Abstract
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the most common complication for men with diabetes, and is under-recognized and undertreated. Up to one-third of newly diagnosed men with diabetes have ED at presentation, with 50% of men developing ED within 6 years of their initial diagnosis. ED can have a devastating multidimensional impact on men's lives and decrease quality of life. Despite the important role of diabetes nurse educators (DNE) in supporting their clients' diverse psychosocial needs, research suggests that they fail to address this complication 80% of the time. Among healthcare providers, a lack of awareness, knowledge, comfort and self-efficacy in addressing ED are well-documented barriers to offering clients education and treatment support.
