Clinical value of a whole-course health education model in diabetes care management

Objective: To analyze the clinical value of the whole-course health education model in diabetes care management. Methods: Diabetic patients (n=80) who were admitted to our hospital were selected for a retrospective study. They were divided into the observation group (whole-course health education model, n=40) and the control group (routine nursing model, n=40) depending on the different nursing models given during hypoglycemic treatment. Nursing compliance and incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups were compared. The effect of blood sugar control, quality of life after the intervention, and patient's satisfaction with nursing work were assessed. Results: The blood glucose level of the observation group after nursing was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). The nursing compliance in the observation group (97.50%) was significantly better than that in the control group (80.00%) during the nursing process (P<0.05). The observation group had higher patient's satisfaction with nursing work (92.50% vs. 75.00%) and quality of life than the control group (both P<0.05). There was a lower incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group than the control group (2.50% vs. 15.00%, P<0.05). Conclusion: The whole-course health education model is effective in diabetes care management. It can help patients establish a healthy lifestyle, and control related indicators, and as such is worth promoting.
