The Potential Effects of Environmental Factors on Proposed Policy and Practice Guidelines

.

In order to design a prediabetes screening awareness program, some external factors must be

considered. Some of these factors include staffing, financial planning, and support services.

Staffing is an essential consideration when it comes to patient satisfaction. Nurses play a

significant role in patient education; to enhance quality care and outcomes, there is a need to

have the correct number of trained nurse staff to offer public training and awareness on the

importance of prediabetes assessment. Nurses and nurse managers are very influential in

implementing an evidence-based practice that supports the organizational culture and

environment (Bianchi et al., 2018). Another vital resource consideration is the finances needed to

design the best awareness programs that will go a long way in helping prevent and manage

diabetes. This policy calls for team collaboration from the healthcare interprofessional teams to

work collaboratively with the primary objective of preventing and managing diabetes.
