Setting standards in diabetes education

A Thompson et al. Nurs Stand. 1993 Jul.

Abstract

The project described in this article was undertaken to develop and improve the levels of nursing knowledge on diabetes mellitus and subsequently improve the quality of patient education on diabetes. A written standard on health education was devised and an educational programme for nurses was implemented to prepare nurses to meet the requirements of the standard. The project is ongoing, and initial results suggest that while there have been problems, nurses appear to be more confident in assuming their roles as patient educators.
