The following articles trumpet the CON’s accomplishments in the diabetes arena, with the many grants, awards and accolades. The CON is a pioneer and leader in diabetes care. Diabetes—a chronic disease that has no cure and is one of the fastest growing diseases in the United States—kills more people annually in the US than AIDS and breast cancer combined. Nearly 26 million people have some form of the disease, and one in four is not yet diagnosed. At least 79 million more are at risk for type 2 diabetes, including one in three adults. In this issue, we share with you how we at the CON are influencing the trajectory of this disease through chronic care management, innovative research being conducted across international borders, and our strong national leadership. Featured is a conversation with Dr. Sandra Burke, Clinical Associate Professor, Urbana’s Regional Director and current President of the American Association of Diabetes Educators. She shares insights about diabetes management from her many years in the diabetes arena. Dr. Lauretta Quinn, our newest American Academy of Nursing Fellow leads the charge at the CON in diabetes investigative research engaging fellow faculty and graduate students to advance the science in management of chronic illness in diverse populations. You will read about how the CON’s pioneering program in nurse-managed primary care, Integrated Health Care (IHC), so dramatically refined care delivery in Illinois that the Illinois Department of Health and Family Services, Your Healthcare Plus, recognized IHC for the “best outcomes” for high risk diabetes patients in the State of Illinois. I look forward to your reading our new extended segment and sifting through our accolades and research. I also want to share with you the changes being made to our facilities. Our newly re-furnished lobby is a beehive of activity where students now gather around a laptop at the high table for group study, plop in the cushy seating area to share their clinical experiences, or prepare for class at the small tables. Several of our classrooms also have a new look and the installation of the teleconferencing system allows for enhanced communications with our regional programs. We have upgraded our two research floors and more is being done including a welcoming new external look on the north side of our building. In the fall we will be sending faculty educators and practitioners to Rwanda to develop curricula and mentor nurses in community practice. The CON is participating in an exciting international venture uniting with other US nursing schools through the Clinton HealthCare Access Initiative to develop a healthcare infrastructure in Rwanda. Another international thumb print is the incredible story of one of our BSN graduates serving our “wounded warriors” in a triage unit in Germany. The College of Nursing is a research intensive, top-ten ranked nursing school with a stellar faculty, involved alumni and incredibly qualified students. The CON has such a strong national reputation for excellence in science with amazing opportunities for growth and our ongoing search for additional scholarship avenues. We have endless possibilities ahead of us. Thank you for your interest and support of our College of Nursing! Terri E.

It’s even harder when you also have diabetes. Yet, the two conditions often coexist, because the same antipsy- chotic medications that help control mental illness can also lead to serious weight gain and dysregulation of lipids and glucose. These changes, in turn, put patients at a heightened risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and creates a vexing choice for patients and providers—by fighting one disease, they invite another. The trade-off also creates unmistakable tension between mental and physical healthcare practitioners and their advocates. “It’s a challenge and a dilemma,” says Emily Brigell (MS ’97), Director of the College of Nursing’s (CON) Integrated Health Care (IHC) practice. This nurse-managed practice of the CON addresses the issues by ensuring that patients can effectively control their mental IHC staff with their “Best Diabetes Management Award of Excellence” illnesses while also maintaining their overall health. “We’re working with people who have a lot going against them.” IHC works alongside the psychiatric healthcare providers at Thresholds-Dartmouth Research (For more information, visit http://www.hfs.illinois.gov/dm/fact.html.)

Three-fourths of Thresholds “It makes it more likely that our clients are going to get better care patients with diabetes enrolled for care at IHC met the American because the practitioners are able to work with what other providers Diabetes Association (ADA) standard for diabetes control - a result that may consider limitations [of patients suffering from mental illness]— Your Healthcare Plus evaluators call “astounding.” It was a victory not such as poor follow-through in terms of following up on appointments only for IHC but also for those Chicagoans suffering from mental illness. and also self management.” That’s because the award and the clinical results that precipitated it indicate that the IHC nurse-managed practice model is succeeding. 4 “It is incredibly important that these IHC nurse practitioners are “Providers may even be afraid of people with mental illnesses, because they don’t understand [the conditions],” says Sefton. “Sometimes patients act out or don’t understand things, and providers either get very frustrated or they become nervous. But the beauty of the IHC practice is that we have a relationship with Thresholds and they can help our providers learn how to approach these patients.” The northside Intragrated Health Care practice. “It takes a unique personality to have the patience to listen to a health history that may take more than an hour to record properly,” says Sue Braun (MS ’99), who mentors nursing students at IHC as part of Indeed, IHC’s practitioners take pride in knowing how to overcome her role as a Clinical Instructor in the CON’s Department of Health the barriers to health care caused by mental illness. “Change is hard for Systems Science. “It also takes a unique person to stay in this position anybody.

