Prospectus: Title
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,
better known as type two diabetes mellitus (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 that 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 stated as
Health Literacy: Is education the key to improved outcomes for Adult-Onset Diabetic patients"
after the initial diagnosis.
Preliminary supporting evidence from literature in this context demonstrates that patient
education is a very important component of the effective initial management of type 2 diabetes
mellitus. Burke, Sherr & Lipman (2014) noted that as the world becomes technologically
advanced, there has been a shift of focus of patient care to a more patient-centered approach
which necessitates that both the healthcare service providers and patients are engaged actively.
They emphasized the role of diabetes educators in engaging with diabetic patients.
