Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a blood glucose control protocol for medical intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Methods: The blood glucose control protocol was developed through the following process: selection of preliminary protocols, clinical application, and evaluation. The clinical validity of the protocol was measured by application, along with examination of the effects of the Yale and the Mayo blood glucose protocols. Seventeen medical ICU adults patients whose blood glucose levels exceeded 200 mg/dL consecutively participated in the study. The development protocol was evaluated by an expert group. Results: Incidence of normal blood glucose levels (p=.041) increased significantly in the Yale protocol application group. Also, incidence of severe hyperglycemia (p=.029) decreased significantly and time to target range of glucose (p=.023) decreased significantly after application of the Yale protocol. However, there was no significant difference in incidence of hypoglycemia (p=.666) between three groups. Conclusion: Using the developed protocol as a basis for the modified Yale protocol was found to be effective in improving the state of blood glucose control for medical ICU patients and is expected to be used for nursing intervention in critical care.

Purpose: The study sought to determine the state of blood glucose control, and the consequent clinical effects and variation in blood glucose level, of adult patients admitted to intensive care units following cardiothoracic surgery by comparing the blood glucose levels before and after the application of a blood glucose control protocol. Methods: The protocol was developed by modifying and supplementing the Yale protocol, and was first used in 2012. The resulting blood glucose data of an experimental group (n = 314), to which the blood glucose control protocol had been applied, and a control group (n = 347), whose blood glucose levels had been controlled according to physicians'prescriptions without the protocol, were collected through the medical records. Results: The target blood glucose ratio increased significantly in the experimental group, and the low blood glucose ratio decreased significantly in the experimental group. The two groups exhibited a significant difference (p < .001) in the degree of variation in the blood glucose levels. The duration of the use of a ventilator was significantly reduced in the experimental group (p < .001). Conclusion: It is expected that the protocol can be used for the safe and effective control of critically ill cardiothoracic surgery patients' blood glucose levels.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a blood glucose control protocol for medical intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Methods: The subjects were recruited from medical ICU adult patients whose blood glucose levels exceeded 200 mg/dL in two consecutive tests. The experimental group (n=62) received the modified Yale (MY) insulin protocol, whereas the control group (n=64) was treated with the conventional insulin therapy methods. Results: In the experimental group, the mean blood glucose levels (p<.001) and the time to reach the target range of glucose (p<.001) decreased significantly while the incidence rates of a target range of glucose of 100-140 mg/dL (p<.001) increased significantly as compared to the control group. However, no statistically significant differences were found in the incidence of hypoglycemia(p=.644), or the number of glucose tests (p=.236) between the groups. The length of stays in the ICU (p=.001), ventilator care days (p=.038), and the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score (p=.029) in the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group. Conclusion: Application of the protocol was effective in improving the state of blood glucose control in medical ICU patients. Therefore, this protocol is expected to be used as a part of nursing intervention in critical care nursing.

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 메타분석을 이용하여 2000년 이후 국내외 당뇨병을 가진 성인을 대상으로 수행된 인터넷 기반 중재 프로그램의 효과를 검증하고 실무 적용의 타당성을 확인하기 위함이다. 방법: 2000년 1월부터 2015년 12월까지 시행된 연구 중 국내외 학술지에 게재된 연구 논문을 대상으로 체계적 검토를 시행하였으며, 이중 분석 대상 기준에 적합한 최종 9편의 논문을 선정하였다. 자료 분석은 Internet-based Intervention의 실험군과 대조군에 따른 효과성을 파악하기 위하여 오픈 소스 통계 소프트웨어인 R 3.5.0을 사용하여 분석하였다. 결과: 분석 결과 성인 당뇨 환자의 HbA1c 조절을 위한 인터넷 기반 중재 프로그램의 효과 크기에 관한 연구는 국외 8편, 국내 1편이었다. 연구에 사용된 중재는 Internet-based Management가 7편(77.8%)으로 가장 많았고, Internet-based Education이 2편(22.2%)이었으며, 중재 프로그램 적용기간은 6개월이 4편(33.4%)으로 가장 많았다. 선행연구와의 중재 효과 비교에서는 모바일 전용 중재에서의 HbA1c 조절에 대한 가중평균 차이(WMD -0.20%, 95% CI: -0.43-0.03; p = 0.09)의 효과는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았으며, 모바일과 인터넷을 기반으로 한 중재를 통합했을 경우 가중평균 차이(WMD 0.54%, 95% CI: 0.72-0.37; p< 0.001)의 효과를 나타냈다. 본 연구의 메타분석 결과에서도 인터넷을 기반으로 한 중재활동에서 통계적으로 유의한 효과를 보였다. 중재기간에 따른 효과 크기 분석 결과에서는 약 89%인 8편에서 3개월, 6개월, 12개월 모두 인터넷을 기반으로 한 중재활동 시행 시, 실험군에서 높은 효과를 보였으나, 중재 지속 기간의 증가에 따라 중재 효과는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 결론: 본 연구의 결과에서는 인터넷 기반 중재 프로그램의 효과를 확인할 수 있었으며, 이는 인터넷을 기반으로 한 중재활동이 성인의 대표적 만성질환인 당뇨관리를 위한 HbA1c 및 혈당조절에 효과적임을 의미한다. 이와 함께 만성질환인 당뇨의 꾸준한 관리를 위한 인터넷 중재 프로그램의 활용 방안에 대한 연구와 중재활동의 구체적인 지침, 프로토콜 수립의 필요성이 제기된다.
