目的 了解老年糖尿病患者血糖自我监测和社会支持现状,并探讨两者之间的相关性。方法 采用血糖自我监测行为量表和社会支持量表对172例老年糖尿病患者进行调查。结果 172例糖尿病患者中,以男性居多占59.9%,教育程度以初中及以下居多占64.0%。老年糖尿病患者血糖自我监测行为得分为(27.37±8.53)分；社会支持行为得分为(33.17±6.53)分；老年糖尿病患者血糖自我监测行为与社会支持呈正相关(r＝0.46,P＜0.05)。结论 老年糖尿病患者血糖自我监测行为和社会支持均处于中等水平,且呈正相关关系,医护人员应给与个体化干预,以提高患者社会支持水平,从而改善其血糖自我监测行为,达到有效控制血糖,提高患者生活质量的目的。

Association between blood glucose self-monitoring behavior and social support in elderly patients with diabetes

Objective To know about the condition of blood glucose self-monitoring behavior and social support in elderly patients with diabetes,and to analyze the correlation between them. Methods We used the Diabetes Self-monitoring Behavior of Blood Glucose Scale and the Social Support Scale to make a research inquiry on 172 elderly patients with diabetes. Results Male accounted for 59.9% of the 172 diabetes patients.64.0% of the cases had an education degree of junior middle school and below.The mean score of the behavior of blood glucose self-monitoring was 27.37±8.53 and the mean score of the social support was 33.17±6.53.There was a positive correlation between the behavior of blood glucose self-monitoring and social support in elderly patients with diabetes (r=0.46,P＜0.05). Conclusion The behavior of blood glucose self-monitoring and social support in the elderly patients with diabetes is at a moderate level,and there is a positive correlation between them.Helping elderly patients to establish an effective social support network could improve their self-monitoring of blood glucose level.Medical staffs should provide individual intervention to improve the level of social support of patients,so as to improve their blood glucose monitoring behavior and to achieve effective control of blood glucose,eventually improve the quality of life of patients.
