Literature Assessment Table Student’s Name: Nursing Practice Problem (200-250 words):
Diabetes is a serious long-term disease that can cause many problems for the rest of your life if you don’t take care of it properly. When diabetes is caught early, complications can be avoided and life can be made better. Also, if you take care of your diabetes, you’re less likely to get these serious complications that can be life-threatening. So, getting the right education about diabetes and the right knowledge about how to control it through self-care reduces the chances of getting complications, which in turn reduces the number of diabetes-related hospitalizations, accidents, and deaths. Even though traditional education is helpful in some ways, it doesn’t seem to help diabetes patients in the long run. Because of this, they need a more thorough education on the subject.
PICOT Question:
For the diabetic patients at the facility (P), would more education on the subject of diabetes (I) be more helpful than the usual limited information on the subject (C) in reducing the number of diabetes-related incidents, hospitalizations, and deaths (O) over the next 10 weeks (T)?

What does the article have to do with PICOT?
The main goal of the study is to find out how well health education helps improve people’s knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors so they can care for diabetes patients and avoid complications.
This study looks at how much diabetes patients know about self-care and how it can help prevent complications. The study looks at the difference between traditional diabetes education and diabetes education that uses a PM-customized pattern on self-efficacy and self-care behaviors.
Does the article use qualitative methods, quantitative methods, or both?
Explain your choice.
Qualitative gathered information about attitude, knowledge, and practice through face-to-face interviews.
Qualitative. We used a qualitative method to find out how much people know about taking care of themselves when they have diabetes. People talked to the patients. Quantitative. It looks at the level of self-care by using surveys.
Purpose statement
Find out what effect healthcare education has on people with diabetes.
Seeing how well the patients know how to take care of themselves when they have diabetes.
Analyze how pattern management affects customizing programs to teach people about diabetes.
Research question (s)
Does a good healthcare education teach attitudes, knowledge, and skills that help people with diabetes and their complications?
How well do people with diabetes know how to take care of themselves, and how does this help them avoid complications?
Is the PM group’s level of self-care higher than that of the control group?
Outcome(s)
Effective education about health care slows down how fast diabetes gets worse and keeps its complications from happening.
Knowledge about self-care for people with diabetes is about average.
More people in the Patten management group took better care of themselves than in the control group.
Setting
(Where did the research happen?) A tertiary care teaching hospital with a department of medicine. Five places to get medical care in Amman, Jordan. B General Hospital, Gyeonggi,
Sample 100 273 60
Method: Case-control study with face-to-face interviews to fill out questionnaires
Case control study with a cross-sectional design
What the study found and what it means for nursing practice
Compared to the control cases, the mean scores for attitude, knowledge, and practices show improvement, and the number of complications among diabetic patients has gone down by a large amount.
Overall, only 58.28% of people with diabetes knew enough to take care of themselves. It was also linked to age, level of education, and number of years with diabetes. There are more gaps in what people know that need to be filled. Self-care and self-efficacy were both better in the PM group than in the control group. This shows that diabetes patients need more PM education programs that work better than the ones that are already out there.
What the researcher thinks should be done
Diabetes education should get more money from the government and health care facilities.
Healthcare providers have a role to play in creating diabetes education programs that work based on the needs and traits of each patient.
More research is needed to come up with and use more individual-based diabetes programs or to improve the old education programs.

What does the article have to do with PICOT?
The study looks at how self-care can help keep complications from diabetes from happening. This study’s main goal is to find out if self-management education has any effect on self-care and making people feel better about themselves. It looks at the link between health literacy about diabetes and how well people take care of themselves, which reduces complications.
Does the article use qualitative methods, quantitative methods, or both?
Explain your choice.
Quantitative. Polls were used. Quantitative. Used surveys to get information. Qualitative. Self-reported questionnaires.
Purpose statement
Look at the things that affect how diabetes patients take care of themselves.
Check to see if there is a link between education about diabetes and self-care activities.
Look into how health literacy affects how people with diabetes take care of themselves.
Research question (s)
Does taking care of yourself help people with diabetes avoid complications?
Is learning about diabetes linked to doing better self-care?
Does education about health care, in this case about diabetes, make people better at taking care of themselves and improve the results?
Outcome(s)
63% of all patients kept up with the good self-care practice.
Self-efficacy and better health care were linked to learning about diabetes.
There were more good effects on self-care because of self-care empowerment.
Setting
(Where did the research happen?)
Ethiopia at the General Hospital in Debre Tabor, Alabama
In South Korea, there are three centers for community health.
Sample 405 1,318 136
Method
Cross-sectional study
Surveys
The sampling method of convenience. Intersectional study
What the study found and what it means for nursing practice
Even though they knew how it would affect them, a lot of patients didn’t take good care of themselves. There was a link between getting more education about diabetes and doing more self-care activities like watching what you eat, exercising, and checking your feet and blood sugar. People who know more about health care are more likely to be able to take care of themselves well.
What the researcher thinks should be done
Healthcare providers need to do follow-ups, counseling, and give the right education to help people who can’t take care of themselves well.
Self-efficacy can be greatly helped by future education programs that help people with diabetes improve how they take care of themselves.
Diabetes patients should have more control over their lives so they can learn more and take better care of themselves.
