Abstract
AbstractPurposeTo evaluate and synthesize the evidence related to issues that impact type‐2 diabetes self‐management in rural communities.Data sourcesA systematic review of the literature from 2008 to 2013 was conducted using the following health science databases: CINAHL, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and OVID. Other databases searched included the clearinghouses of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC); National Rural Health Association (NRHA), State Offices of Rural Health (SORH), and Rural Health Research & Policy Centers (RHRPC). Keywords used to obtain relevant articles included rural, type‐2 diabetes self‐management, health disparities, and nursing.ConclusionThree themes emerged from the literature examined: barriers to type‐2 diabetes self‐management, provider tools and education enhance type‐2 diabetes self‐management, and recommendations and guidelines for diabetes self‐management efficacy.Implications for practiceThe information presented here will support healthcare providers in improving preventative care, providing optimal disease management, and assisting with successful type‐2 diabetes self‐management in rural populations.
