Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Endocrinology
- Public Health
Background:
- Diabetes mellitus is a widespread chronic disease globally.
- Effective self-management and social support are crucial for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2).
Purpose of the Study:
- To validate expert consensus on Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) for self-management: diabetes and social support.
- To validate a social support intervention for adults with DM2 self-management.
Main Methods:
- A consensus study involving expert validation of nursing outcomes and indicators.
- Validation included conceptual/operational definitions and indicator magnitude.
- A 4-session social support intervention for DM2 self-management was designed and validated.
Main Results:
- 28 of 44 self-management: diabetes indicators and 9 of 12 social support indicators were validated (CVI 0.98).
- A 4-session individualized social support intervention for DM2 was developed, covering DM2 basics, healthy habits, safe care, and emotional support.
Conclusions:
- The study successfully validated two key nursing outcomes (self-management: diabetes, social support) and their indicators.
- Validated outcomes and the developed intervention support nursing professionals in managing diabetes patients.

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.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.2K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
