Perceived and Actual Level of Knowledge of Diabetes Mellitus Among Nurses

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to survey staff nurses on their perceived and actual level of knowledge of diabetes mellitus. A convenience sample of 184 professional staff nurses from both inpatient and outpatient settings of a large research-teaching hospital was surveyed. The Diabetes Self-Report Tool (Cronbach's alpha = .91) was used to assess staff nurses' perceptions of knowledge of diabetes mellitus.

“…A 1983 report of a randomized trial comparing group and individual nutritional counseling exemplified this, using objective measures of metabolic outcomes and changes in body weight to evaluate differences between the two approaches (18). As more emphasis was placed on patient self-management, the journal also published criteria for validating tests of patients' knowledge (19) and an assessment of diabetes-related knowledge among the nurses charged with their care and education (20). Meanwhile, readers were kept well informed on advances in basic science through reviews on topics such as C-peptide (21) and the pathophysiology of insulin secretion (22).…”

“…Several studies have been carried out in other countries aimed at ascertaining nurses' knowledge of diabetes and its complications (Scheiderich et al 1983, Drass et al 1989, Burden & Burden 1993, Livingston & Dunning 2010, Yacoub et al 2014, Alotaibi et al 2017. These studies were always carried out on selected groups and sometimes with only few respondents (137 nurses in the study by Scheiderich et al 1983; 184 nurses in the study by Drass et al 1989; 21 nurses in the study by Livingston& Dunning 2010, 277 registered nurses in the study Yacoub et al 2014, 423 nurses in study Alotaibi et al 2017 etc.…”
