Tiivistelmä
Point-of-care (POC) testing is a rapid medical diagnostic test conducted at the patient's bedside instead of in a laboratory. Point-of-care glucometers are still commonly used to analyse blood glucose levels in healthcare settings. Monitoring blood glucose is a crucial aspect of diabetes management, and using a glucometer enables timely adjustments to treatment plans. This thesis is essential for nursing students as it emphasizes the importance of accurately monitoring blood glucose levels using a glucometer.
The purpose of this project thesis was to produce educational material using a PowerPoint presentation focusing on capillary blood glucose measurement as a point-of-care test guide for nursing students at SAMK. The objective of this thesis was to enhance nursing student’s skills in monitoring the blood glucose of a patient. The cooperation partner for this project is SAMK. The educational material product was developed using a relevant theoretical framework supported by credible evidence-based sources.
The authors included in the PowerPoint presentation helpful visuals, such as pictures that accurately demonstrate how to measure blood glucose levels using a glucometer. The PowerPoint presentation is high quality, encompassing all essential details and images.
The Waterfall method was employed as the project management approach for this thesis. This linear and sequential method proved advantageous in project management. The thesis and its accompanying product fulfilled the requirements of the studies at SAMK. The supervisors and lecturers involved in the thesis thoroughly evaluated the product and expressed satisfaction.
