Abstract:
As part of the activities on the World Day for Diabetes in 2002, nine professors, one nurse who teaches about diabetes and 126 nursing students at University Schools of Nursing in Barcelona, Lleida, Tarragona, Tortosa and Girona, in collaboration with the Association of Diabetics in Catalonia and with the help of the Advisory Council for Diabetes in Catalonia participated in a diabetes screening campaign on the population residing in Catalonia. This campaign studied the prevalence of type two diabetes in a random sample of the Catalan population. This campaign also proposed to raise the awareness among the general population and among nursing students about the important health consequences diabetes has and to increase investigation and social support measures by nurses related to diabetes. This study checked 4083 persons and discovered 77 cases of altered blood-sugar levels among people who did not know they had diabetes. This finding means that there is a 2.2% prevalence of altered blood-sugar levels in the population who are not diagnosed diabetics. Professors and student participants all gave this experience positive marks and the students' degree of satisfaction was very high.
