Effect of a new health education model on continuous nursing in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus

摘要

Objective:We aimed to explore the effect of a new health education model on continuous nursing care in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus who had undergone an operation for fracture.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 59 elderly patients with diabetes mellitus and fracture.New health education methods were used,and patient parameters were evaluated before and after the intervention.Results:Evaluation of medication,reasonable diet,regular exercise,blood glucose monitoring,and regular follow-up compliance were significantly improved in the experimental group compared to the control group(P<0.05).There were also significant differences between groups in fasting blood glucose,2-hour postprandial blood glucose,triglyceride,high-density lipoprotein,and low-density lipoprotein levels(Z3<0.05);however,the differences between gro叩s in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin and total cholesterol levels were not statistically significant(F>0.05).Finally,the functional recovery and mental health of the experimental group were significantly better than those of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusions:The implementation of a menu of voluntary services in community-based continuous nursing provided standardized nursing care for elderly patients with fracture and diabetes mellitus and improved their quality of life.
