Blood pressure strongly predicts microalbuminuria and later progression to renal failure in people with diabetes. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring seems to be superior to office blood pressure in predicting progression to microalbuminuria in type 1 diabetes. The associations of ambulatory blood pressure with office blood pressure and microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes remain unclear. We st...

本研究の目的は，糖尿病看護に携わる看護師が抱く，患者と看護師の関係に対する思いとコントロール不良な糖尿病患者に対する思いを明らかにし，その関係を探索することである。看護師10名を対象に半構成的面接を実施し，質的帰納的に分析した。患者と看護の関係に対する思いは5つ，コントロール不良な糖尿病患者に対する思いが6つ抽出された。看護師が，患者と看護師との関係に対して【看護師の指導を受け入れて欲しい】【自分が傷つく患者には関わりたくない】【患者や医療者から看護師としての自分を評価されたい】という思いを抱いていると，コントロール不良な糖尿病患者へ【糖尿病はコントロールできる】や【病状悪化は患者の責任】【コントロール不良な患者への看護は虚しい】という思いを抱いていた。また【患者を尊重したい】や【真摯な姿勢は患者に伝わる】という思いを抱いていると，コントロール不良な患者に対して【良い方向へ変化して欲...
