Effectiveness of Bundles of Nursing Care on Level of Neuropathy Pain among Diabetic Patients

Diabetic neuropathy most often damage nerves in patients with diabetes. High blood sugar (glucose) can injure nerves throughout the body. Methods: Quasi Experimental, Non-randomized Control Group design was adopted. Thirty study participants were recruited using non-probability purposive sampling technique. The level of neuropathy pain was assessed using Modified Galer Neuropathy Pain and Semmes - Weinstein Monofilament (10gm) testing. The Bundles of Nursing Care were implemented which included Contrast bath, Isometric exercises and Education on Foot Care Management to the interventional group of diabetic patients. Results and Discussion: The calculated ‘t’ values were 31.5 and 14.2 greater than the given table value at the level and p<0.001 among interventional group on level of neuropathy pain using Modified GNPS and Monofilament respectively. There was a significant association between the age group of study participants with pretest scores among diabetic patients in interventional group. Conclusion: Bundles of Nursing Care was effective for diabetic patients with neuropathy pain. Key words: Bundles of Nursing Care, Level of Neuropathy Pain, Contrast bath,
