Abstract:
Objective To explore the effectiveness of self-care intervention for elderly patients with diabetes mellitus in rural community. Methods We randomly selected 100 elderly patients with diabetes from January 2013 to December 2013 in rural community health service station in Yizhou, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Individualized intervention of diabetes-related knowledge was delivered to patients. Fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin were compared before and after the intervention. The effectiveness of intervention was investigated by diabetes self-care scale. Results Levels of fasting blood glucose [(5. 91 ± 0. 10)mmol/L] and glycated hemoglobin [(4. 62 ± 0. 14)%] from 100 patients were lower than those before the intervention after 1 year intervention (t=11. 840,12. 379;P<0. 01). After intervention, the total score of diabetes self-care scale was improved to (89. 66 ± 1. 56) from (75. 32 ± 1. 50) (t = -7. 597,P <0. 01). Conclusions Blood glucose can be effectively controlled by helping the rural elderly diabetic patients to learn about self-care.
