Introduction

Context of the Problem

There are too many males suffering from diabetes than women. Typically,short males have been

found to suffer from diabetes due to either lifestyle challenges,depression or stress streaming

from financial,emotional or family pressure. Whether from rich or poor backgrounds shorter

men are at higher risk of diabetes .Diabetes is a condition that has never been fully understood.

Though,many scholars associates its happenstances to lifestyles among other issues.

The Problem

Shorter men,no matter the social status are prone to myriads of health issues,be it

TB,hypertension or diabetes. These health issues are as well as problem to the nursing

fraternity. For instance,the typical ratio of shorter and taller men is often 4:10 of men,taller

men carries the greatest share. Even though shorter men are perceived to be more

strong,robust and enduring,clinically,they seem to be more prone to diabetes. It is not typical to

get a shorter man boasting of his status as being suffering from diabetes. But why do shorter

men ? Could this be attributed to other factors beyond lifestyle and social issues. Even though

diabetes can be a problem to anyone,shorter men are more affected across all social,economic

and racial barriers.

Description of the ramifications of the problem .

When shorter men suffer from diabetes ,it lowers their productivity,lifespan and their happiness

scale is disrupted. Too,their sex life becomes a problem,this ends affecting the larger society

since majority do not access health-care services

Statement of the problem

There is a huge discrepancy between shorter males and taller males diabetes patients. The

discrepancy is as a result of weight and height differentiation which is blamed for the growing

problem. According to Theodore ,et al (2008),majority of shorter males are excluded and

discriminated on thought that they are more healthier that taller males. This trend is affecting

the productivity of shorter males within all social spheres. The issue of shorter males being

more susceptible to diabetes has been identified as a prevailing factor that is making majority

of them appear to be living in denial increasing instances of diabetes.

Significance of the problem

Diabetes is not a preserve of shorter males ,it is a class problem that can affect anyone. The

issue of high diabetes presents a superb ground for understanding the measures to be

employed to counter the problem. Diabetes is a lethal disease that requires massive financial

muscle to treat,it requires a lot of social,emotional and economic resources to treat . The need

to explore this issue is to develop a viable solution that can help in streamlining the treatment

regiment and lower the risk amongst the shorter men. Many competent and performing shorter

males too are affected .

Statement of the purpose of the research

The purpose of the study is to investigate and understand why and how diabetes is affecting

shorter males more than tall males.

Research questions and/or hypotheses

Why are shorter men more prone to diabetes? Do shorter males have a weak immune system

,or is that they are naturally include to high weights which lead to diabetes?

Literature Review

High instances of diabetes of shorter males is a nursing issue that have continued to dog the

nursing profession,in regard to health-care provision. Being a condition viewed by many as a

domain of the rich and the affluent,many short male patients continue to be alienated and

excluded despite their deteriorating conditions,and urgency of care needed. Treatment bias

including health care stereotyping are evident within the existing diabetes treatments programs

since the nursing facilities are often designed for taller men who appears to be more confident.

Similarly,diabetic as a condition has been factored and tethered to class aspects of caring. Many

scholars argues that shorter men are victims due to their anatomy and have weak capacity to

withstand elements that cause diabetes,too they are perceived to be detached and without

emotionally attachment to their wellbeing. Different studies point out that diabetes among the

shorter men is more of genetic factors ,while another school of thought thinks otherwise.

Recent studies posit that 52% of short male in their lifetime do nurse one of the two types of

diabetes ,while another 49% is under diabetes type I medication. Current studies examining

why shorter men have very high percentage of diabetes demonstrates that their exists a need to

define the correlation between shorter men and diabetes. The condition is more widespread in

developed countries,but the issue is,globally,shorter men are more affected. The ratio is high

and the shorter men appears to be less prone to stress or worries which causes diabetes. This

phenomenal though heavily investigated provides a challenge to the health-care providers

globally.

Methods
NURSING ISSUES 5

There are various methods and procedures employed in steering a research to a productive

conclusion. To answer the research question,research design,sample,population,data harvesting

procedures and data analyses must be factored. The study is designed to be descriptive. This is

due to the fact that the researcher would determine the influence of the variables and design in

correlation to each other to give a conclusive results. The variables to be tested have to be

quantitatively defined. The usefulness of the selected research design would be anchored on

the premise of the research methodology. Sampling procedure would be tied to random and

probability sampling. Likewise,the participants would be assigned to the defined groups divided

on the margins of random assignments as well as median splits. Data gathering would involve

observations,interviews,focus groups and questionnaires and surveys. Though ,ethnographies,

Case Studies,and Oral History would also be considered.

Research design

The subject examined would entail the use of descriptive research design. The objective is as a

result of the various variables that would be probed and quantified. The relationship between

shorter and tall males would examined,aspects of genetic,hereditary,treatment, and health care

service delivery are some of the factors to be examined. These attributes are essential in in

questioning and extracting the suitable information to forge a strong ground for generating a

viable solution. Thus,the approach would provide a critical analysis of the problem.

Independent variables would constitute information given to the participants and the

dependent variables would be the information remembered and brought forward by the

participants. The data would be analyzed used SPSS,this would help in determining the

correlating factors and the probability instances of why ,how,or when diabetes is rampant

among shorter men compared to tall ones. To understand the scope of diabetes amongst the

shorter males as an issue in nursing,it would be important to question the usefulness of shorter

males and their contribution towards better understanding of diabetes as a condition in

comparison to tall males . These attributes would be the basis by which the scope of qualitative

approach would be employed.
