Summary of literature review
The above review of literature shows that chronic diabetic kidney disease can be managed using the antagonistic protein agents with the potential to inhibit the action of growth factors and cytokines. These factors, which include cytokines, putative growth factors, growth hormone and insulin-like factors, play a significant role in the development and progress of the kidney problem in diabetic individuals. The specific proteins are designed specifically to allow them to identify, target and bind to the active sites of these factors in order to inhibit their actions.
Health promotion theory
The health promotion model designed and proposed by Nola Pender is one of the most effective nursing approaches in promoting health among communities. The model states that every individual has a set of unique characteristics as well as experiences with impacts on the subsequent actions (Pender, Murdaugh & Parsons, 2012).
For instance, the variables for behavioral specific knowledge have significant impacts on human motivation (Peterson & Bredow, 2011). The expected outcomes include improved state of health, enhancement of an individual’s functional abilities and improved quality of life at all the stages of human development (Sitzman & Eichelberger, 2012).
The nurse and clinicians should consider the sub-concepts of the model such as personal, biological and psychological factors of the patients. In this way, it is possible to promote health in individuals with diabetic kidney disease. The nurses will be required to consider a number of factors when implementing care. For example, the degree of self-esteem, perceived health status, body mass, agility and balance will be important in developing the appropriate health interventions.
Intervention method
Promoting health among for the patients with diabetic kidney disease will involve a wide approach that includes an analysis of the clinical, dietary, psychological and personal factors. In this case, the patients will be required to continue undergoing the appropriate medical therapies, including the use of proteins that are antagonistic to the identified biomedical factors (Stewart, 2013). However, there will be an emphasis on the dietary intake in order to ensure that the amount of proteins and fluids consumed do not promote the development of the kidney problems. In addition, the diabetic condition must be managed using the right diet in order to maintain the right glucose levels in the body.
Plan for interventions
An interdisciplinary group of nurses and clinical experts will be involved in providing these services in order to ensure that all the factors identified in the health promotion model are considered. Registered nurses (RN) will determine the personal, psychological and other factors that affect each patient.
The nurses will record these factors and forward them to the other members of the interdisciplinary group. The group will debate and derive some effective ideas and decisions for the right intervention method. Clinicians will be expected to lead the clinical approach, while RN nurses will conduct the psychological and personal approach. In addition, the RN nurses will be responsible for the follow up. The audience will include the patients and their families.
Summary
The intervention is appropriate because it considers a wide range of factors that affect the patient. Apart from the clinical symptoms and drug therapy, several factors such as psychological, physical and personal matters affect the patients. These affect the outcomes of the interventions. By considering these factors, the probability of obtaining the desired outcomes in health promotion is likely to be high.
