Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with a growing prevalence worldwide, requiring lifelong monitoring and care. The presence of acute and chronic complications, comorbidities, and difficulties adapting to disease treatment and self-care are some of the factors that can affect a diabetic patient's functionality, well-being, and quality of life. Seven core behaviors related to self-care management are essential for preventing diabetes complications and improving the course of the disease: diet, physical activity, blood sugar monitoring, treatment adherence, effective problem-solving, coping skills, and risk reduction behaviors. The supportive role of the nurse should be considered holistically in diabetes management. Education, self-management, psychosocial support, and individualized care are dynamic components that complement each other rather than being implemented in isolation. Education provides patients with the necessary information, self-management skills translate learned knowledge into behavior, psychosocial support strengthens the sustainability of behavior, and individualized care provides integrity.

Özet

Diyabetes Mellitus, tüm dünyada prevalansı giderek artan, yaşam boyu izlem ve bakım gerektiren kronik bir hastalıktır. Diabetes Mellituslu bireylerde akut ve kronik komplikasyonların varlığı, eşlik eden diğer hastalıklar, kişinin hastalığın tedavisine ve öz bakımına uyum sağlamasındadaki zorluklar, diyabet hastasının işlevselliğini, refahını ve yaşam kalitesini etkileyebilecek faktörlerden bazılarıdır. Diyabetin komplikasyonlarını önlemek ve hastalığın seyrini iyileştirmek için öz bakım yönetimiyle ilgili yedi temel davranış vardır; bunlar diyet, fiziksel aktivite, kan şekeri seviyelerinin izlenmesi, tedaviye uyum, iyi problem çözme, başa çıkma becerileri ve risk azaltma davranışıdır. Hemşirenin destekleyici rolü diyabet yönetiminde bir bütün olarak ele alınmalıdır. Eğitim, özyönetim, psikososyal destek ve bireyselleştirilmiş bakım gibi roller tek başına uygulanmaktan ziyade birbirini tamamlayan dinamik bileşenlerdir. Eğitim hastalara gerekli bilgiyi sağlar, özyönetim becerisi öğrenilen bilgiyi davranışa dönüştürür, psikososyal destek davranışın sürdürülebilirliğini güçlendirir ve bireyselleştirilmiş bakım bütünlüğü sağlar.
