Behavioral maintenance: a closer look.

Abstract

TOPIC: Behavior maintenance. PURPOSE: To discover the descriptive picture of how an individual with type 2 diabetes self-managed and adapted the necessary behavior changes into her daily lifestyle. SOURCES: Personal research and literature review. CONCLUSION: Behavioral maintenance to self-manage a specific regimen for people with type 2 diabetes is complex and difficult. It is important for nurses "not to jump to conclusions" and assume the client has not made the necessary changes to incorporate the behavior changes into a life style routine. Nurses need to be cognizant of the differences and unique situations of their clients when teaching them about managing their disease.

Implementing emergency research requiring exception from informed consent, community consultation, and public disclosure.

Conducting emergency research in the out-of-hospital and emergency department setting is a challenge because of the inability of patients to provide informed consent in many situations. Federal guidelines allowing research under an exception from informed consent for emergency research have been established (21 CRF 50.24). Community consultation and public disclosure, 2 required components of obtaining this exception, are seen by many as a barrier to resuscitation research. This article will provide a brief overview of the history of the exception from informed consent for emergency research and summarize our methods recently used to successfully complete community consultation and public disclosure for a trial evaluating 2 devices used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a large metropolitan area.
