DISEASE PROCESS
INTRODUCTION

Diabetes mellitus, often simply referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person
has high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not
respond to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria
(frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).

HISTORY OF DIABETES

The first complete clinical description of diabetes was given by the Ancient Greek physician Aretaeus of
Cappadocia (fl. 1st century CE), who noted the excessive amount of urine which passed through the kidneys
and gave the disease the name "diabetes.

DEFINITION

 Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by elevated levels of glucose in the
blood (hyperglycaemia) resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both.

 Type 2 Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by variable degree of


insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion and increased glucose production.
INCIDENCE

 Diabetes is the most common endocrine problem and is a major health hazard worldwide.
 Type Ⅰ DM or Insulin depending diabetes is most common in children. Peak age is 13 years.
 Type Ⅱ DM is mostly seen over 35 years. 80 to 90 patients with obesity.
 Incidence of Diabetes is alarmingly increasing all over the globe and in 2019, there were 2, 27,580
cases of childhood diabetes globally, Resulting in 5390 deaths.
 The estimates in 2019 showed that 77 million individuals had diabetes in India, which is expected to
rise to over 134 million by 2045. Approx 57% of these individuals remain undiagnosed.
 The prevalence of diabetes in the developing world is due to sedentary life style, with china and
India being the largest contributors to the world’s diabetes load.
RELATED ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Anatomy of Pancreas

 Pancrease is an accessory organ of the abdomen.


 It has both exocrine and endocrine function.
 The exocrine part secretes the digestive pancreatic juice and the endocrine parts secretes hormone
Insulin.
Location

 It is located behind the stomach in the epigastric and left hypochondriac region of the abdomen.
 Anatomically, the pancreas is located along the transpyloric plane.
 The transpyloric plane is an imaginary line midway between the suprasternal notch (jugular notch)
and the upper border of the pubic symphysis at approx the level of the L1 vertebrae.

Parts

 The pancrease is divide into 5 main parts:


1. Head
2. Uncinate process
3. Neck
4. Body
5. Tail
 The head of the pancreas sits within the curve of the
Duodenum and the tail is located by the hilum of the
Spleen.
 The pancreas (except for the tail) is retroperitoneal –
This includes the head, neck and the body.
 The tail of the pancreas is intraperitoneal.

Blood supply of Pancreas:

 Pancreatic branches of splenic artery.


 Superior pancreaticcoduodenal artery.
 Inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery.
Nerve supply :

 The sympathetic fibres from splanchnic nerves (Vasomotor)


 The parasympathetic fibers from the vagus nerve (Control Pancreatic secretion).

Physiology of the pancreas

The pancreas has both exocrine and endocrine roles:

1. Exocrine Function :
 The pancreas produces digestive enzymes which are secreted into the duodenum via the main
pancreatic duct.
 Pancreatic digestive enzymes include lipase, amylase, and proteases (such as trypsin and
chymotrypsin).
 The pancreatic digestive enzymes aid in the digestion of the fats (lipase), carbohydrates
(amylase) and proteins (proteases).

2. Endocrine Function :
 The pancreas produces and secretes hormone into the bloodstream.
 The islets of Langerhans which are the ovoid collection of the cells represent the endocrine
part of the pancreas.
 Iselts of langerhans = clusters of pancreatic endocrine cells that release specific hormone.
 This is made-up of 3 main types of cells :
1) Alpha Cells = that release glucagon.
2) Beta cells = that release insulin
3) Delta cells = that release somatostatin.

 These hormones aid in glucose control.

Function of Insulin

 Insulin is produced and released by the beta cells of the pancreas.


 Insulin is an anabolic hormone.
 Insulin is responsible for the regulating blood glucose levels in the body by allowing the
movements of the glucose into the cells.
 Insulin is continuously released by the pancreatic beta cells at a low level throughout the day,
which helps to :
i. Maintain the resting blood glucose level at a healthy range between eating and during
the night.
ii. Allow constant low-level uptake of glucose into cells for cellular processes, such as
cellular growth and DNA replication.

 Blood sugar rises after eating a meal and the beta cells release insulin in a biphasic pattern.
i. Firstly, beta cells rapidly release stored insulin from granules inside the cells.
ii. Secondly, beta cells increase insulin synthesis for a smaller, second phase release.
So how does it work?

 Once the beta cells of the pancreas release insulin into the blood , insulin binds to insulin
receptors on the surface of the body cells.
 The binding of insulin to insulin receptors on the cells activates a signalling cascade.
 This cascade increases the recruitment of the glucose transporter GLUT4 from within
intracellular storage vesicles to the plasma membrane of the cells
 GLUT4 is the major transporter responsible for the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream
and into the cell.
 A increase of GLUT4 glucose transporters at the plasma membrane will increase glucose
uptake into the cell.
 The cell can then use the glucose as energy or fuel to carry out its functions.

Effect On the Liver


 The combination of insulin resistance and inadequate insulin secretion leads to a further increase in
blood glucose levels by the liver.
 As insulin is not recognised by insulin receptors on the liver, the liver can no longer take glucose up
from the blood to store it.
 This causes the liver to inappropriately respond as if the blood sugar is low (when in fact it is
actually high), resulting in increased gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.
 Gluconeogenesis is the formation of glucose in the liver.
 Glycogenosis is the breakdown of stored glycogen in the liver, released as glucose into the blood.
 Both the processes increase blood glucose levels.

