About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Implementing Nursing Care Plans Based on Scientific Methodology in Improving Metabolic and Blood Pressure Control of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients.

Background: Nurses in clinical practice implement care to patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) in order to maintain normal blood glucose readings, promote weight loss and provide nutrition counseling to improve metabolic and blood pressure control. Because many disciplines contribute to patient's health outcomes, it is important to distinguish how nurses contribute to patient care and the achievement of health outcomes and the differences between the use or not the classification of Nursing Diagnoses, and the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) in clinical practice settings.

Methods: Prospective observational study with 2-year follow-up to assess the effect of Nursing Care Plans based on Scientific Methodology (NCPSM) on changing the control parameters in routine clinical practice conditions.

Settings: 31 Primary care centers in northeastern urban area of Madrid (Spain). Subjects: 24,124 DM2 patients (full universe).

Read the detailed description

The computerized clinical record system (CCR) form for primary care of the Madrid Health Service was used as the data source. NCPSM was identified by clinical records of NANDA and NIC nursing taxonomies, and were defined as nursing care based on the following three criteria:

Criterion 1.- A patient's CCR must register valuation data based on Marjory Gordon "functional pattern" in at least the following areas:

  • Health perception
  • Nutritional-metabolic
  • Activity-exercise. Criterion 2.- The problems identified and the proper management of treatment will be described using coded diagnoses with NANDA.

Criterion 3.- The nursing interventions carried out by standardized language will be registered according to the NIC taxonomy.

Eligibility criteria for patients were: older than 30 years of age, with previously diagnosed diabetes (cardinal clinical, plus random blood glucose >200 mg/dl or oral glucose of >200 mg/dl at 2 h, twice, or plasma fasting glucose of >126 mg/dl on two occasions or being diagnosed previously, received specific treatment for diabetes) and exclusion criteria were: gestational diabetes, patients involved in clinical trials, patients with life expectancy of less than one year (according to clinical judgment), homebound patients.

The primary outcome was HbA1c, lipid levels, blood pressure, and BMI after 24 and 48 months of follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Cardiovascular Risk Factors, run by Hospital Carlos III, Madrid at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

HbA1c level (time frame: Final (before 4 years follow-up)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01482481, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Nov 2011.
