“…Contact nurse groups can be set up between various departments to undertake diabetes specialist nursing and guidance, and supervise the nursing quality of other nurses. On the other hand, the groups can actively participate in the communication between diabetes specialist nursing and other departments (Cabre et al, 2021 ), so as to standardize insulin injection training so that the overall behaviour of nurses may be improved.…”

Aim To understand the insulin injection knowledge, attitude and behaviour of nurses and their influencing factors in Guangdong Province. Design Cross‐sectional study. Methods A total of 19,853 nurses from 82 hospitals in 15 cities in Guangdong, China, participated in this study. The scores of the nurses' insulin injection knowledge, attitude and behaviour were determined through a questionnaire, and multivariate regression analysis was used to evaluate the influencing factors of insulin injection in different dimensions. STROBE. Results Among all nurses involved in this study, 22.3% of nurses had good knowledge, 75.9% of nurses had good attitude and 92.7% of nurses had good behaviour. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that knowledge, attitude scores and behaviour scores were significantly correlated. The influencing factors of knowledge, attitude and behaviour included gender, age, education, nurse level, work experience, type of ward, diabetes nursing certification, position held and most recent insulin administration.

“…These competencies include specialized care, health education, health administration, effective communication, nursing research and the personal traits indispensable to the nursing role (Xue et al, 2016). The extant national and international research on diabetes specialist nurses has focused on exploring the current status of and correlations among core competencies and work engagement (Yuan et al, 2021), career satisfaction (Qian et al, 2019), improvements in outcomes for people with diabetes as a result of diabetes specialist nurse-led care interventions (Cabré Font et al, 2021) and the experiences of diabetes specialist nurses who engage in conversations with adults with diabetes about their sexual health using a qualitative research methodology (Yin et al, 2023). However, few studies have described the core competencies of diabetes specialist nurses working in hospitals.…”

Aims and ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the current status of the core competencies and self‐directed learning ability of diabetes specialist nurses and to explore the relationship between these core competencies and their self‐directed learning ability.DesignA cross‐sectional survey design was used.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was conducted via a web‐based questionnaire platform in China from January 14 to April 24, 2023. The survey included a general information questionnaire, a diabetes specialist nurses' core competencies self‐assessment scale, and a nursing staff's self‐directed learning ability evaluation scale. The data was collected online. Descriptive, correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted using SPSS 26.0 software.Results118 diabetes specialist nurses from 11 cities participated in this study. A positive correlation was observed between the core competencies of diabetes specialist nurses and their self‐directed learning ability. The characteristics affecting the core competencies of diabetes specialist nurses included age, participation in external learning and communication and self‐directed learning.ConclusionsThe training of diabetes specialist nurses can focus on core competencies, and the ability to self‐direct learning can be used as an entry point to customize feasible theoretical and practical courses. The training system can further improve diabetes specialist nurses' core competencies and self‐directed learning abilities.Relevance to Clinical PracticeA reference can be established that nursing managers and nursing educators can use to develop training programs for specialist nurses by validating the link between their core competencies and self‐directed learning skills.Patient or Public ContributionParticipants were involved solely in the data collection process. No participant contributions were required for the study's design, outcome measurement or implementation.

“…Patients are educated by DSNs on ways to prevent complications in this phase of chronic disease, thus minimizing the burden on healthcare systems. DSNs are also implicated in coordinating any ongoing care of patients, counseling patients, and providing advice on medication and management of inter-current disease [ 15 – 17 ]. DSNs work in both primary and secondary care.…”

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is regarded as one of the most critical public health challenges of the 21st century. It has evolved into a burgeoning epidemic since the last century, and today ranks among the major causes of mortality worldwide. Diabetes specialist nurses (DSNs) are central to good patient care and outcomes including confident self-care management. Evidence shows that DSNs are cost-effective, improve clinical outcomes, and reduce length of stay in hospital. In this brief narrative review, we aim to describe the roles of DSNs and their contribution in the treatment and management of patients with DM. This narrative review describes the importance of DSNs in healthcare practice, in the inpatient and outpatient departments, in the pediatrics department, in managing diabetic foot ulcers, in the treatment and management of gestational diabetes, in prescribing medications for DM and in diabetes self-management education on glycosylated hemoglobin, and cardiovascular risk factors. To conclude, DSNs have a crucial role in the treatment and management of patients with DM and its complications. DSNs have a great impact on diabetes therapy, and hence implementation of DSNs and nurse-led diabetic clinics might be beneficial for the health care system. Finally, having DSNs might significantly contribute to good healthcare practice and support. Even though DSNs are not available in several regions around the globe, and even though this post is still new to several health care institutions, the presence of DSNs recognized and certified by the various healthcare systems would be very useful.
