Implementación de programa educativo sobre prevención de diabetes mellitus tipo II dirigido a los estudiantes auxiliares de enfermería de Consulting Group Ecuador-Riobamba, 2019

Abstract

The implementation of an education program for preventing type II Diabetes Mellitus was conducted in the auxiliary nursing students of Consulting Group Ecuador-Riobamba, 2019. The research was carried out on a population of 30 auxiliary nursing students, between the ages of 17 and 35 years, during the period July - September 2019. Socio-demographic and quasi-experimental studies were applied to the entire study population, and prevention education program was subsequently developed, in which the factors causing type II diabetes mellitus were evaluated. According to the results obtained, 27 students have a total lack of knowledge about the subject, 23% of people know the factors that cause the disease, 37% of people do not know the effects they can cause on the person suffering from the disease, 30% of people know procedures that help them in coping with the disease. From the study, it is concluded that no health education programs have been developed to provide information to Consulting Group Riobamba students regarding type II diabetes. It is recommended that each educational institution should have a medical record, in which the entire medical history of each student is embodied or in turn, have some corrective measures that may be of vital importance to safeguard and protect students.
