Abstract

The role of the diabetes specialist nurse (DSN) has evolved since its inception over 70 years ago. Now, 1363 DSNs work in the UK, in various health care settings. The need to work within a culture of evidence-based practice and clinical and cost effectiveness, along with a perceived lack of evidence within diabetes specialist nursing, has prompted investigation into the role and efficacy of UK-based DSNs.

This review discusses the workforce demographics of DSNs employed in the UK, the evolving specialist nurse role and the clinical and cost effectiveness of specialist nursing. The DSNs' roles and workforce issues were assessed using existing surveys and reports. Clinical and cost effectiveness of DSNs were explored using a systematic literature review. This article is based on the Janet Kinson Lecture given at the 2010 Diabetes UK Annual Professional Conference in Liverpool, which gave an overview of specialist nursing, current literature supporting DSN practice and insights into challenges facing the profession in the current NHS culture of efficiency savings.

英国的糖尿病专科护理:判断电话?现有文献综述

糖尿病专科护士(DSN)的角色自70多年前成立以来一直在发展。现在，1363名dsn在英国不同的医疗机构工作。需要在循证实践、临床和成本效益的文化中工作，以及糖尿病专科护理中缺乏证据，促使人们对英国DSNs的作用和功效进行调查。这篇综述讨论了在英国雇用的dsn的劳动力人口统计，不断发展的专科护士角色和专科护理的临床和成本效益。使用现有的调查和报告评估了dsn的角色和劳动力问题。通过系统的文献回顾，探讨了DSNs的临床和成本效益。这篇文章是基于珍妮特·金森在利物浦举行的2010年英国糖尿病年度专业会议上的演讲，该演讲概述了专科护理，当前文献支持DSN的实践，并洞察了当前NHS文化中效率节约所面临的专业挑战。版权所有©2011中华生态科学研究院。John Wiley &出版;儿子,有限公司