Also, you can’t ask the client to do a respect for their patients. Caring for people with mental illness is an number of things at one time. For example, you cannot say, ‘Now start honor, says Shaw. “It takes courage to live with severe mental illness, exercising, eat right and quit smoking.’ You have to tackle it in little and it’s a privilege to learn about that courage from our patients.” pieces.” modate the particular needs of their patients. They meet with their That model applies to IHC itself. Piece by piece, year by year, the program’s formula for success has come together.

That raises their comfort level (people with mental illnesses prefer to receive primary care at the same facility where their psychiatric conditions are treated, according to Thresholds’ Davis), and also ensures that their physical care is provided by nurse practitioners who understand their unique needs. That’s no small advantage. People with a serious mental illness die an average of 25 years earlier than their counterparts in the general population, according to a 2006 report by the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors. That study also found that sixty percent of those premature deaths are caused by diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or respiratory and infectious diseases. Primary care providers are often unprepared or unwilling to serve patients with mental illnesses because their office visits can be lengthy and complicated and because providers must sift through lists of IHC Practitioner Barbara Shaw and an IHC patient. complaints and physical issues separate from psychiatric ones. 5 A Powerful Treatment with a Serious Side-Effect context of mental illness? Quite a bit, as it turned out – but it pertained to mental health treatment, not self-management of physical health. The advent of second-generation , “atypical” anti-psychotics With the support of grant funding from the Chicago Community Trust in the 1990’s marked the beginning of a new era for people suffering secured by Lucy Marion (PhD ’90), IHC family and mental health from schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. These drugs, among them nurse practitioners had developed the first-of-its-kind set of evidence- olanzapine, respiradone, and clozaril, were more effective than their based practice guidelines for managing diabetes in patients suffering predecessors in limiting the negative symptoms of psychotic episodes from mental illness who were also taking atypical antipsychotic such as lethargy, flat effect, social withdrawal, and inability to feel medications such as olanzapine (available on the project’s website at pleasure. By relieving these symptoms, the atypicals improved http://www.uic.edu/nursing/pma/services/diabetes/research/index. functioning and quality of life. Hospitalizations were shortened, and htm). Culminating with a thorough peer review by a panel of expert clini- more could return sooner to school, work and their families. cians recruited from psychiatry, pharmacy, nursing, and endocrinology, the groundbreaking 2003 recommendations included frequent It soon became clear, however, that these new drugs had serious side effects, most notably substantial weight gain and dysregulation screening for diabetes and pre-diabetes treatment for patients on drugs of lipids and glucose. People were not only gaining weight, they were such as olanzapine. The guidelines also included key nursing consider- demonstrating substantially heightened risk of developing diabetes. ations so central for success: provide primary care in mental health However, the benefits of these drugs in controlling mental illness were treatment settings if possible; build patient-provider therapeutic so compelling that their popularity skyrocketed in spite of the health relationships; provide ongoing, appropriately tailored patient education risks. for self-management; provide case management to assure coordinated care. CON’s IHC had started its practice in 1998, in the midst of this revolution in mental health treatment. It soon became apparent that the rates of new cases of diabetes were far above what the IHC practitio- but everybody can do some of it, agree Judith McDevitt (PhD ’97, ners had seen elsewhere in primary care. Onsets could be swift and MS ’90, BSN ’88) and Marsha Snyder (MS ’76, BSN ’72), lead dramatic: could this be an unfolding epidemic? Although numerous authors of the 2003 report and clinical faculty in the CON’s Department reports were appearing in the literature, there was no consensus on of Health Systems Science. As McDevitt puts it, “You want to increase what was happening. Meanwhile, IHC had a burgeoning population of patients’ confidence that they can take care of themselves and to feel new cases of type 2 diabetes that brought into sharp focus the need to that, just as they can recover from mental illness, they can also