Tiivistelmä
Diabetes is one of the most serious chronic diseases in the world today, with 400 million
people living with the disease worldwide as of 2014. Type 2 diabetes has a strong life style
trigger of disease and among others, diet plays and important role in hypoglycemic balance.
However, not everyone with type 2 diabetes has the knowledge to rationalize their diet,
and this is where the role of the nurse becomes extremely important.
The aim of this study was to understand how nurses conduct health education on healthy
eating for patients with type 2 diabetes and how the nurse can educate type 2 diabetes patients to achieve a healthy nutrition.
This study was implemented as a literature review and the data for the literature review
was collected using two databases. Medline and Cinahl. A total of 21 articles were collected.
In total, 6 articles were selected for the review. Content analysis was used in the analysis
of the data. There were three main parts. Health education by nurses, patients' own conditions and healthy eating.
In the current situation in China, diabetic diet-related health education is not yet wide spread. Research into this avenue of health education on the dietary habits of type 2 diabetic patients, with the aim of patients becoming self-aware of their dietary control and
ultimately reducing their dependence on insulin or medication, is not yet well established
in the world of nursing. However, the prospects for related areas are positive.
