3. INTRODUCTION
• Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic incurable disease of the metabolic
process when the pancreas is unable to produce insufficient insulin or
when the body doesn’t use the insulin produced which is characterized
by a high level of blood sugar which in a long run will damage the many-
body system’s if not controlled properly.
• The most common type among the three is Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
(T2DM) which is caused by obesity and a sedentary lifestyle mainly.
• WHO has taken up certain measures globally to prevent and control DM
particularly in middle and low-income countries such as the
development of norms and standards, awareness program, conducting
surveillance, and guidelines to prevent major non-communicable
diseases such as DM.

4. NEED FOR THE STUDY
• Every year the World Diabetes Day is observed on 12th November
focusing on a particular theme with an aim to spread the awareness of
diabetes among people due to the enormous increase of prevalence
rate globally.
• World Diabetes Day 2020 theme was “Nurse and Diabetes”. With the
world facing the global pandemic COVID-19, DM patients have a higher
risk of getting affected by the disease with an increased mortality rate
as well as having difficulty in accessing the health care facilities.
• A global survey report explained that 49% of all the countries have
experienced disruptions in carrying out DM services and it is also
estimated that 6% of the world population is affected by diabetes.
• With world diabetes statistics more than 420 million adults, 96 million
are from South-East Asia Region. (WHO, 2020).

9. contd:-
• Treatment compliance: In this study, it refers to determine treatment compliance
among the clients with T2DM by using nine modified items of the WHO adherence
scale for long-term therapies and eight modified items Morisky Medication
Adherence Scale (MMAS).
• Clinical outcomes: In this study, it refers to the find out the anthropometric
measurements: height, weight, and BMI-normal:18.5-25 kg/m2, Physiological
measurement: BP-normal: <120/80 mmHg and Bio- physiological measurement FBS-
normal: <100 mg/dl, among the clients with T2DM.

diagnosed to have T2DM by a qualified physician and admitted for further
management in the wards of AVMC&H, Puducherry.

outcomes and their selected demographic variables of T2DM between EG and CG.
EG
• There was an association between Pretest Knowledge Level with selected
Demographic Variable such as gender: female, marital status: married, type of
family: nuclear family, source of getting health information: family members
• There was an association b/w pretest Knowledge Level with selected Health Profile
such as no harmful habits
• There was an association b/w pretest Treatment Compliance with selected
Demographic Variables such as age
• There was an association b/w BMI and family monthly income, DBP and marital
status & type of family and FBS and family monthly income
• There was an association b/w BMI and food habits and FBS and food habits, any
harmful habits & any regular medication

CG
• There was an association b/w Pretest Treatment Compliance with
selected Health Profile such as use of any complementary and
alternative medicine
• There was an association b/w SBP and age & religion and DBP and
gender
• There was an association b/w BMI and any complementary and
alternative medicine SBP and any co-morbid conditions

DISCUSSION: Mokabel et al (2017) concluded that there was corroboration of
ameliorated knowledge of routine blood sugar checkups, dietary charts, exercise, and
lifestyle characteristics.
The stated research hypothesis (H2) was accepted.
27. CONCLUSION
• The prevalence of DM is high and it majorly affects the quality of life. Timely diagnosis
using clinical criteria and effective intervention is of utmost importance.
• The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of nursing interventions on
treatment compliance and clinical outcomes among clients with T2DM in a selected
hospital at Puducherry.
• The data revealed that the nursing interventions- IEP and demonstration of RE had
produced positive impact and found to be effective in improving the level of
knowledge and treatment compliance and clinical outcomes such as control blood
sugar and normal BP and BMI in the EG and less effectiveness was seen in BMI and BP.
• The study concluded that providing educative program will improve the knowledge of
both caregiver and the clients and also following a routine RE regularly at home also
will help in controlling the blood sugar levels, BP and ideal body weight and increase
the muscle strength as well.

28. RECOMMENDATIONS
• Diabetic education should be given periodically and a diary can
be maintained for ensuring client participations in health
education programme related to diabetes mellitus.
• Diabetes mellitus self-management education material tailored
to the educational level of clients should be available in the
clinics.
• Diabetes mellitus self-management education should be made
mandatory in hospitals.

29. IMPLICATIONS OF THE STUDY
Nursing Education
• Nursing education need to be strengthened to enable nursing students to know
about current knowledge on diabetes mellitus and utilize evidence based findings
(RE enhance good clinical outcomes), to promote treatment compliance among
clients with T2DM.
• Nursing curriculum should provide clinical experience regarding conduction of IEP in
various settings.
Nursing Practice
• Nurses play an important role in promotive, curative and preventive aspects of
health care system. Nurses should render IEP for T2DM clients in the hospital and
community.
• The nurses working in the hospital can provide health education and they can
conduct planned teaching apart from incidental teaching.

30. IMPLICATIONS OF THE STUDY contd:-
Nursing Administration
• The nurse administrators in the hospital can develop guidelines for conducting IEP for type 2 diabetes
mellitus clients and encourage practice of the guidelines by nurses in the hospital to improve the
compliance among clients with T2DM.
• Continuous quality assessment can be done by the hospital on the quality of health education
provided to the patients.
Nursing Research
• The findings of the study serve as a basis for the nursing professional and the students to conduct
further studies in different aspects of T2DM treatment like compliance, diet, exercise, foot-care, eye
care and self-administration of insulin.
• Knowledge, attitude and practice study on prevention of diabetes mellitus complications can be
done.