manage respond. With the cornerstone of successful diabetes care being their diabetes.” self-management, how could self-management best be promoted in patients who also have serious mental illness? year the first recommendations from the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the American Psychiatric Association, the American Association In response, IHC’s nurse practitioners turned to the literature. What did research have to say about learning and self-management in the People with serious mental illness vary in their ability to self-manage, The CON’s 2003 comprehensive recommendations predated by a of Clinical Endocrinologists, and the North American Association for the Study of Obesity for patients on atypical anti-psychotics. Early on it was recognized that patients taking the new anti-psychotics had extreme weight gain and their lipid and glucose levels changed. It was then recommended that psychiatrists begin monitoring weight gain, waist circumference, lipids and glucose levels and to refer for treatment when abnormalities were found. Today, far more is known about the link between diabetes and anti-psychotic medications and emerging national standards have helped IHC continually refine its model. Now with many more drug options available, if one drug is causing rapid weight gain or metabolic changes, another can be tried. In 2008, the ADA recommended metformin for pre-diabetes in selected high-risk patients, a strategy included in the CON 2003 recommendations. In 2010, the ADA then added the Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test as another criterion for diagnosing diabetes. While not possible nationally prior to that time due Integrated Health Care staff 6 to concerns about laboratory standards for calibrating the test, in 2003 Glucose Sensor the Chicago laboratory used by IHC had met the standards so that use of the HbA1c for diagnosis could be included in the 2003 CON recommendations. This was important because the HbA1c does not require patients to abstain from food before the test, making it easier to complete the testing. Considering that patients with mental illness are less likely to keep multiple appointments than the general population, being able to use the HbA1c to identify diabetes so treatment could be started was a significant advance. McDevitt is proud of how she and her colleagues pioneered a new standard of care, and continue to lead in demonstrating how to provide effective primary care for people suffering from mental illness. “It’s been extremely satisfying to see how nurse practitioners working together can develop and manage this practice and have very successful outcomes with one of the most challenging and vulnerable patient populations there is,” McDevitt says. “It’s a huge success story in showing what nurses and integrated care can do.” Diabetes and Exercise: Making a Difference Volunteering for an informational healthcare-related research study can typically mean answering questions or submitting to tests to generate the data that can answer the research question. Usually by the time the data is aggregated and analyzed by the researcher, and recommendations are made, the study participants have long moved on. A new study shows that immediate feedback to patients can and may make all the difference in self-care management and control of their diabetes. Cynthia Fritschi (PhD ’08), Clinical Assistant Professor in the CON’s Department of Biobehavioral Health Science, is studying the moment-to-moment interactions of physical activity, fatigue and blood-glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Her study is funded by a Pathways to Independence grant awarded to promising researchers by the National Institutes for Health. Fritschi hopes the study will ultimately reveal how three variables - fatigue, physical activity, and blood sugar influence one another. For example, does fatigue lead to decreased levels of physical activity or does a person’s blood-glucose level at the moment of fatigue affect the trend? To conduct the study, Fritschi asked a group of adults who have type 2 diabetes and are aged 45 or older to insert a continuous glucose sensor into the fatty tissue of their abdomens, then to wear the sensors for six days. The study participants also wear accelerometers on their wrists, which measures their physical activity and evaluates their fatigue levels at random times each day. Fritschi says that the glucose sensor is the toughest sell because of its invasive nature, but it is also sparks a strong reaction in the participants. The sensor calculates the participants’ blood-sugar levels every few minutes, giving them a moment-by-moment window into the ways that their blood sugar fluctuates with individual meals or activities. “The first woman I tested broke down and started crying. She was flabbergasted,” recalls Fritschi. “Most of these people