Clinical study of the health education pathway for patients with malignant tumors complicated with diabetes mellitus
Objective To explore the application of health education in patients with malignant tumor and diabetes.Methods From April 2021 to March 2023,216 patients with malignant tumor and diabetes in hospital were selected.Among them,100 patients admitted to our hospital from April 2021 to March 2022 were selected as a control group,and 116 patients admitted from April 2022 to March 2023 were selected as an intervention group.The control group received routine care.The intervention group was combined with the health education roadmap based on the control group.Diabetes self-control and obstruction questionnaire(PDQ)was used for evaluation and analysis.The admission and discharge of fasting blood glucose,2-hour postprandial blood glucose,body weight and patient's self-management behavior at admission,discharge,and one month after discharge were compared between the two groups.Results The self-control behavior of both groups was improved at discharge and after one month of discharge.However,dietary knowledge and skills and dietary decision-making of PDQ scoring in the intervention group was much higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Dietary issues and disorders in diet,exercise,and blood glucose monitoring of PDQ score in the intervention group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).At discharge,there was no significant decrease in the body weight in the in-tervention group but the control group had significant weight loss(P<0.05).The fasting and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose levels of both groups of patients met the standard,and the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusions The patients with diabetes complicated with malignant tumor achieved good results after implementing health education.It significantly improves their self-management behavior.It also plays an important role in stabilizing their weight during the treatment of cancer.This is an effective intervention method and worthy of clinical promotion.
