“…A recent study by De la Cruz et al. (2019) using the DAS3 was administered to 339 health care providers in the Philippines. The health care professionals ranked the subscales from the highest need areas to the lowest: Need for Specialized Training, Patient Autonomy, Psychosocial Impact of DM, Value of Tight Control, and Seriousness of NIDDM.…”

“…The health care professionals ranked the subscales from the highest need areas to the lowest: Need for Specialized Training, Patient Autonomy, Psychosocial Impact of DM, Value of Tight Control, and Seriousness of NIDDM. More than 50% of the health care responders were barangay health workers, often referred to as Community Health Workers (De la Cruz et al., 2019). The health care professionals from the Philippines, previous research involving nursing students (Williamson et al., 1996), and pharmacists from Bosnia and Herzegovina (Catic et al., 2019) indicated survey participants agree that caring for patients with diabetes requires specialized training.…”

Aim The research purpose was to determine whether exposure to residential diabetes camps affects attitudes toward diabetes care and management in nursing students. Background Summer camp for children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) provides a unique and engaging clinical environment for nursing students to learn about evolving diabetes care and to help children develop diabetes management skills. Methods This prospective, pretest/posttest study assessed student nurses' attitudes about diabetes, who attended one of four residential summer camps in the United States, using the Diabetes Attitude Survey 3 (DAS3). The survey was administered before and after clinical experience designed to fulfill experiential curricula requirements from various nursing programs. Results After attending diabetes camp, nursing students (N = 73) had a positive change in their attitudes regarding the need for special training and the psychosocial impact of diabetes. Discussion The diabetes camp clinical experience impacted nursing students' attitudes. Diabetes camps are a unique clinical setting that uses learned clinical knowledge and judgment to promote health and prevent disease and disability, supporting the integration of primary care and public health nursing.

“…However, a study by Polubriaginof et al [ 31 ] reported that among the eligible-for-screening cohort, 30.6% of the participants did not receive diabetes screening based on current recommendations, and that having more than 1 family member affected by diabetes increased the likelihood of screening. Furthermore, in a study in rural health centers in Aklan in the Philippines, healthcare professionals had neutral diabetes-attitude scale scores and they believed that special training was needed for type 2 diabetes [ 32 ]. In combination with the results of Edelman et al [ 33 ] who reported that having a primary care provider did not raise or lower the risk for undiagnosed diabetes in screened patients for diabetes, the aforementioned findings could show that healthcare providers’ knowledge of the importance of diabetes screening does not guarantee that they provide advice on screening or that patients adhere to screening.…”

Objectives: Insufficient evidence exists regarding factors that affect screening adherence among people with a family history of diabetes, who comprise roughly half of all patients with diabetes. Therefore, we aimed to identify the determinants of diabetes screening adherence in adults with a family history of diabetes who had not yet been diagnosed with diabetes. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at selected urban primary healthcare facilities in Tehran, Iran. The study population was clinically non-diabetic adults above 20 years of age with a family history of diabetes in at least 1 first-degree relative. All eligible people identified on randomly-selected days of the month were invited to join the study. Results: Among 408 participants, 128 (31.4%) had received a fasting blood glucose check during the last year. Using binary logistic regression, the independent predictors of screening adherence were knowledge of adverse effects of diabetes such as sexual disorders (odds ratio [OR], 3.05) and renal failure (OR, 2.73), the impact of family members’ advice on receiving diabetes screening (OR, 2.03), recommendation from a healthcare provider to have a fasting blood glucose check (OR, 2.61), and intention to have a fasting blood glucose check within the next 6 months (OR, 2.85). Other variables that predicted screening adherence were age (OR, 1.05), job (being a housekeeper; OR, 3.39), and having a college degree (OR, 3.55). Conclusions: Knowledge of the adverse effects of diabetes, physicians’ and healthcare providers’ advice about the benefits of early disease detection, and family members’ advice were independent predictors of screening adherence.