monitor their blood-sugar levels once a day or not even, and if they do it in the Dr. Cynthia Fritschi weighing a patient. morning, then usually that number is fairly good. But once they have eaten breakfast or gone through various events that occur over the course of the day, they can have huge swings. Once they see the data from the sensor, they are just blown away.” 7 What we are seeing from this testing is that this information is their approach from ‘There’s nothing I can do until I see a doctor or leading to the participants making changes in their lives. It’s still too nurse in two months’ to ‘What can I do right now based on this early to draw definite conclusions, but Fritschi says that, so far, patients feedback?’” seem to be exercising more, eating less, or doing both because of the study. For example, for years, one patient had refused a doctor’s suddenly they are aware of the ramifications of their diet and exercise suggestion to take insulin because his blood-sugar readings indicated choices on their blood-sugar levels. “Before, perhaps intuitively people that his diabetes was under control. Fritschi’s sensor showed him knew that a particular choice wasn’t doing them any good, but after the otherwise. Now he regularly takes insulin medication. study they see it - immediately, and it allows them to get a good feeling about what’s going on,” says Lauretta (Laurie) Quinn (PhD ’96), a In other instances, the study participants can see blood-sugar Fritschi is seeing that people do act on this information because spikes just after eating a particularly unhealthy meal, or how their diabetes scholar and CON faculty member. “Some people may not act glucose levels were much healthier on days when they exercised. on this, but for everyone who does, that’s one more person that now “When people see the direct effect from their activities, when they can has a decreased risk of complications.” say, ‘Oh, I took a walk and my blood sugar went down 50 points,’ that’s information that leads them to make changes,” says Eileen Advancing Diabetes Education: Collins, Fritschi’s mentor for the study. Collins is a Professor in the A Q&A with Sandra (Sandi) Burke (PhD ‘04, RN), Director, UIC Urbana Regional Program and President of the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) CON’s Department of Biobehavioral Health Sciences and also a Research Career Scientist at the Edward Hines Jr. Veterans Administration in Chicago’s western suburbs. While initial patient reactions to the data are promising, Collins emphasizes that the challenge for healthcare providers is to help patients sustain behavioral changes over time. It’s with that in mind that Fritschi is considering launching an intervention study that would be geared toward helping patients make lasting changes based upon the The driving force behind diabetes education is simple: people with diabetes do a better job self-managing their condition and will fare better overall when they know more about diabetes and how they can combat its effects. The goal of the American Association of data.

It turns She tells Vital Signs about her plans for AADE, and her belief in the power of diabetes education. Vital Signs: Why is diabetes education important to achieving more effective diabetes care? Sandi Burke (SB): We have known for nearly twenty years that well-controlled diabetes makes a difference in preventing complications, yet we still have high levels of these diabetes complications. We still have high levels of heart disease related to diabetes, and diabetes is the most common condition associated with kidney failure. Diabetes is also one of the most common causes of vision problems. So we’re still not doing a good enough job of preventing chronic causes of diabetes. Part of the reason is that we haven’t hit on the best way to help people self-manage their condition. We know that self-management is a key piece of diabetes control over time. We also know that diabetes education is a very effective management tool. However, diabetes education is still very hard to Dr. Laurie Quinn and Dr. Sandy Burke, experts in the diabetes area. 8 come by, and many patients never have the advantage of interacting else is in same boat, so they develop relationships with other children dealing with exactly the same things that they are. That translates into lifelong friendships. There are children I met when they were eight years old in 1989 or 1990 who are now adults and still maintain relationships with other adults they met as children twenty plus years ago. They learn from one another. People are responsible for 99 percent of their own diabetes care. Only one or two percent of their care is actually performed by or managed by a healthcare provider, whether that’s a physician, nurse, diabetes educator, dietitian or pharmacist. Peer-to-peer influence is huge and these lifetime relationships that