The purpose of this study was to compare nurses' knowledge of diabetes and nursing interventions in a home health care agency (HHCA) that employed a diabetes nurse educator (DNE) and an agency that did not employ a DNE. Nurse knowledge of diabetes mellitus was measured using the Diabetes: Basic Knowledge Test (DBKT). Nursing care interventions for patients with diabetes were measured using a researcher-developed tool, the Nursing Care Intervention Tool (NCIT). The data analysis showed that the nurses in the agency with the diabetes nurse educator were significantly more knowledgeable about diabetes. The data also showed that the nurses in the HHCA with a diabetes nurse educator provided a significantly higher standard of patient care than the nurses in the agency without a diabetes nurse educator.
本研究的目的是比较在设有糖尿病护理教育者（DNE）的家庭保健机构（HHCA）和未设DNE的机构中，护士对糖尿病的知识掌握情况以及护理干预措施。使用《糖尿病：基础知识测试》（DBKT）来衡量护士对糖尿病的知识。使用研究人员开发的工具《护理干预工具》（NCIT）来衡量对糖尿病患者的护理干预措施。数据分析表明，设有糖尿病护理教育者的机构中的护士对糖尿病的了解明显更多。数据还表明，设有糖尿病护理教育者的HHCA中的护士提供的患者护理标准明显高于没有糖尿病护理教育者的机构中的护士。
