions in HbA1c levels, waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, weight, and BMI. Both nurses and patients perceived MI and knowledge transfer as effective methods for promoting lifestyle changes, emphasizing the crucial role of nurses' support and guidance in sustaining these changes. Conclusions: In summary, the result of the literature review highlights the crucial role of nurses in supporting and motivating patients to implement and sustain lifestyle changes. The literature review presents both quantitative measurements and the patients’ and nurses’ perspectives. This enabled a more nuanced and in-depth result of understanding the effects of the nursing interventions.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