the children develop are very Children with diabestes at the American Diabetes Association camp in suburban Chicago, IL. important. The value of camp to a nurse or nursing student, or a physician or dietitian, is immersion with that group of children who have diabetes. You can learn more from a week in camp about diabetes than you with a qualified diabetes educator. Then those who are able to, are will in an entire two-year educational program that covers maybe four often limited in the time they spend with that diabetes educator by or five intermittent classroom hours on the topic of diabetes. At camp whether that time is reimbursable or not. you become immersed in it because you are living with these children and you see what they go through on a daily basis. You become very Knowledge is power. Yet we haven’t shared that knowledge very effectively with people who are making daily decisions on which foods sensitive to what their needs are. It’s a life-changing experience for to choose, whether to exercise or not, and how to manage their stress. many of our students. I don’t know what the best suite of activities is [for managing diabetes], but I can tell you that in the past and still today, [healthcare providers] focus on telling patients what to do, and that does not work. Instead, we have to help them understand why they need to do these things so that they will then make good choices in self-management. That means focusing on empowerment and patient choice rather than focusing on compliance or adherence models of care. That’s not a slight shift— that’s a major shift in care management. It’s all about chronic care management, not acute care management, and that’s a paradigm shift in how we manage health care. Some of what we need to be looking at is how diabetes education fits within an accountable care organizational model. Diabetes education doesn’t just deal with managing blood glucose levels. It has an impact on physical activity, on lipid control, cholesterol control, hypertension control—all the conditions related to diabetes that lead to long-term complications. Vital Signs: Each year, the UIC’s CON sends students and faculty to participate in diabetes camps for children. You participated for many years. What’s the value of a diabetes camp, both for the children and the staff? SB: When children come to camp for the first time, they may never Vital Signs: What are your goals for your term as President of the AADE? SB: There are qualified diabetes educators who are not being reimbursed for the very good work they do, and they need to be [reimbursed]. So as an association, one thing we’re doing is taking an active role in advocacy. Currently, someone who is classified as a diabetes educator can’t bill for their service. They can bill through some other codes to be reimbursed, but there is not direct reimbursement for diabetes education. That’s a huge problem. If you are providing a service that you can’t bill directly for, you’re not going to fit well into the prevailing model of care. Education is one of those things we should look at as an essential need, but many people think that anyone can do it. No. Information delivery is not the same as education. Behavior change is not an outcome of information delivery. Behavior change is a unique outcome that a diabetes educator will focus on by helping people effectively manage their condition. That’s not giving someone a piece of paper. It’s working with them to identify behavior modifications and then to aid them in sustaining those changes over time. have met anyone else with diabetes at school or in their community. But when they’re at camp, everybody else has diabetes—and it’s usually type 1, the type that requires daily insulin injections and frequent blood glucose monitoring. So these kids come to camp and everybody 9 Diabetes and Culture: A Global Epidemic and Multicultural Threat: UIC Researchers Examine Its Impact in Five Cultural Contexts Several CON faculty and graduate research projects are currently underway examining the effect of diabetes in various ethnic and cultural contexts. The following five stories examine how diabetes management affects diverse populations. Migrant Workers in the Chicago Area The researcher: Susana Castro is a PhD student in the CON and has served on the National Advisory Council on Migrant Health. The question: Migrant farm workers may seem like a population at low risk of developing diabetes, because their jobs can be physically taxing. But after 15 years on the board of Community Health Partnership (CHP) of Illinois, a group of health clinics that serve migrant laborers, Castro knows better - she knows that diabetes, along with Migrant Workers in the Chicago Area, Susana Castro hypertension and heart disease, are among the most common problems First-generation Korean-Americans in the US, Hanjong Park seen at CHP health centers.

