Abstract
Objective: To explore and analyze the effect of humanistic nursing care on elderly type 2 diabetes patients. Methods: 100 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes who were treated in our hospital from May 2021–May 2023 were selected for this study. The patients were divided into an experimental group and a reference group by flipping a coin, with 50 cases in each group. The experimental group received humanistic nursing care, while the reference group received routine nursing care. The blood glucose level, compliance and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results: Before the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in pre-meal blood glucose, blood glucose 2 hours after eating, and glycosylated hemoglobin (P > 0.05). After the intervention, pre-meal blood glucose, blood glucose 2 hours after eating, and glycosylated hemoglobin in the humanities group were significantly better than those in the reference group (P < 0.05). Besides, before the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in compliance with diet, medication, examination, and exercise between the groups (P > 0.05). After the intervention, the compliance with diet, medication, examination, and exercise in the experimental group was significantly better than that of the reference group (P < 0.05). The patients in the experimental group were significantly more satisfied with the nursing care received than the reference group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Humanistic nursing care can reduce blood sugar in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, strengthen treatment compliance, and improve satisfaction.
