ABSTRACT: Diabetes is the world’s third
largest threat to people’s health. In China, the incidence of
diabetes is on the rise, the cure rate of diabetes is low, patients with
complications are more, and diabetes patients bring a heavy economic burden to the family and society. Compared with developed
countries, China still has a big gap in terms of diabetes care, education and
management, and even less long-term follow-up of diabetes education and management
results. Therefore, the management of diabetic patients should not only stay in
the intervention during hospitalization, but also extend to the outside of the
hospital. Only by implementing the
whole-process nursing case management integrating hospitalization-family/community-outpatient, can diabetic
patients better control blood glucose, delay or prevent the occurrence of
chronic complications, and improve their quality of life. The nursing work
method of case management is adopted to carry out personalized assessment for
diabetes patients, design the process of initial outpatient consultation,
content and process of follow-up consultation for nurses, and implement
personalized guidance. The diabetic complications should be screened regularly,
diabetes management should be standardized, self-care ability and behavior
compliance of treatment and nursing of diabetic patients should be improved,
and comprehensive whole-process nursing management should be provided for every
diabetic patient, so as to improve the quality of life of patients and truly
benefit diabetic patients.
