View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.A comprehensive nursing intervention program significantly improved knowledge and practice in preventing non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) among Indian adults. This program is vital for diabetes prevention strategies.
Area Of Science
- Public Health
- Nursing Interventions
- Diabetes Mellitus Research
Background
- India faces a high burden of diabetes, with 72.96 million adult cases.
- Prevalence varies significantly between urban (10.9–14.2%) and rural (3.0–7.8%) India.
- Higher prevalence observed in adults over 50 years old.
Purpose Of The Study
- To evaluate the effectiveness of a Comprehensive Nursing Intervention Program (CNIP).
- To assess the impact of CNIP on knowledge and practice for NIDDM prevention.
- Focus on adult populations in an urban Indian setting.
Main Methods
- Quasi-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design.
- 60 adults selected via simple random sampling in Bangalore.
- CNIP included education, exercise demonstration, and an information booklet.
Main Results
- Significant improvement in mean knowledge scores (52.3 to 82.2).
- Significant improvement in mean practice scores (45.5 to 68.4).
- Paired t-test showed significance at P < 0.05 for both knowledge and practice.
Conclusions
- CNIP effectively enhanced knowledge and practice levels in NIDDM prevention.
- The program demonstrated a significant positive impact on adult participants.
- Highlights the role of nursing interventions in public health and diabetes management.

The therapy for diabetes aims to alleviate hyperglycemia-related symptoms, prevent acute metabolic decompensation, and reduce chronic end-organ complications. Glycemic control is evaluated through short-term (self-monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring) and long-term (A1c, fructosamine) metrics, enabling near real-time tracking of blood glucose levels and reflecting glycemic control over specific time frames.

For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...
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...
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels due to inadequate insulin production, insulin resistance, or both. The condition affects millions worldwide and can significantly impact their health and quality of life.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...
Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.
The nursing diagnosis focuses on evidence-based...
