Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) results from insulin resistance and is linked to obesity, which accounts for 80% of diabetes cases. The elderly are particularly vulnerable, facing high treatment costs and self-care challenges, including blood sugar monitoring and diet adherence. Complications include hypoglycemia, neuropathy, and cardiovascular diseases. Telenursing is a promising intervention that enhances adherence and provides remote education. However, further research is needed to assess its long-term effectiveness. Objective: this study aims to assess the effectiveness of telenursing in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus in the elderly. Method: This scoping review follows the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, analyzing studies from ProQuest, PubMed, and Scopus. Inclusion criteria focused on studies evaluating the impact of telenursing on elderly patients with T2DM using quantitative or mixed-method approaches. Results: From 716 screened articles, seven met the inclusion criteria. Most studies were conducted in Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Slovenia, with one multinational study involving ten countries. Six studies employed quantitative methodologies, including randomized controlled trials and clinical studies. Findings indicate that telenursing significantly improves medication adherence, blood glucose control, and self-management. It reduces the need for in-person visits and enhances patient education, leading to better glycemic control and lower complication risks. Conclusions: Telenursing proves to be an effective approach for managing T2DM in the elderly, promoting adherence and self-care while reducing healthcare facility visits. Further research is required to evaluate its long-term sustainability and effectiveness.

Abstract

Many communities have long relied on wild animal consumption as part of cultural tradition and food stability. While culturally significant, this practice presents serious public health risks, particularly the transmission of zoonotic diseases through frequent human wildlife interaction in markets lacking proper food safety. These risks demand urgent public health responses that integrate cultural awareness. Community nurses, as key agents in primary health care, play a vital role in addressing these risks through culturally sensitive education and engagement. This study aims to review cultural perceptions of wild animal consumption and analyze their implications for community nursing, especially in strengthening culturally sensitive education and zoonotic risk. This systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines, using five databases (WoS, Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect). Study selection was based on PICo criteria, risk of bias assessed with the JBI checklist, and data analyzed thematically. A total of 4,139 records were identified, and 3,940 duplicates were removed before screening. After title, abstract, and full text screening based on the PICo framework, 15 studies met the inclusion criteria. Fifteen studies were included, spanning regions in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Thematic analysis identified five key themes: (1) cultural beliefs, taboos, and symbolic meanings; (2) traditional uses and medicinal practices; (3) taste preference, nutritional value, and cultural identity; (4) nurse roles in community zoonotic literacy; and (5) socioeconomic drivers and market dynamics. The findings show that cultural beliefs and economic needs often outweigh health concerns in wildlife consumption. Strengthening the role of community nurses in culturally sensitive education and risk communication is essential to reduce zoonotic threats and improve public health responses.
