Abstract:
Objective To investigate the cognition of the monitoring and management of blood glucose critical values among clinical nurses. Method Totally 112 clinical nurses from 28 departments of the hospital were involved in the investigation with a self-designed questionnaire. Results The average score on monitoring and management of blood glucose critical values was (79.69 ± 14.12). 53 nurses (47.32%) were at a medium or lower level. There were significant differences in the scores among the nurses of different age, work experience, education level and professional title (P<0.05). Conclusions The clinical nurses have inadequate knowledge about the monitoring and management of blood glucose critical values. The hospital administration should carry out various training methods for nurses to improve their ability in nursing diabetic patients.
