Introduction. The key for a successful therapy of the diabetes is patients' education, aiming at optimisation of the patient's quality of life and preparation for self-care. A nurse actively participates in that process.
The thesis aims at analysing tasks performed by nurses in preparation of seniors suffering from diabetes for self-care in the context of behaviour, they present in the course of the disease.
Materials and methods. The research was conducted in 2011 on a group of 60 persons at the age ≥65. The method of diagnostic sound with the use of a questionnaire was applied. The statistical analysis was used to check, if there were any differences or correlations between behaviour of seniors with diabetes in the field of self-care and their gender, age, place of residence, and education. The statistically significant results of the performed tests were those results, in which co-efficient p < 0.05.
Results. Age and education of the surveyed had a considerable influence on the scope of preparation of elder persons for care in the course of the disease. Majority of respondents pointed to the nurse and the doctor as the professionals who run activities in the field of diabetes education.
Conclusions. The nurse, who prepares a senior for self-care in the course of diabetes, shall include a number of factors, which will optimise the quality of the patient's life in the course of the disease, in her program of therapeutic education.
