The nurse's work to promote health in patients with type 2 diabetes : A literature review (English)
Abstract [en]
Background: Diabetes type 2 is a growing public disease worldwide that is primarily acquired through lifestyle habits, which is why self-care plays a large role in treatment. Untreated type 2 diabetes can lead to serious complications for the patient, which is why the nurse's work is focused on a person-centered approach in education, treatment and communication to support the patient in performing self-care.Aim: To describe how nurses can promote health in patients with type 2 diabetes.Method: General literature review based on a thematic analysis based on nine scientific articles, six quantitative and three qualitative studies.Results: Categories identified in the analysis included person-centered approach, increased self-efficacy and reduced risk of complications.Conclusion: Diabetes type 2 is an already widespread public disease where incidence estimates show a continuous and alarming increase worldwide. In addition, type 2 diabetes poses enormous costs to society. The authors therefore recommend that all nurses, already during basic education, should acquire broader competence in lifestyle and MI in order to more easily meet the growing population of patients with type 2 diabetes. However, research is needed into whether an implementation would be possible.
