Aims:
The aim of the present paper was to establish and implement an integrated nursing management model for patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) based on the Omaha System and to explore its impact on blood glucose levels, quality of life, and diabetes knowledge in these patients.
Methods:
A non-randomized concurrent controlled trial was designed and the study was conducted in a hospital on the east coast of China between September 2013 and November 2015. We screened for patients with newly-diagnosed T2DM in 12 clinics of 3 comprehensive hospitals. A total of 367 patients with newly-diagnosed T2DM were assigned into two groups. In the intervention group, patients received routine outpatient care plus integrated nursing management; in the control group, only routine outpatient care was given. Changes in blood glucose levels, quality of life, and diabetes knowledge in both groups before the intervention and 6 months after the intervention were observed and compared.
Results:
At the 6months, blood glucose levels, quality of life, and diabetes knowledge in the intervention group were significantly superior to those in the control group (all P<0.01).
Conclusions:
The integrated nursing management model was able to improve patients' glucose levels, quality of life, and diabetes knowledge.
