Depression increases the risk of diabetes mellitus type 2 development and the subsequent risks of hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, micro- and macro-vascular complications. The association between depression and diabetes mellitus type 2 may include autonomic and neurohormonal dysregulation, weight gain, inflammation, and structural changes in the hippocampus. Objective of the work. To evaluate the psychological status and quality of life indicators in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and chronic gastritis before and after the treatment with the use of medicine Magnicum-Antistress. Materials and methods. Based on the Endocrinology Department of the Transcarpathia Regional Clinical hospital named after A.Novak there were examined 40 patients, whose average age was to 53.7±4.1 years.  All patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and chronic gastritis were assessed for quality of life, psychological status, and stress levels using questionnaires, namely using the SF-36, “PSM-25 Psychological Stress Scale methodology”, Holmes and Rahe stress test. After the survey, all patients were treated with Magnicum-Antistress medicine on the background of pathogenetic treatment. Results. Thus, after the course of treatment during 1 month, the level of stress decreased, so in the male patients the high level of stress was observed in 58.3% of patients, and among female patients – 35.8%. Also, the level of stress-resistance increased, so in male patients, the low stress-resistance level was observed in 66.7% of patients, and among female patients – 25%. After the course of treatment according to the Quality of Life Assessment Scale (SF-36), patients showed a positive tendency in the indicators of the psychological and physical health components. Conclusions. The level of chronic stress in patients with DM type 2 and CG is mostly high (52.5%). The level of stress-resistance in the vast majority of patients with DM type 2 and CG is low (52.5%). Complex therapy with the use of the medicine Magnicum-Antistress in patients with DM type 2 and CG is pathogenetically justified, and also leads to an improvement in the quality of life and stress-resistance in these patients.

The sample in this study are patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 who came controls on poli Amelia Pare Hospital in September 2016. The analysis performed in this study using Spearman Rank Correlation. Obtained value of Rho = 0.33 which indicates the level of relationship is. Statistical test value t = 7.23 is greater than t table = 2.457, then H₁ acceptable and it can be concluded that there is a relationship between diabetes self-management and quality of life mellitus type 2 diabetes patients with a degree of closeness of the relationship that is being nurses in providing nursing care also pay attention to the patient's needs will be perceptions about the treatment.

Abstract Background A new organisation at the primary level, called model practices, introduces a 0.5 full-time equivalent nurse practitioner as a regular member of the team. Nurse practitioners are in charge of registers of chronic patients, and implement an active approach into medical care. Selected quality indicators define the quality of management. The majority of studies confirm the effectiveness of the extended team in the quality of care, which is similar or improved when compared to care performed by the physician alone. The aim of the study is to compare the quality of management of patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 before and after the introduction of model practices. Methods A cohort retrospective study was based on medical records from three practices. Process quality indicators, such as regularity of HbA1c measurement, blood pressure measurement, foot exam, referral to eye exam, performance of yearly laboratory tests and HbA1c level before and after the introduction of model practices were compared. Results The final sample consisted of 132 patients, whose diabetes care was exclusively performed at the primary care level. The process of care has significantly improved after the delivery of model practices. The most outstanding is the increase of foot exam and HbA1c testing. We could not prove better glycaemic control (p>0.1). Nevertheless, the proposed benchmark for the suggested quality process and outcome indicators were mostly exceeded in this cohort. Conclusion The introduction of a nurse into the team improves the process quality of care. Benchmarks for quality indicators are obtainable. Better outcomes of care need further confirmation.
