Today, self-management education is a critical part of the medical plan for people with diabetes. The purpose of this study was to examine the five domains of continuing education needs of currently practicing nurses toward the self-care management of patients with type 2 diabetes. The author identified significant differences between direct care practitioners and educators in four domains: assessment skills, knowledge area, attitudes and values, and barriers. It is important for educators to understand the learning needs of direct care practitioners in order to provide appropriate education.
