Description

Abstract:: Studies have shown nurse-managed interventions teaching self-care behaviors, such as healthy eating, exercise, and medication compliance, to be effective in improving A1C levels. However, patients experiencing homelessness encounter unique barriers that contribute to insufficient diabetic management. By introducing a nurse-managed intervention that responds to population-specific barriers, we sought to improve educational efficacy and patient satisfaction among the homeless patients of PCHC Crossroads.
