| Popis: |
Jamaican adults with diabetes mellitus (DM) living in South Florida often believe taking conventional medications can cause harm. In an effort to limit adverse effects of these medicines, they frequently engage in folk care. However, this practice could actually increase risks of DM-associated complications, such as chronic kidney disease. Little is known about what folk care Jamaican adults are integrating into everyday health care. This focused ethnography explored and described how Jamaican adults with DM who live in South Florida use folk care for managing their DM. Knowing what folk care is part of everyday health practices among ethnical and racially diverse populations, such as Jamaican adults in this study, can help inform nephrology nursing practice and support future research. |
