Abstract
Abstract: There is a critical need to discover health-promoting strategies to address a growing Hispanic immigrant adult population with diabetes who are at risk or have chronic kidney disease. Fellows are uniquely positioned to lead research efforts focused on community outreach to recruit this population to a kidney health clinic. Innovative models of care are important to provide care to a population who may not seek medical attention. The author collaborated with a registered renal dietician to develop a kidney health clinic. Funding from the American Nephrology Nurses Association enabled a feasibility study to recruit patients and test the effects of a model of care on patient related and health care system outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (JAANP) is a monthly peer-reviewed professional journal that serves as the official publication of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.
Published since 1989, the JAANP provides a strong clinical focus with articles related to primary, secondary, and tertiary care, nurse practitioner education, health policy, ethics and ethical issues, and health care delivery. The journal publishes original research, integrative/comprehensive reviews, case studies, a variety of topics in clinical practice, and theory-based articles related to patient and professional education. Although the majority of nurse practitioners function in primary care, there is an increasing focus on the provision of care across all types of systems from acute to long-term care settings.
