TI  - Understanding Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Among Haitian American Women: A Cultural 
      Perspective.
PG  - 32-40
AB  - The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is 19.7% in Haiti (DeGennaro et 
      al., 2018). Haitian American women (HAW) experience difficulties with adherence 
      to T2DM treatment and management (Bivins, 2016; Magny-Normilus et al., 2019; 
      Vimalananda et al., 2011; Huffman et al., 2013); however, no previous study was 
      found that focused exclusively on Haitian American women with T2DM. Van Manen's 
      six research activities guided this phenomenological qualitative inquiry. 
      Recruitment included 25 Haitian American women (N = 25) with T2DM from three 
      South Florida counties. Data were collected using a vignette and audio-recorded 
      semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions. Recordings were then 
      transcribed and analyzed to identify thematic concepts and patterns. Themes of 
      spiritualizing and shifting cultural norms with the subtheme of dietary 
      restrictions were found. In conclusion, to promote health outcomes nurses must 
      incorporate these salient factors in the care of Haitian American women with 
      T2DM.
