Effect of blood glucose management mode based on hospital-community linkage network on the elderly patients with type 2 diabetes / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the application advantages of hospital-community linkage network blood glucose management model for elderly type 2 diabetes patients in community in order to supply reference for improve patients′ qualitye of life.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled study. A total of 84 elderly patients in Huangpu Community Hospital of Guangzhou from February to September 2022 were selected and divided into control group and intervention group by a table of random numbers. The control group adopted the hospital community linkage management model, and the intervention group followed the network management mode on the basis of the routine management. After 6 months of intervention, we compared the level of fasting blood glucose, blood glucose two hours after meal and glycosylated hemoglobin, and the scores of the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA), Diabetes Specificity Quality of Life Scale(DSQL) between the two groups to illustrate the application advantages.Results:There were no significant differences in blood glucose two hours after meal, fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin between the intervention and control groups (all P>0.05). After 6 months of intervention, the blood glucose two hours after meal, fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin of the intervention group were (9.25 ± 2.87) mmol/L, (6.07 ± 0.69) mmol/L and (7.04 ± 1.59) %, respectively, which were lower than those of the control group (11.04 ± 3.75) mmol/L, (6.57 ± 0.95) mmol/L and (8.02 ± 2.25)%. The differences were statistically significant ( t = 2.45, 2.76, 2.30, all P<0.05). After 6 months of intervention, the scores of SDSCA scale and DSQL scale were (34.21 ± 10.43) and (135.64 ± 10.71) points, which were higher than (29.12 ± 7.36) and (145.85 ± 10.33) points in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t = 2.58, 4.44, both P<0.05). Conclusions:The hospital-community linkage network management model can improve the blood glucose level of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the community and has a positive effect on improving self-management behavior ability and improving quality of life.