Among this group, diabetes is twice as “It’s pretty easy to say, ‘Go out and lose weight and go buy fruits and prevalent as in the general population. As Castro examines the dietary vegetables.’ But we have to do it in the context of their culture and diet, and physical activity-related factors that make migrant workers prone to within the context of what they know,” says Laurie Quinn, a preeminent diabetes, she will attempt to distinguish between cultural factors and diabetes scholar on the UIC CON faculty. “We have more success those factors related specifically to migrant work. In the latter category, when we’re more culturally specific. Then people can adapt.” she hypothesizes that these factors could include limited access to To that end, several CON scholars are undertaking a myriad of healthcare and healthy foods, as well as a lack of exercise. She states research projects aimed at examining how different cultural and ethnic that although one may not realize this fact but farm work can include groups are affected by diabetes, and what prevention and control highly repetitive tasks that can be physically exhausting but do not strategies might be most effective in various cultural settings. necessarily constitute the sort of exercise that promotes cardiovascular health. In some cases cultural differences affect how seriously people take their diabetes diagnosis or how it poses specific dietary threats. In others, the differences can be physiological: for instance, diabetes risk working as a migrant laborer, they may be simply eating more fast among Asian populations, unlike other ethnic groups is more closely foods, or buying foods that are cheaper or more processed. A lack of tied to genetic insulin resistance and less directly tied to weight gain. access to fresh fruits and vegetables, for example, could hinder their Here’s a look at ongoing CON research projects aimed at helping diets,” Castro says. Her study is aimed at gathering data, but she has scholars and healthcare providers refine their diabetes strategies in five also been brainstorming solutions, for instance: “Wouldn’t it be great if particular cultural contexts. we could find a way to get farmers to sell the fruits and vegetables they “We know what Mexican-Americans eat. I just wonder if, while grow at a price that was affordable for their farm workers and their families? Or if they could provide gardens for those families to tend?” Castro’s study will include migrant workers in multiple Illinois locations, including Aurora, Woodstock and Kankakee. She will survey participants about their dietary and exercise habits and their access to healthcare, as well as measuring their body-mass indexes, cholesterol and glucose levels. Laurie Quinn’s take: “Migrant workers have a variety of health problems, including the fact that many of them are developing diabetes. They also struggle with access to care. How are we trying to prevent that? [Castro] has a lot to offer here.” First-generation Korean-Americans in the US The researcher: Hanjong Park, a PhD student at the CON. Park is a native Korean and worked in Korea with patients suffering from diabetes and kidney failure. The question: Park knew about the strong connection between diabetes management and kidney failure and thus the importance of treating diabetes and pre-diabetes. When Park arrived in Chicago to begin her graduate studies, she noticed that many first-generation Korean-Americans had poor diets, engaged in little physical activity and were prone to sedentary behaviors such as sitting and watching television over long periods of time. Park set out to determine the risk of diabetes for this population and to educate her participants about diabetes, pre-diabetes and how to take healthy measures in their lives to help prevent the disease. The project: In the midst of data collection Park will interview 200 Korean-Americans at venues such as churches and community centers. In addition to the interviews, Park checks her participants’ diabetes risk by monitoring their blood pressure, measuring the circumference of their waists, and administering diabetes tests, including Hemoglobin A1c. In addition, participants will wear accelerometers for a week, which will then allow Park to test their level of physical activity. Park says that even in Asia, Koreans have a higher likelihood of developing diabetes than Caucasians. She expects that Koreans’ predisposition is even greater in the United States, because she suspects first-generation Korean-Americans eat fattier foods and are more sedentary than they would be in Korea, as they adjust to life in their new country. “There are no existing studies checking diabetes risk in this specific population,” says Park. “Through this study, we will be able to see which factors are related to diabetes risk among first-generation Korean-Americans, and to plan care and prevention strategies accordingly.” Laurie Quinn’s take: “People think that sedentary behaviors are the reciprocal of being physically active, but Park is emphasizing the role of true sedentary behavior, such as extended periods of sitting, as opposed to simply a lack of exercise. She’s getting at the effect of that time spent in true inactivity, and how that impacts people’s risk of diabetes.” African-Americans in Chicago The researcher: Donna Calvin (PhD ’09) is a UIC CON graduate conducting post-doctoral research. She is also a Clinical Instructor and formerly the lead clinician for inpatient diabetes and diabetic kidney disease at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County. The question: African-Americans are at greater risk than the general population of developing type 2 diabetes and also of developing complications related to diabetes. This is no statistical blip—AftricanAmericans are four times as likely as any other ethnic group to develop certain diabetes-related conditions. Calvin’s goal is to learn why African-Americans are so susceptible. The project: Calvin is in the midst of her second survey of the African-American population in Chicago. The first survey focused on people who had been suffering from diabetes for less than five years and had not developed complications; the second survey is focusing on people suffering from chronic kidney disease. Calvin’s first study found that participants were aware of their heightened risk of diabetes. An astounding 80% of the population in the study reported that they had relatives with diabetes yet this