Nurse’s Role in Caring Cognitive Impairment in Persons with Diabetes Mellitus
Keywords:
Nurse’ s role, Cognitive impairment, Diabetes mellitusAbstract
Diabetes mellitus is a significant global health problem that impacts various vital organs, including the brain, eyes, heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and nervous system. Among these, the often-overlooked effects on brain function, particularly cognitive impairment, lead to a decline in the ability to think, analyze, and remember, as well as a reduction in self-management skills. This includes challenges such as controlling blood sugar levels, adhering to prescribed medication, monitoring symptoms, and making essential lifestyle adjustments required to manage the disease effectively. Consequently, the disease may progress more severely, leading to serious complications and potentially resulting in a state of dependency. This article reviews knowledge of cognitive impairment in diabetic patients to assist nurses in screening cognitive function and diagnosing impairment accurately and promptly. It also provides evidence-based nursing practices to validate the illness, monitor patients, and develop care plans to sustain a good quality of life.
