DNP Alumna Seol Publishes Article in Journal of Nursing Care Quality

DNP alumna Haesun Seol published an article entitled "Diabetes Self-management Quality Improvement Initiative for Medically Underserved Patients" in the Journal of Nursing Care Quality. Co-authors include Mark Thompson, Kathryn Evans Kreider, and Allison Vorderstrasse.

Abstract: The burden of diabetes is greater for minorities and medically underserved populations in the United States. An evidence-based provider-delivered diabetes self-management education intervention was implemented in a federally qualified health center for medically underserved adult patients with type 2 diabetes. The findings provide support for the efficacy of the intervention on improvement in self-management behaviors and glycemic control among underserved patients with diabetes, while not substantially changing provider visit time or workload.
