Resumen
ESPINOZA-CASTELLANO, Tania Patricia; DIAS-LEDESMA, Stefanny Karolina; SACOTO-GARCIA, Jaqueline Patricia y PEREZ-UCHUARI, Paola Elizabeth. Nursing intervention to strengthen the self-care of diabetic patients at the Basic Hospital Guaranda, Ecuador. Salud y Vida [online]. 2026, vol.10, n.19, pp.117-131. Epub 10-Jun-2026. ISSN 2610-8038. https://doi.org/10.35381/s.v.v10i19.4931.
Objective:
To assess self-care among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus attended in the Outpatient Clinic of Hospital Básico IESS‑Guaranda in 2024 and to design an educational plan to strengthen self-care practices.
Method:
Direct observation and administration of questionnaires to patients and nursing staff within the CAPSTONE methodology; these inputs were used to diagnose the situation and to develop an educational program and a training plan for the team.
Results:
The assessment revealed insufficient patient education, time constraints among staff, and low adherence to recommendations; in response, training for nursing staff and a patient‑directed program were proposed.
Conclusion:
An educational intervention is necessary to improve self‑care and reduce diabetes‑related complications; follow‑up is recommended to sustain the effects.
