“…The majority of nurses believed that the organization played an important role in improving nurses' knowledge of diabetes care by organizing workshops and seminars. Managers' support for nurses to participate in continuing diabetes education and training was perceived as a priority [35]. Past studies have shown that educational programs are effective in helping nurses bridge gaps between their knowledge and skills [22].…”

“…The second part has nine survey questions to assess nurses' perceived knowledgeability and role about provision of diabetes nutrition education [32]. In the third part, seven survey questions were included to assess the extent to which nurses' organizations had supported them in their efforts to enhance their knowledge about diabetes nutrition [35]. As well, background questions, such as age, gender, and years of experience were asked.…”

Aim: This study aimed to: (1) to investigate PHC nurses’ level of diabetes-related nutrition knowledge; (2) to assess PHC nurses’ perception about knowledgeability and role in provision of diabetes nutrition education; (3) to explore the relationship between nurses’ diabetes-related nutrition knowledge with nurses’ background and organizational support.Background: Diabetes is a prevalent global health issue that can be diagnosed and managed in primary health care (PHC). Nurses are the largest number of health care providers who work with diabetic patients to manage its complications. One of significant diabetes management components is nutrition. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional, correlational study with 163 PHC nurses in Jazan, Saudi Arabia was conducted. Self-administered survey was used with each nurse two times for test-retest reliability. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlational test. Results: Nurses had limited diabetes-related nutrition knowledge with a mean score of 11.65 out of 20, yet the majority perceived themselves competent and responsible in provision nutrition education to diabetic patients. The availability of time to attend courses and read about diabetes nutrition, and being informed about time and venue programmers of diabetes diet were positively correlated with nurses’ diabetes-related nutrition knowledge.Conclusion: The study highlighted the need to improve the education of PHC nurses in the field of diabetes nutrition, in particular the majority of PHC nurses regarded themselves as responsible for the nutrition education of diabetic patients. As well, organizational factors, such as availability of time and support, should be considered to enhance nurses’ knowledge.

“…Nurses’ “lack of knowledge” of diabetes care has been well documented in the literature in previous studies, and our findings add to the evidence. Furthermore, numerous studies have been conducted to identify what factors influence nurses' knowledge acquisition for diabetes care (Alotaibi et al, 2018; Eaton‐Spiva & Day, 2011; Hollis et al., 2014). Despite the plethora of repeated evidence of the nurses' lack of knowledge and the risk for patients’ outcome, nothing was found in the literature about initiatives or developments announced by professional bodies regarding how to tackle this issue.…”

Aim The aim and objective of this study was to understand how non‐specialized nurses understand the possible barriers and facilitators of inpatient care for type 1 diabetes. Design An interpretative phenomenology approach was conducted. Methods The sample consisted of non‐specialized nurses ( N = 24) working in medical, surgical and nephrology wards in the state hospitals in Cyprus. The data were collected during 2016‐2018 from one focus group with nurses ( N = 6) and individual semi‐structured interviews with nurses ( N = 18) conducted. The Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist used to ensure the quality of the study. Results It is evident from the study findings that nurses experience several barriers in diabetes inpatient care reported which are of great concern since this could have adverse effects on patients' outcomes. Only one facilitator has been reported by few nurses.

“…Nurses play an essential role in educating patients with diabetes on emotion management (Alotaibi et al, 2018). Before nurses could develop any specific interventions to relieve diabetes distress, it is critical to explore factors associating with diabetes distress among this population.…”

Aims: To describe the specific domains of diabetes distress and factors associated with these domains.Background: Diabetes distress is a common problem but not well recognised in adolescents by healthcare providers or adolescents themselves. There is insufficient evidence on how specific domains of diabetes distress exist in adolescents, making it challenging to select precise components to alleviate diabetes stress.Design: A quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study.Methods: Data were collected on socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, diabetes distress, perceived stress, self-efficacy and diabetes self-management using established questionnaires. Multivariate linear regression was conducted to examine the associations between specific factors and four domains in diabetes distress. STROBE checklist was used as the guideline for this study.Results: A total of 100 adolescents with type 1 diabetes aged 12 to 18 years participated in this study. Adolescents experienced the highest levels of distress in the regimen-related distress [2.41 (SD =0.82)] and physician-related distress [2.40 (SD =0.80)] domains. Older age, female gender, more diabetes problem-solving and higher levels of perceived stress were associated with higher regimen-related distress (β = 0.21 ~ 0.45, p < 0.05). Older age, female gender, a lower degree of endorsement of relevant diabetes-related goals and higher levels of perceived stress were associated with higher physician-related distress (β = −0.29 ~ 0.34, p < 0.05). Conclusions:Diabetes distress was reported more on regimen-related and physician-related domains among adolescents with type 1 diabetes in China, associating with older age, female, increased perceived stress and poor diabetes-related problem-solving.Relevance to clinical practice: Nurses need to screen the specific domains of diabetes distress among adolescents with type 1 diabetes, especially for the older adolescents and girls. This study highlighted the importance of incorporating diabetes-related problem-solving support and stress management strategies into diabetes management for adolescents with type 1 diabetes, which could help relieve diabetes distress.
