Abstract

Introduction: diabetes mellitus causes severe consequences that compromise the correct functioning of the body; among them, diabetic nephropathy is of great importance, which is the main cause of chronic renal failure.

Objective: to assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention on chronic renal failure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at Alex Urquiola Marrero Polyclinic, Holguín municipality druing the period January - July 2018.

Methods: a quasi-experimental study of educational intervention was carried out; whose target group was comprised of 55 patients diagnosed with type-2 diabetes mellitus at Alex Urquiola Marrero polyclinic Doctor’s office No-2, while the sample included 46 patients chosen by a non-probability sampling. A survey was applied before and after the intervention.

Results: predominantly male patients; 45,66 % older than 60 years; 15,22 % of them were trained on the subject; 84,78 % of patients did not suffer from chronic renal failure; 10,87 % had adequate knowledge before the intervention, 93,48 % developed knowledge; 17,40 % understood the risk of developing chronic renal failure before the application of the educational strategy, after the implementation of the intervention strategy 97,83 % developed knowledge about the perception of risk.

Conclusions: the educational intervention on chronic renal failure in diabetic patients suffering from type-2 diabetes mellitus increased knowledge about the risk they present to develop a diabetic nephropathy that acts as a basis for the development of chronic renal failure.
