Nurse-Led Diabetes Clinic (NLDC) for a comprehensive diabetes care management

@#Chronic disease is rapidly becoming a greater burden in the world and the leading cause of mortality because of epidemiological transformation. Diabetes is one; with 6.7 million deaths registered in 2021. In the Philippines, a report by the International Diabetes Foundation (IDF) projects the number of patients with Diabetes in 2030 to reach 5.4 million and 7.5 million by 2045. Diabetes treatment in the Philippines is poor and challenging in terms of resources, government support, and economy. The national health insurance system does not have comprehensive diabetes care coverage and private insurance companies offer limited diabetes coverage. As a result, patients rely on "out-of-pocket" expenses for their laboratory testing and medications, and consequently, nonadherence to therapy. There is a need for an intervention in diabetes care management as Diabetes Mellitus (DM) prevalence posts an upward trend. This paper recommends the following policy statements to strengthen DM care management in a comprehensive, integrated, and coordinated nurse-led care system through “3Rs”: “Reactivating” the health promotion activities; “Rephrasing” the existing care provisions; and “Re-establishing” care models that will boost the DM management care among the Filipinos.

Analyzing Female Entrepreneurship in a Global Context -The Challenges and the Road Ahead.

In both developed and developing countries, women have always been associated with small-scale and home-based businesses for supplementing the household income. However, in recent times, many women are consciously giving up jobs for becoming entrepreneurs in formal as well as informal sectors. It is expected that by the year 2018, 9.72 million small, business-related jobs will be created and female entrepreneurs will contribute more than 50% in this job creation. These statistics prove that women are becoming more comfortable in assuming leadership position and creating job opportunities on a large-scale. Also, with more women launching exciting new ventures that are not just limited to small-scale businesses, it can be said that female entrepreneurship is reshaping the business landscape. However, the situation is not entirely perfect, since female entrepreneurs have to face certain unique gender-related challenges. The purpose of this theoretical paper is to highlight the unique aspects of female-owned businesses, find out the special challenges that women face because of their gender and discuss the strategies that they can consider for handling these challenges successfully. The findings can be helpful for women planning to launch their businesses or female entrepreneurs experiencing business-related challenges.

Mulheres empreendedoras: o desafio da escolha do empreendedorismo e o exercício do poder / Women entrepreneurs: the challenge of choosing entrepreneurship and the exercise of power

Este trabalho pretende fazer uma reflexão sobre a relação das mulheres com o poder. Isto é feito embasado em uma síntese de observações realizadas em diferentes estudos sobre o empreendedorismo feminino. Tendo em vista o desafio da escolha do empreendedorismo, analisa-se as motivações das mulheres para empreender, as consequências e as dificuldades enfrentadas, além das estratégias utilizadas para lidar com as demandas vinculadas à multiplicidade dos papéis femininos. O exame das características de liderança, observadas em empreendedoras, revela que elas tendem a construir redes sociais e a exercer o poder com os outros e não sobre os outros. Além disso, no comando de seus empreendimentos sociais, evidencia-se que as mulheres exercem o poder em prol de mulheres, objetivando empoderá-las e promover sua inclusão profissional e social. Com isto, provocam significativas mudanças sociais, econômicas e culturais.

This article aims to think about women's relationship to power, based a synthesis of observations made in different studies on women's entrepreneurship. In view of the challenge of choosing entrepreneurship, analyses are performed on women's motivations to become entrepreneurs, on the consequences of this choice, as well as on the difficulties faced by women entrepreneurs and the strategies they use to cope with different demands linked to the multiplicity of gender roles. The examination of leadership characteristics of women entrepreneurs reveals that they tend to build social networks and to use their power with others and not over others. Furthermore, it becomes evident that women social entrepreneurs in charge of their social ventures, while exercising their power on behalf of women, aim to empower them and promote their social and professional inclusion thus causing significant social, economical and cultural changes.

Redefinindo o significado da atividade profissional para as mulheres: o caso das pequenas empresárias / Women who run small enterprises: redifining the importance of professional activity / Redefinindo la actividad profesional: el caso de las pequeñas empresarias

Este artigo apresenta parte dos resultados de um estudo que investigou como pequenas empresárias do Estado do Rio de Janeiro percebem a atividade profissional, a maternidade e a conciliação trabalho-família. Nossos resultados apontam para o fato de que, se antes a maternidade definia a vida da mulher, agora, apesar de ser vista como essencial para a completa realização da mulher, ela parece já não ser suficiente para sua plena satisfação pessoal. Desenvolver uma atividade profissional é, para elas, não apenas fonte de sustento, mas, em especial, algo extremamente importante em suas vidas, e que se fez presente, inclusive, nos projetos e planos por elas traçados. Assim, estas duas esferas de atuação, a família e o trabalho, que, num primeiro momento, parecem mutuamente excludentes, acabam por ser vividas e assumidas concomitantemente no cotidiano, o que traz conseqüências importantes para a vida da mulher atual.

Este texto presenta parte de los resultados de un estudio sobre como pequeñas empresarias de Rio de Janeiro perciben la actividad profesional, la maternidad y la conciliación entre casa y trabajo, entre otras cosas. Los resultados evidenciaron que, aunque la maternidad otrora definía la vida de una mujer, hoy ella ya no parece suficiente para su satisfacción personal. Para estas empresarias, desarrollar una actividad profesional constituye, no apenas fuente de sustento, sino, principalmente, algo de extrema importancia en sus vidas, algo que siempre estuvo presente, incluso, en sus proyectos y planos de vida. No obstante, la maternidad sigue siendo vista por ellas como esencial para la completa realización de una mujer. Así, estas dos esferas de acción, que, en un primer momento parecen mutuamente excluyentes, resultan por ser vividas y asumidas concomitantemente en lo cotidiano, algo que trae consecuencias importantes para la vida de la mujer de hoy.

This article presents part of the results of a study that investigated how small entrepreneurs from Rio de Janeiro see professional activity, motherhood, and the conciliation of work and family, among other things. Ours results point to the fact that, although maternity used to define the life of a woman, nowadays it does not seem sufficient for their personal satisfaction. For these entrepreneurs, the development of a professional activity, despite bringing them financial support, is mainly a fundamental part of their lives, something that was always present in life projects and plans. Despite that, maternity continues to be seen as essential for the full realization of a woman. Thus, these two spheres of action, house and work, which, at a first glance, seem mutually excluding, end up by being lived and adopted concomitantly in daily life, something that brings important consequences for the life of women nowadays.
