Diabetes Management in Pediatric Populations

The purpose of this poster presentation is to present a review of current literature on the management of diabetes in pediatric populations, focusing on prevalence, diagnostic strategies, treatment protocols, psychosocial impacts, and accessibility challenges.

After viewing this poster presentation, the learner should be able to:

1. Identify factors influencing the prevalence and diagnosis of pediatric diabetes.
2. Evaluate evidence-based treatment strategies and emerging technologies for managing diabetes in children.
3. Analyze the psychosocial and accessibility challenges impacting children with diabetes and their families: Diabetes Management in Pediatric Populations

Diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic illnesses in children, with incidence rates rising globally. This review places an emphasis on early diagnosis based on community-based and routine screenings of high-risk populations. While the strategies for treatment between type 1 and type 2 diabetes differ, they mainly address changes in lifestyle, pharmacotherapy, and innovative technologies that pertain to continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pumps; however, access inequalities in this respect remain large, especially with regard to underserved populations using new technology.

The psychosocial effects of pediatric diabetes extend beyond the patient, impacting family dynamics and adherence to treatment plans. Integrated care approaches, including family-based interventions and psychological support, are critical for addressing these challenges. The research findings showed that implementing organized and coordinated data acquisition with technological support and with support for policy changes in the organization and care of children with diabetes could become effective practices for improving clinical results of T1DM diabetes mellitus treatment in childhood.

Recent studies emphasize the role of nurses in bridging the gap between advanced diabetes technologies and accessibility by advocating for equitable policies and educating families on resource utilization. In addition, the combination of behavioral health interventions with medical management has received some attention regarding the effectiveness of increasing adherence and global results. Thus, this systematic review of literature emphasizes the importance of multi-professional and multisectoral cooperation for effective and fair treatment of all children with diabetes.

A review of the literature was conducted using academic research and professional references in order to gather research on pediatric diabetes management. This reflection highlights the imperative to put into practice better approaches and address issues of health disparities while more attention is called for the integration of young patients into models of comprehensive treatment that are preferably central.

Guidelines for Developing an Abstract

An abstract is used to provide information about a presentation you want to give at a conference.  In spring semester for NSG 6697 you will share information about the topic you have researched in NSG 6696.  These guidelines are for a “generic” abstract, typical for most conferences; however, the conference to which you choose to submit may vary in requirements, and your “generic” abstract may require some minor revisions.

The sponsors of a conference announce a “call for abstracts”, usually several months before the conference and include the deadline to submit.   People who want to present at a conference develop an abstract describing content they want to present.  Usually 2-3 learning objectives are required and then a summary of the content to be presented.

A limit on the number of words in the abstract is often specified.   The sponsors of a conference usually give specific instructions on how to present the abstract.

Presentations may be either poster presentations or paper (podium) presentations.  For a poster presentation, you will develop a professional poster that will be printed by a professional printer.  The poster must be approved by your mentor.   For a podium presentation, you will be giving an oral presentation using a PowerPoint slide presentation to those attending the conference.

The instructions for preparing the abstract will state whether the “call for abstracts” is for posters or podium presentations or if you have a choice.  You can specify your preference at the beginning of the abstract.  The instructions will also specify the deadline for abstract submission.

For this assignment, you are developing an abstract with a “generic” (common) format:

Most abstracts undergo “blind review”.  Your name, contact information (email and phone number), and title of your presentation should be included on a title page.  Do not use a running head, and do not include your name on any of the following pages.  When your abstract is reviewed, the title page will be removed so that reviewers will not know who submitted the abstract.

On the second page of the abstract, give the title of your presentation at the top of the page.  The following introduction is recommended:

The purpose of this poster (or paper) presentation [specify one or use “or” to indicate you would do either a poster or paper] is to present a review of literature on (your topic).

Next give objectives:

After viewing this poster (or attending this presentation, if paper), the learning should be able to:

1. Objective 1
2. Objective 2       (can do 3, but no more)

Next, in one or two paragraphs summarize your presentation.  Don’t discuss your topic; use your literature synthesis to summarize what you learned about your topic.  Do not cite any sources in your abstract.

Body of the Abstract

A typical word limit for an abstract is 300-400 words and would include the title, the opening statement, and your summary paragraph(s), but not a reference list or the title page.

In NSG 6697 you will submit an abstract to be considered for presentation at a professional nursing conference.  Available conferences will be posted as dates and information become available under Modules.

Your abstract is due to your mentor by December 2.  Submit through the Assignment Link in the NSG 6696 Blackboard shell.  Your mentor will give you feedback.  Often there is a short time period between the call for abstracts and the deadline date, so it is important that you complete the abstract as much as possible this semester.

See the sample abstract posted in this module.
