A Nurse-Led Cognitive Training Intervention for Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes
Research in Gerontological Nursing
|July 24, 2019
Summary
A new nurse-led cognitive training program, Memory Attention and Problem Solving Skills in Persons With Diabetes Mellitus (MAPSS-DM), improved diet adherence and cognitive function in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Nursing
- Clinical Psychology
Background:
- Diabetes mellitus (DM) is linked to cognitive impairment and decline.
- Cognitive dysfunction complicates diabetes self-management.
- Nurses play a key role in managing diabetes complications and preventing decline.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and pilot test a nurse-led cognitive training intervention for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
- The intervention, MAPSS-DM, aimed to improve cognitive function and diabetes self-management.
Main Methods:
- The MAPSS-DM intervention involved 8 weeks of in-person classes and online computer training.
- Development included adapting existing interventions, stakeholder interviews, content integration, and pilot testing.
- A one-group, pre-/posttest design (N=19) was used for pilot testing.
Main Results:
- Postintervention, participants showed statistically significant improvements in diet adherence, memory ability, and executive function.
- 58% reported the intervention aided their diabetes self-management.
- 74% desired to continue using the learned cognitive strategies.
Conclusions:
- The MAPSS-DM intervention is a promising approach for improving cognitive function and self-management in individuals with T2DM.
- Nurse-led cognitive training can positively impact diabetes care and patient outcomes.

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational
4.4K
Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, arises when the insulin receptors on cells lose responsiveness to insulin, diminishing the cell's capacity to take up glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. To receive a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a series of blood glucose tests are necessary to assess whether the blood glucose falls within normal parameters. If the result is out of the normal range, a patient may be diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic, depending on the...

Unit records in healthcare settings document the patient's treatment history, including interventions, medications, diagnostic and laboratory results, progress notes, personal care needs, vital signs, and other medical information. They are crucial for managing patient care, aiding healthcare professionals in providing quality treatment and informed decision-making.
Unit records can be divided into two main types: administrative records and clinical records.