group still tended not to think diabetes was particularly serious. “Most of the people thought diabetes was a temporary disease,” says Calvin. “They didn’t think they were at risk of developing complications, or they didn’t believe that having the disease would pose a serious burden.” The disconnect between perceived and actual risk was particularly true regarding the three diabetes complications for which African-Americans are most vulnerable, relative to the general population: amputation, kidney disease and blindness. In Calvin’s current study, she is comparing the perceptions of kidney-disease patients on dialysis with the perceptions of people 11 whose conditions have stabilized. She is working with the John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County to develop a chronic kidney disease committee and hopes the study will aid the committee’s work. Laurie Quinn’s take: “Kidney disease is such a terrible disease, and so many of the things that cause a serious decline in kidney function can be prevented. You have to look at, why aren’t people thinking about their risk? And then, what can we do to help them? That’s what Calvin is doing, and it’s a very valuable public health project.” Diabetes in Thailand The researcher: Boontuan Wattanakul (PhD ’12) is native of Thailand where she completed her research. The question: Wattanakul is curious about the effect of specific aspects of Thai culture on diabetes control and self-management among middle-aged and elderly people in Thailand. She wonders what factors such as the Buddhist belief and practice and Thai culinary customs may have on their attempts to control diabetes. “Effective self-management behavior is important because it represents the decision people make to follow a healthy lifestyle, leading to optimal diabetes control,” says Wattanakul. “I want to find strategies that help diabetes patients make proper management choices that will then allow them to achieve success.” The project: Wattanakul surveyed 197 people in Thailand with diabetes. She found that her subjects’ understanding of diabetes, and even the degree to which they effectively controlled their blood-glucose levels, had virtually no effect on their attention to self-management activities such as blood-sugar monitoring, insulin medication, exercise and meal patterns. Further, neither age, gender, education, nor the length of time a person had diabetes was much of a factor. Which factors did register? Religion is one example. Participants who reported strong dedication to religious practice (most of Wattanakul’s study participants were Buddhist) were also more likely to practice pro-active self-care. But Wattanakul also found that the positive effect of Buddhist practice was mitigated by other elements of Thai culture - specifically the consumption of rice. Food plays a critical role in Thai culture, and Thai people consume extremely large amounts of carb-heavy rice and sugary fruits. “Even when people who have diabetes attempt to limit their portions, it can be hard because of their culture,” says Wattanakul. “Thai people love to eat.” Dr. Laurie Quinn testing samples Laurie Quinn’s take: “Diabetes is extremely common among Asian communities, and Wattanakul is looking to aid her homeland, where the number of people with diabetes is increasing. It will be an interesting assessment to find out whether people’s behaviors can be modified given a particular cultural context.” Diabetes in India and America The researcher: Laurie Quinn is a CON Clinical Associate Professor. In October 2011, Dr. Quinn was inducted as a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing in Washington, D.C. The question: Quinn first noticed that people in India were develop- ing diabetes at a high rate, and that as they immigrated to the United States, their diabetes risk increased. Part of this phenomenon can be attributed to a more sedentary lifestyle, but because even adolescents are at risk, Quinn wants to know what other factors might be at play. The project: Quinn is examining the blood and biochemical indexes of the participants in her research study, searching for more information about the relationship between lipid disorders and diabetes. She believes that Indian-Americans may be genetically transmitting insulin resistance from parents to children, and early research results suggest that her hypothesis is accurate. Insulin resistance can be influenced by factors ranging from waist circumference to physical activity and diet, in addition to genetic causes. But a genetic predisposition toward insulin resistance is certainly a disadvantage in diabetes prevention. Once Quinn concludes her current study, she hopes to move to a larger project focused on intervention amongst Indian adolescents in an attempt to limit their incidence of diabetes. “As a nurse, this is ultimately about what we are able to modify and what we can improve in the lives of others, which can be guiding them to increase their physical activity and making their diets better,” 12 Quinn says. College of Nursing Profile Investing in Our Students Futures: A Donor’s Legacy Denise Rosen has worked for the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) for 34 years, including more than three decades at the College of Nursing (CON). Although she officially retired as the Director of Student Services in 2007, she still works part-time for the CON as Facilities Manager Denise’s legacy at the CON extends beyond her job. She is also the donor behind the Seth and Denise Rosen Memorial Research Fund, which supports research projects for the CON’s PhD nursing candidates. The fund honors Seth Rosen, Denise’s husband, who died in 1997. Here is the story behind the gift to the CON. It’s also about what Seth and Denise learned first-hand regarding the impact that nurses can make even under the most tragic of circumstances. Seth Rosen and Denise met at a gathering in 1993. They realized they had many common interests and life philosophies. They became friends, their relationship continued to progress and they became engaged. Two months into the engagement Seth was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Seth and Denise moved up their wedding date and had a beautiful ceremony in July, 1996. After the wedding, they carved out a life of doctor’s visits, rehab sessions and enjoyed what they could while Pictured with Denise Rosen, center, are four past recipients of the Seth and Denise Rosen Memorial Award.

