Study Findings and its Implications Lorig, Ritter, Villa, and Arnas (2010) conducted a randomized longitudinal study to understand the effectiveness of a community-based diabetes self-management program on health status such as hemoglobin A1C, weight, depression, fatigue, self-related health, frequency of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia symptoms; self-management behaviors; and self-efficacy. The study revealed that there was statistically significant improvement in depression, symptoms of hypoglycemia, communication with physicians, healthy eating, patient activation, reading food levels, and self-efficacy. However, there was no significant changes in hemoglobin A1C and health care utilization.
There was no difference in A1C between the intervention …show more content…
(2010) mentioned that the measures such as health status, health behaviors, and health care utilization, and self-efficacy were identified through focus groups conducted for diabetes patient and based on the self-efficacy theory. The self-efficacy theory was developed by Albert Badura in 1994. Bandura (1994) defined self-efficacy as the belief in one’s ability to succeed in a particular situation. The beliefs are the determinants of how people think, behave, and feel. According to the self-efficacy theory, all people identify goals they want to accomplish, things they want to change, and thing they would like to achieve. However, the goals and changes cannot be accomplished without mastering self-efficacy. People with a strong sense of self-efficacy are motivated, committed, and recovery easily from …show more content…
Importance of theory construct I agree with her that the theory construct are important in identifying the cause of delay to seek care. In this case, the causes such as age, gender, SES, history of illness, consultation, and so forth that were identified in previous studies were classified into the construct of the CSM. For example: a study related to physical activity looking at the motivational factor might use construct such as influence at the individual level, interpersonal level, and community level. These are constructs of the Social ecological
