Abstract

Objectives: To enable effective use of hospital resources in relation to staff time and diabetes education; to ensure that all patients have access to a standard level of education; and to maintain and/or improve diabetes control.

Method: Multiple choice questionnaire to test knowledge; check of individual biochemical status.

Results: Diabetes knowledge and control were assessed in 51 persons with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) attending diabetes group education sessions at Hollywood Repatriation Hospital in Western Australia. The programme comprising three 2.5 hour sessions at weekly intervals, was conducted by the physician, dietitian, nurse educator, podiatrist and physio-therapist. Groups consisted of 7-14 patients, with partners encouraged to attend, and aimed to promote and stimulate discussion on diabetes self-care among participants. After group education there was a significant improvement in knowledge of diabetes, blood sugar control and energy balance. This was achieved with a reduction in staff time, when compared with individual education, and a more efficient use of hospital resources. Thus, the objectives were realized. It is concluded that diabetes group education is useful in patients with NIDDM attending Hollywood Repatriation Hospital.

西澳大利亚好莱坞遣返医院非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者群体教育的评价

目标:使医院资源在工作人员时间和糖尿病教育方面得到有效利用;确保所有患者都能获得标准水平的教育;维持和/或改善糖尿病控制。方法:采用多项选择问卷对知识进行测试;检查个人生化状态。结果:对51例非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病(NIDDM)患者在西澳大利亚好莱坞遣返医院参加糖尿病团体教育课程的糖尿病知识和控制情况进行了评估。该方案由医生、营养师、护士教育者、足病医生和物理治疗师主持，每星期进行三次2.5小时的会议。每组由7-14名患者组成，鼓励伴侣参加，旨在促进和激发参与者对糖尿病自我保健的讨论。小组教育后，糖尿病知识、血糖控制和能量平衡有显著提高。与个人教育相比，这是通过减少工作人员的时间和更有效地利用医院资源来实现的。这样，目标就实现了。结论糖尿病群体教育对好莱坞遣返医院的NIDDM患者是有益的。
