Twenty one district-nurses working in 13 districts were handed a questionnaire (one questionnaire for each patient), to collect data on nursing interventions and main problems of the 382 diabetic patients cared for. The diabetic patients are a very demanding population with a mean age of 78 years; 314 (82%) have a comorbidity, 272 (71%) severe limits on their physical functioning and 233 (61%) the diabetic foot; 183 patients (47%) are not capable of taking autonomous decisions. The nursing interventions for these patients are both technical (drawing blood samples, diagnostic exams) and educational on how to manage and monitor self-administration of insulin (31 patients, 10%), on self monitoring techniques (116 patients, 30%), on alimentation in general and change in food habits (289 patients, 94.1%). The role of the nurse in promoting patients' independence and in preventing complications is highlighted.
在13个地区工作的21名社区护士收到了一份问卷（每位患者一份问卷），以收集有关所护理的382名糖尿病患者的护理干预措施和主要问题的数据。这些糖尿病患者是一个需求很高的群体，平均年龄为78岁；314名（82%）患有合并症，272名（71%）身体功能严重受限，233名（61%）患有糖尿病足；183名患者（47%）没有自主决策能力。针对这些患者的护理干预措施既有技术方面的（采集血样、诊断检查），也有关于如何管理和监测胰岛素自我给药的教育（31名患者，10%）、自我监测技术（116名患者，30%）、一般营养和饮食习惯改变（289名患者，94.1%）。护士在促进患者独立性和预防并发症方面的作用得到了突出体现。
