From the analysis, a model emerged conceptualizing the decision-making process of PrEP initiation in this sample.

In addition, PubMed and the journals the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, Currents in Pharmacy Teaching and Learning, and INNOVATIONS in pharmacy were searched. Data were retrieved on January 31, 2019 and systematic content analysis method was used. Number of publications, citations, H-index, and scope of IPE research including IPE settings, IPE curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment methods was recorded. A total of 1693 references were retrieved that met the inclusion criteria. From the review of the literature, it was plausible to assume that the number of publications increased exponentially from 2010 to 2017. The results indicated that the top 5 healthcare disciplines contributing to the IPE literature included: medicine (41.2%), nursing (36.2%), pharmacy (9.0%), dentistry (8.2%), occupational therapy (5.6%), and physical therapy (4.6%). A total of 295 journals published IPE-related articles. The Journal of Interprofessional Care published a total of 566 articles, accounting for 33% of all published articles.

Decreasing the long-term complications associated with this disease requires substantial vigilance, lifestyle changes, medication adherence, and motivation on the part of the individual. The purpose of this descriptive correlational study, guided by Orem's (1991) Conceptual Framework Theory of Self-Care, was to explore the relationship between family support, self-care, and health outcomes in African-American females between the ages of 40-80 years with type 2 diabetes. Specifically, the investigator set out to determine: (a) the relationship between family support and health outcomes in selected African-American females with type 2 diabetes; (b) the relationship between self-care and health outcomes in selected African-American females with type 2 diabetes; and (c) which of the two variables assessed in this study (family support and self-care) best predict health outcomes. A convenience sample of African-American females between the ages of 40-80 years were recruited through Qualtrics survey software. The investigator used the Diabetes Care Profile questionnaires to extract indicators for family support and self-care. Data were analyzed using a hierarchical regression model: analysis of variance (ANOVA), and a linear regression model. The investigator hypothesized that health outcomes in African-American females with type 2 diabetes are a function of family support and self-care activities, and when family support and self-care are adjusted, they will positively affect health outcomes. The study findings show that self-care abilities are the better indicator of health outcomes, but that family support does contribute positively to health outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":73847,"journal":{"name":"Journal of National Black Nurses' Association : JNBNA","volume":"30 2","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37742758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, 3 major themes emerged from the data: (a) minimal understanding of how to become a nurse, (b) the stigma of a feminized profession, and (c) a need for African-American men in nursing. Furthermore, this study found that barbershops are a viable setting for obtaining the perspectives of African-American men.
