| Research Abstract |
This study was carried out for the purpose of developing a scale for the self-evaluation of teaching style by nurses involved in diabetes education, clarifying the status of the diabetes education styles of nurses, and examining the relationship among education styles, educational background and environment at the actual sites of education.
A questionnaire survey was carried out targeting nurses implementing education for diabetes patients throughout Japan from July through September, 2005 after obtaining approval from the Kanazawa University medical ethics committee. Data was collected via a self-evaluation instrument (54 items) specifically designed for the education styles of nurses, a survey of background and practical environment of subjects, and a general self-efficacy scale.
There were 1,096 items of analyzable data. As a result of the factor analysis of responses to the 54-items self-evaluation instrument, a certain degree of validity and reliability were observed in 20 items, sh

owing the potential of utilization of the self-evaluation tool for the diabetes education styles of nurses. As a result of cluster analysis by the K-means method, data was clustered into 3 groups: namely, "the type of nurses who do not become very involved," "the type of nurses who get deeply involved," and "the type of nurses who teach important points calmly while keeping a good distance" according to the characteristics of score distribution and the relative comparison of scores among groups. The educational styles of more than half of the nurses combining "the type of nurses who get deeply involved" and "the type of nurses who teach important points calmly while keeping a good distance" were thought to be stable to some extent.There is believed to be potential for improvement of the practical ability of all nurses involved in diabetes patients by providing education to "the type of nurses who do not become very involved," a number which accounts for 40% or more of all nurses, that causes them to change to the other types of nurses. In order to do so, this study suggests the need to improve the items utilized in the self-evaluation tool for the diabetes education styles of nurses for educational intervention toward the nurses.
