Application effect of "teaching based on learning" diet and nutrition education in the perioperative nursing of diabetes patients in orthopaedics

Abstract

Objective To investigate the application effect of teaching based on learning diet and nutrition education in the perioperative nursing of diabetes patients in orthopaedics. Methods A total of 60 patients in the orthopedics department were selected as the research object, and were divided into the control group (30 cases) and the intervention group (30 cases) according to admission time. Patients in both groups received routine diabetes education, and patients in the intervention group received additional teaching based on learning diet and nutrition education on the basis of routine education. The level of knowledge on diabetes, fasting blood glucose and 2 h postprandial blood glucose were compared in the two groups before and after intervention. Results Before intervention, there was no statistical significance in the knowledge score of diabetes, the levels of fasting blood glucose and 2 h postprandial blood glucose between two groups (P>0.05) . After intervention, the knowledge score of diabetes was (18.83±0.66) in the control group and was (21.66±0.40) in the intervention group. The knowledge score in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group after intervention (P<0.05) . After intervention, the levels of fasting blood glucose and 2 h postprandial blood glucose were (7.28±0.29) mmol/L and (10.57±0.52) mmol/L in the control group, and they were (6.18±0.18) mmol/L and (8.76±0.38) mmol/L in the intervention group. Compared with the control group, the levels of fasting blood glucose and 2 h postprandial blood glucose in the intervention group were lower after intervention (P<0.05) . Conclusions The application of teaching based on learning diet and nutrition education during perioperative period in patients with diabetes stimulates patients themselves to discover, research and explore the knowledge of diabetes, and improves educational compliance. Additionally, this education model can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of patients in dietary therapy, and achieve the aim of dietary therapy.
