Abstract | ||||
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic condition that requires comprehensive management to prevent complications and improve patient outcomes. Nurses, as frontline healthcare providers, play a crucial role in diabetes care through education, management, and support. Effective nursing interventions can significantly impact patient outcomes, including disease management, self-care, and overall quality of life. Aim: This article explores the role of nursing in diabetes care, focusing on their involvement in patient education, self-management support, interprofessional teamwork, psychological care, and personalized interventions. It highlights the impact of nurse-led initiatives on diabetes-outcomes and the challenges nurses face in this area. Methods: A review of literature and case studies is conducted to assess the effectiveness of various nurse-led diabetes interventions. These include Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES), telephone interventions, psychological counseling, and advanced caregiver roles. The analysis also examines how these interventions influence patient satisfaction, hospital admissions, length of stay, physiological outcomes, and self-management behaviors. Results: The findings demonstrate that nurse-led interventions, particularly in DSMES and psychological support, improve patient knowledge about diabetes, enhance self-management behaviors, and lead to better physiological outcomes. Nurse-led telephone interventions and community health advisor education further support patients in managing their condition outside clinical settings. Additionally, the implementation of interprofessional teamwork has shown to enhance the overall quality of care provided to diabetes patients. Conclusion: Nurses play a critical role in diabetes care through direct patient education, support, and management. Nurse-led interventions, both in clinical and community settings, have been proven to enhance diabetes knowledge, reduce hospital admissions, and improve self-management behaviors. However, challenges such as limited training, role recognition, and resource constraints need to be addressed to fully maximize the potential of nursing in diabetes care. | ||||
