Development of the “Waiting-Nursing” Practice Model : Focusing on People Living with Diabetes

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop the “Waiting-Nursing” Practice Model with a focus on people living with diabetes.
Method: As for the method of model development, the initial model was created by fieldwork, and then the model was refined by expert meetings.
Results: As a result, a nursing model for people living with diabetes consisting of phases 1 to 4, which shows the interaction between people living with diabetes and nurses, was derived. The central concept consisting of categories obtained from fieldwork is shown in «», and the common theme extracted from the central concept is shown in [ ].
The first phase of the model was defined as «interest in and access to a close person». The second phase was defined as «relationship-based Dynamic Waiting-Nursing». The third phase was defined as «recognize each other as a growing person». The 4th phase was defined as «facing the same direction with patients and nurses».
As a result, Waiting-Nursing brings «harmony between medical treatment and life.» Waiting-Nursing has an impact on the surrounding environment. It was suggested that Waiting-Nursing has [harmony] as a common theme, and that it is a model for weaving [harmony].
Discussion: Waiting nursing brings growth to both people living with diabetes and nurses. In order to promote waiting nursing, it is important to create an environment surrounding waiting nursing. This model shows nursing that supports living in a person’s own way while weaving “harmony” that arises from the interaction between people living with diabetes and nurses.
