The effect evaluation of continuous nursing intervention in patients with type 2 diabetic retinopathy

Abstract

Introduction: To evaluate the application effect of continuous nursing intervention in type 2 diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Methods: Patients with type 2 DR were selected and divided into intervention group and control group by random. The control group received routine nursing intervention, and the intervention group received continuous nursing intervention on the basis of the control group. The clinical effects of the two groups were compared.

Results: After 1 and 2 years of intervention, the intervention group compared to the control group. The rate of visual acuity decrease was significantly lower (p < 0.05). Fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin were significantly lower (p < 0.05). The self-management ability and satisfaction were significantly higher, and the readmission rate was significantly lower (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: The continuous nursing intervention model has a good clinical effect on the visual acuity of patients with type 2 DR.
