Abstract
Support for nurses is necessary to enable them to practice the oral management of patients with diabetes; however, no support for nurses in this context has been reported. The objective of this study was to verify the feasibility of a nursing guide for the oral management of outpatients with type 2 diabetes, aimed at giving nurses the ability to independently practice oral management for patients with diabetes in an outpatient department. Questionnaires were administered to 25 certified diabetes educator nurses from 54 medical facilities. The evaluation and degree of understanding of the guide were assessed using items in the nursing guide. In addition, opinions and impressions about the guide in the form of free responses were requested. Descriptive statistics were calculated for all measured variables, and data gathered from the free responses were divided into categories based on their similarities and differences. The feasibility of the nursing guide was confirmed, and nurses confidently provided education regarding oral management to patients with diabetes using the guide. These results suggest that a guide may improve nurses' knowledge, skills, and confidence in providing patient education and improve the overall practice of oral management. Further improvements based on the opinions of nurses, such as the expression of terms, implementation of checklists for oral assessment, and identification of devices that can be utilized in a shorter time, are needed to facilitate the implementation of the guide into practice by nurses.
