[Diabetes] Don't get lost in practice! Assessment is organized with "three pillars"

While diabetes can progress without symptoms, acute exacerbations such as dehydration and loss of consciousness may occur suddenly. If you get lost in the practice record, gathering information on the following three pillars will lead to a well-founded assessment.

1) Main symptoms and severity

Dry mouth / polydipsia, polyuria, weight loss, malaise, changes in vision, repeated infections, delayed wound healing

Test value (blood sugar, HbA1c, urinary sugar / urinary ketone), dehydration, consciousness, vitals

2) Effects of complications, sudden change signs, and treatment

・ Sudden changes: DKA / HHS, impaired consciousness, dehydration, nausea / vomiting, (in some cases) tachypnea, etc.

Chronic complications: retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, foot lesions

Effects of treatment: hypoglycemia (cold sweat, palpitations, tremor, dizziness, etc.), changes in diet / activity, medication adjustment

3) Psychology and Society = Ease of continuing self-management

・ Understanding the need for treatment, degree of administration / self-injection / diet therapy

・ Family support, work / economy, life rhythm, barriers to hospital attendance

If you write in this framework, it will be a record that can explain "why you observe it." The full text template of copy and paste OK is published in the profile note.

... Read more糖尿病の臨床でよく直面する課題のひとつは、多岐にわたる症状や検査結果をどのように整理し、実習でしっかりとアセスメントに活かしていくかという点です。私も看護実習中は、複雑な病態の情報の取り扱いに戸惑うことがありましたが、この記事で紹介されている「3本柱」の方法を知ってからは、大幅にスムーズになりました。 まず、主要症状と重症度を把握することは、患者さんの現状把握の根幹です。糖尿病の特徴である口渇、多飲、多尿に加えて、視力変化や感染症の繰り返し、創傷治癒の遅延など具体的な症状をリストアップして観察することは、病態の進行度合いを推測しやすくなります。実際の現場では、血糖値やHbA1cといった検査数値も必須ですが、数値だけに頼らず体調の変化を見逃さないことが重要です。 次に合併症や急変サインも見逃せません。急性増悪のDKA(糖尿病性ケトアシドーシス)やHHS(高血糖高浸透圧症候群)は命に関わるため、意識障害や脱水症状、頻呼吸のチェックが不可欠です。さらに、慢性的な合併症として腎症や網膜症、神経障害の有無も日々の評価に含めることで、患者さんの将来的なリスクに備えられます。また、低血糖の兆候に対する注意も必要で、これは服薬や食事、生活リズムと密接に関連しているため、看護実習での観察力が問われます。 最後に心理・社会面の評価の重要性も感じました。糖尿病は生活習慣病でもあるため、患者さん自身の治療理解度や自己管理の継続性が予後に直結します。私の経験では、家族支援の有無や仕事状況、経済的要因、通院の障壁などを丁寧に聞き取り、共感的な関わりを持つことで患者さんも安心して治療に取り組む姿勢が見えてきました。 この「3本柱」を軸にしたアセスメント記録は、単なる定型的な情報の羅列ではなく、なぜその項目を観察するのか根拠を持って説明できる強みがあります。特に看護学生の実習記録で自信をもって提出できる点も大きなメリットです。みなさんもぜひこの記事のフレームワークを活用して、糖尿病患者さんのケア実習に役立ててみてください。
