Objective To observe the effect of Aquacel AG dressing in treating diabetic foot and nursing measures.Methods Seventy-nine hospitalized patients diagnosed as diabetic foot were enrolled,and 45 of them were chosen randomly as the experimental group,who was treated with Aquacel AG dressing,and changed the dressing per 3 to 5 days.The other 34 patients were named as the control group,who was treated with normal cotton dressing by wet compress,and changed the dressing one time per day.The total effective rate and healing condition were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the experimental group was 93.3%,higher than that of the control group (79.4%) significantly.The healing time of the experimental group was (64±10)days,shorter than that of the control group,(88±12)days.Conclusions Aquacel AG dressing was suggested to use in treating diabetic foot.

Objective To discuss the influence of establishment of special nursing clinic on medical compliance behavior of diabetic patients. Methods We randomly selected outpatients from the endocrine department and special nursing clinic as the control group and the observation group with 100 cases in each group respectively. The condition of medical compliance behavior and blood glucose control was observed and compared in the two groups. Results The patients visiting special nursing clinic were better in medical compliance behavior and blood glucose control. Conclusions Establishment of special nursing clinic for diabetic outpatients can improve the medical compliance behavior, satisfying the requirement for disease knowledge, enhance the shaping of healthy behavior and facilitate the control of disease progress.

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.

Objective To evaluate the effects of CHOICE management mode on adherence of adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods A total of 49 adolescents with T1DM were elected using convenience sampling method, and divided into the experimental group (26 cases) and the control group (23 cases) by random number table. The experimental group received the CHOICE management for 1 year, while the control group received traditional education management. The patients′self-management behaviors and HbA1c were evaluated before the intervention and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the intervention. Results The scores of Control Problems, Attitude Toward Diabetes and Understanding Management Knowledge after 12-months intervention were (2.71 ± 0.43), (3.89 ± 0.60), (3.05 ± 0.71)points in the experimental group, (2.49 ± 0.33),(4.20 ± 0.40),(3.51 ± 0.70)points in the control group, there were significant differences (t=-2.101, 2.129, 2.289, P<0.05). The scores of Diet Adherence after 1 month and 3 months intervention were (2.85 ± 0.0.67), (2.79 ± 0.66)points in the experimental group, (2.39 ± 0.70), (2.38 ± 0.67)points in the control group, there were significant differences (t=2.170, 2.338, P<0.05). HbA1c was(8.29 ± 0.76)% in the experimental group, (8.85 ± 1.14)% in the control group, there was significant difference (t=-2.041, P<0.05). There were no significant differences at the others times between two groups (t=- 1.556-- 0.527, P>0.05). Conclusions CHOICE management mode can effectively improve the self-management behavior of adolescents with T1DM.
