Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the effects of home visiting care program provided by public health center in control of blood sugar for patients with diabetes mellitus who were cared for at home. Method: The subjects were 50 randomly selected diabetics registered at S-Gu Public Health Center. The program comprised in-person education and home visitations; and telephone contact to educate, monitor diet, exercise, blood sugar, and provide consultation. The control group was provided home visitation by only home calls nurses. The program ran from July 7. 2008 to September 12. 2008. Result: After the program, glycated hemoglobin was decreased in the experimental and control groups; the difference in those receiving home care was not statistically significant. Changes on blood cholesterol in experimental group and control groups were not statistically different. Self-efficacy and self-care performance were increased in those receiving home care. Conclusion: While not statistically significant in this small-scale study, home care for diabetes mellitus patients may promote an increased patient responsibility for self-care that is important in their long-term health.