During his illness, Seth often spoke of what he imagined his legacy to be. It was then that Seth and Denise began to talk about using some of the money from his life insurance policy to create a scholarship fund. While research, they are asked to write a letter to Denise detailing the impact of working at the CON, Denise had seen first-hand what scholarship dollars the scholarship monies on their education, research and their future goals. could mean to students.

CHAI was instrumental in developing an academic consortium of six colleges of Nursing and eight colleges of Medicine in the US to scale up nursing, dental, medical education and human resources in Rwanda. US schools are expected to send a total of 100 faculty members per year (42 nurses/midwives (N-MW), 54 medical doctors, two health managers and two dentists) for the next seven years. This is the largest cooperative global health effort ever undertaken between universities in the developed and developing world.

Raised on the southwest side of Chicago, Mary Beth had four paramedic. She says that if her older sister would have joined the Marine siblings and all were inspired because of the strong role model their mother Corps, then all the U.S. military services would have been covered. played in their lives. Mary Beth in particular followed in her mother’s footsteps by becoming a nurse. From watching her mom, Mary Beth motto for the Navy Reserves is “Ready Now, Anytime, Anywhere”. She learned how to juggle a large family while still always giving back. Her says proudly “You have to believe in that. Life can get very hectic working mom had graduated as a diploma nurse in 1955. From her mom’s stories, full-time with four children, a husband and going to the Reserves once a Mary Beth learned of the strength and resilience of nurses and their passion month. You just have to prioritize accordingly. I am also very blessed with for giving. Mary Beth’s most treasured items from her mom are her nurse’s an extremely supportive husband, family and friends. Nobody does cap, pin and cape and she feels she carries her mother’s torch for her anything alone. I am grateful for all of them.” passion for nursing. Mary Beth’s primary education was at Catholic schools in Chicago. To On Mother’s Day 2011, Mary Beth was recalled to active duty. The Mary Beth’s full-time job stateside is working at Hines VA Hospital in Hines, Illinois.

She was a Clinical Nurse Flight Coordinator for the Deployed Warrior Medical Management Center (DWMMC). This department is unique to the military as it is the only one of its kind that can air-evacuate patients. When Mary Beth reflects on her time serving at LRMC, she refers to their motto which is simply and clearly “Selfless Service”. “I believe that serving our country without a doubt needs to be selfless. We have so many of these heroes with multiple battle injuries. I can never again wake up in the morning and complain. I see every day the sacrifices our ‘wounded warriors’ make. They put their lives on the line every moment in this war. They are my real heroes. I couldn’t be any more humbled and honored to be here serving our troops. I will definitely go home a changed person.” Mary Beth’s orders were for one year and she returned to the US just before Mother’s Day, 2012. Her goal now is to get back in to the swing of regular life and enjoy the summer with family and friends while also pursuing a master’s degree in nursing. She has no plans for retiring from the Navy Reserves. and says that she still feels the same enthusiasm to serve her country as she did that day in January of 1985 when she signed her enlistment papers. Mary Beth echos the Navy Reserve motto: “Ready Mary Beth below an air-evacuation plane 34 now, anytime, anywhere.” Alumni Updates College of Nursing Hosts Inaugural Alumni Day of the College of Nursing at Ribeirao Preto, University of Sao Paula.
