Prospectus: Health Literacy: Is education the key to improved outcomes for Adult-Onset

Diabetic patients after the initial diagnosis.

Problem Statement

An estimated 30.3 million Americans are currently being treated for adult-onset Diabetes

or better known as Type two diabetes (DM type II). Many of those diagnosed with DM type II

lack education to provide the proper self-care at home. I currently work and reside on the

Mississippi Gulf coast. The clinic I work for is a rural initiative clinic who works hand in hand

with the Cleveland Clinic of Ohio to stamp out diabetes. Diabetic patients often experience fear

and anxiety after their new diagnosis of DM type II. My clinical practice problem is Health

Literacy: Is education the key to improved outcomes for Adult-Onset Diabetic patients after the

initial diagnosis. Many Diabetic patients are overwhelmed with information, once diagnosed,

that they sometimes do not understand their self-care instructions. In the outpatient setting, there

is little time for proper education on the many aspects of Diabetes, causing barriers to treatment.

Successfully meeting goals set for glycemic control is an essential component of primary care

prevention and reversal of the condition (Johnson et.al, 2001). Providing proper education at the

initial diagnosis is vital to initiating lifestyle modifications. Knowledge of diet enhancements,

daily physical activity, glycemic control, and diabetic foot monitoring are all behaviors desired

in the Self-care process. Deciding the best way to educate the client on diabetes management and

start at the initial diagnosis of the illness is vital to a positive outcome.
