NUR550 Translation Research and Population Health Management
The population identified for the research involves African Americans suffering from Type 2 diabetes. African Americans are considered to have a higher risk of type 2 diabetes compared to other races. In most cases, obesity, genetic traits, as well as insulin resistance contributes to the risk of type 2 diabetes. Black Americans have the highest rates of diabetic complications as a result of the racial disparities in the healthcare system and poor glycaemic control. Afro-Americans suffering from diabetes often possess atypical presentation that simulates type 1 diabetes, however, there succeeding clinical course is a typical type 2 diabetes. Socially, the assistance from nurses, structured disease management protocols, diabetic educators, as well as the interventions of other medical professionals are some of the effective measures when it comes to the management of type 2 diabetic among the African Americans in the United States (Carpenter, DiChiacchio & Barker, 2019). Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes and it begins after forty years. The body is unable to make enough or properly use insulin which results in increased blood sugar levels. Research indicates that black adults are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to white adults.
Synthesis of Nursing Science, , and
The application of nursing science is essential in the management of type 2 diabetes among African Americans. With the application of evidenced-based practices as well as the community interventions, African Americans who have low income can access the medical system and nursing care that can enable them control physiological factors that can lead to type 2 diabetes. For instance, nursing interventions that are geared towards reducing obesity are some of the essential factors when it comes to the management or control of obesity among African Americans. Changing the lifestyle, nutritional practices, and creation of a healthy environment are some of the health determinants that can be used to manage type 2 diabetes or factors that may lead to it among African Americans (Hu et al., 2016). The epidemiological approaches and genomic studies among African Americans are some of the approaches that can be used to identify the best intervention approaches in the management of type 2 diabetes or the conditions associated with it such as obesity.
The foundation of handling type 2 diabetes is lifestyle changes. The use of pharmacological agents should supplement diet and exercise and should not replace them. Research reveals that intensive lifestyle interventions prevent the progression of impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes effectively than metformin. Nevertheless, African Americans lack intensification of treatment and thus do not achieve adequate glycemic control. The population does not comply with self-monitoring or adhere to treatment due to economic factors, literacy levels, sociocultural factors and lack of diabetes education (Chlebowy et al., 2019). These challenges can be dealt with if providers follow the recommendation from the American Diabetes Association. The presence of genetic data may impact the population health management. In other words, the data may be used in the study of other factors or conditions that may be associated with type 2 diabetes. For instance, data on obesity among African Americans may be applied in the determination of the presence of hemoglobin A1C, a genome linked to the type 2 diabetes.
Potential Solution for Solving the Problem of Type 2 Diabetes
Among African Americans
One of the potential solution to type 2 diabetes is lifestyle change. Embracing physical exercise and eating healthy is essential in reducing health complications that lead to diabetes. Also, there is the need for interventions, facilitating preventive factors and practices that can lower in the incidences if type 2 diabetes among African Americans (Konstantinos, 2018). The adoption or application of the nurse-led diabetes self-assessment education may often lead to the reduction of complications caused by the conditions, as well as other conditions such as end-stage renal diseases. Assessments are important in ensuring earlier diagnosis and as well as the development of appropriate interventions that may enable patients adhere to the control measures aimed at prolonging their lives.
PICOT Statement
African Americans are vulnerable to type 2 diabetes due to their lifestyle and the inability to get quality care from healthcare institutions. When compared to other races, African Americans lead with the highest number of infections of type 2 diabetes.
PICOT Question
What are some of the potential solution to type 2 diabetes among African Americans?
How the Solution Incorporate Health Policies
The solution to type 2 diabetes among African Americans incorporate different health policies and goals that support healthcare quality. The general goals of the healthcare institution is to ensure a healthy population. Encouraging physical exercise and lifestyle change is a general call that ensure reduction in the cardiovascular diseases associated with type 2 diabetes. Health policies also stipulate that prevention is better than cure. Therefore, with the intervention mechanisms from both the healthcare system and personal decisions, it will be much easier to control diabetes among African American population. Increasing the quality of life among the African Americans who have Type 2 diabetes is an essential step that would ensure a reduction in deaths as well as the severity of the disease.

Week 3 Assignment
Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal: PICOT
PICOT (Population/Problem, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Time to achieve the outcome) is a method that helps clarify the qualities needed to create a good question out of a practice issue or problem affecting a population of focus.
The purpose of this assignment is to complete your PICOT for your selected nursing practice problem. Refer to your “Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal: Identification of Nursing Practice Problem” assignment from Topic 1 to complete this assignment. If your nursing practice problem or PICOT required revision, include those revisions in this assignment. The final PICOT you develop in this assignment will provide the framework for developing your evidence-based practice project proposal. Use the “PICOT-Final” template to complete this assignment.
Refer to the “Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal – Assignment Overview” document for an overview of the evidence-based practice project proposal assignments.
Re: Topic 1 DQ 1
Translational research is form of clinical research that was first seen around 1993 (Rubio et al, 2010). So as far as research goes this is a fairly new was to look into things. There is also no clear definition of translational research, but essentially it encompasses two areas of translation one being the information obtained in pre-clinical studies, lab research and the other being the adaptation of best practices in the community with their cost effectiveness (Rubio et al, 2010). There are three levels of translational research, starting with T1, which involves the beginning research or development of an intervention, including the lab research, observational research and phase I and II clinical trials (Translational Research, n.d.). The second level is T2 the translation to patients, testing these interventions and their efficacy on the patient populace, including phase III clinical trials, studying how these new interventions work with disease processes and creating new guidelines with up-to-date information (Translational Research, n.d.). The third level is T3 disseminating and implementation of all the research into daily practice, creating the research evidence found into evidence-based practices across the profession (Translational Research, n.d.).
From this information there isn’t a difference between evidence-based practice and translational research, it is just a way to get to evidence based practice. By following the ‘three T’s’, the final step is to put all of this research into practice, as evidence-based practice. For public health this means the most up to date care and information as the natural progression of translational practice ends with practice. If there is no research being done in the area however, this has a negative impact on the population, as there is not up to date EPB related to that disease process and/or its co morbidities.

This is insightful Sarah, translational research is form of clinical research that was first seen around 1993. So as far as research goes this is a fairly new was to look into things. Translational research refers to a form of study that seeks to produce more applicable, meaningful and valid outcomes that can directly impact human health. The main objective or purpose of the translational research is to translate essential science discoveries more quickly and efficiently into practices (Eske, 2020). Translational research has been applied frequently by different researchers to enhance research processes geared towards achieving quality treatment processes and effective patient outcomes. There are three major level of translational research including T1, T2, and T3. These levels need to be incorporated into the research processes to ensure accuracy and effective outcomes in the research processes (Woolf, 2018). Level I or T1 often involves development of interventions to ensure that the entire research processes is done effectively in line with the set objectives.
