From Doing to Bring: Incorporating Faith into Diabetes Self-Care Education
Abstract:
Millions worldwide live with diabetes and are challenged to make lifestyle changes. Nurses help patients learn strategies necessary for successful diabetes management. However, patients frequently view long-term behavior change as unachievable. This article offers educational strategies based on liturgical anthropology that can be incorporated into any diabetic self-care education program, but particularly in faith communities. Lifestyle habits are tightly interwoven with cultural, social, and spiritual belief. Liturgical anthropology explores how cultural and spiritual customs mold us and influence our behavior choices.