ORIGIN OF THE MODEL:

While working towards her master’s degree, Roy was challenged in a seminar with Dorothy E. Johnson to
develop a conceptual model for nursing. Subsequently in1970 the “ROY ADAPTATION MODEL” was
born as a derivation of Bertalanfty (1968) general system theory and Harry Helson’s Adaptation level theory
(1964).

ASSUMPTIONS OF THE MODEL:

1. Scientific Assumptions
 Systems of matter and energy progress to higher levels of complex self-organization.
 Consciousness and meaning are constructive of person and environment integration.
 Awareness of self and environment is rooted in thinking and feeling.
 Humans, by their decisions, are accountable for the integration of creative processes.
 Thinking and feeling mediate human action.
 System relationships include acceptance, protection, and fostering of interdependence.
 Persons and the earth have common patterns and integral relationships.
 Persons and environment transformations are created in human consciousness.
 Integration of human and environmental meanings results in adaptation.

2. Philosophical Assumptions
 Persons have mutual relationships with the world and God.
 Human meaning is rooted in the omega point convergence of the universe.
 God is intimately revealed in the diversity of creation and is the common destiny of creation.
 Persons use human creative abilities of awareness, enlightenment, and faith.
 Persons are accountable for the processes of deriving, sustaining, and transforming the universe.

Major Concepts of the Adaptation Model

The following are Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model’s major concepts, including the definition of the
nursing metaparadigm as defined by the theory.

1. Person
“Human systems have thinking and feeling capacities, rooted in consciousness and meaning, by which
they adjust effectively to changes in the environment and, in turn, affect the environment”. Based on
Roy, humans are holistic beings that are in constant interaction with their environment. Humans use a
system of adaptation, both innate and acquired, to respond to the environmental stimuli they experience.
Human systems can be individuals or groups, such as families, organizations, and the whole global
community.

2. Environment
“The conditions, circumstances and influences surrounding and affecting the development and behavior
of persons or groups, with particular consideration of the mutuality of person and health resources that
includes focal, contextual and residual stimuli”.

The environment is defined as conditions, circumstances, and influences that affect humans’
development and behavior as an adaptive system. The environment is a stimulus or input that requires a
person to adapt. These stimuli can be positive or negative. Roy categorized these stimuli as focal,
contextual, and residual. Focal stimuli are that confront the human system and require the most attention.
Contextual stimuli are characterized as the rest of the stimuli present with the focal stimuli and
contribute to its effect. Residual stimuli are the additional environmental factors present within the
situation but whose effect is unclear. This can include previous experience with certain stimuli.

3. Health
“Health is not freedom from the inevitability of death, disease, unhappiness, and stress, but the ability to
cope with them in a competent way.” Health is defined as the state where humans can continually adapt
to stimuli. Because illness is a part of life, health results from a process where health and illness can
coexist. If a human can continue to adapt holistically, they will maintain health to reach completeness
and unity within themselves. If they cannot adapt accordingly, the integrity of the person can be affected
negatively.

4. Nursing

“[The goal of nursing is] the promotion of adaptation for individuals and groups in each of the four
adaptive modes, thus contributing to health, quality of life, and dying with dignity.”
In Adaptation Model, nurses are facilitators of adaptation. They assess the patient’s behaviors for
adaptation; promote positive adaptation by enhancing environment interactions and helping patients
react positively to stimuli. Nurses eliminate ineffective coping mechanisms and eventually lead to better
outcomes.

5. Adaptation

Adaptation is the “process and outcome whereby thinking and feeling persons as individuals or in groups
use conscious awareness and choice to create human and environmental integration.”

FOUR ADAPTATION MODES

The subsystem’s four adaptive modes are how the regulator and cognator mechanisms are manifested; in
other words, they are the external expressions of the above and internal processes.
1. Physiological-Physical Mode
Physical and chemical processes are involved in the function and activities of living organisms. These are
the actual processes put in motion by the regulator subsystem.
This mode’s basic need is composed of the needs associated with oxygenation, nutrition, elimination,
activity and rest, and protection. This model’s complex processes are associated with the senses, fluid and
electrolytes, neurologic function, and endocrine function.
2. Self-Concept Group Identity Mode
In this mode, the goal of coping is to have a sense of unity, meaning the purposefulness in the universe, and
a sense of identity integrity. This includes body image and self-ideals.

3. Role Function Mode


This mode focuses on the primary, secondary, and tertiary roles that a person occupies in society and
knowing where they stand as a member of society.

4. Interdependence Mode
This mode focuses on attaining relational integrity through the giving and receiving of love, respect and
value. This is achieved with effective communication and relations.

NURSING PROCESS
NURSING ASSESSMENT

 To assess the sleeping pattern: The patient sleeping pattern is disturbed.

 To assess the risk for infection: the patient has the chance of infection due to uncontrolled
hyperglycaemia.

 To assess fluid volume deficit: The patient has fluid deficiency as he is having polyuria.

 To assess the nutritional intake: The patient is not able to take food properly.

NURSING DIAGNOSIS

1. Risk for unstable blood Glucose level related to the insufficient diabetes management as evidenced

by unstable values of blood glucose level.

2. Fluid volume deficit related to polyuria as evidenced by frequent urination

3. Risk of infection related to uncontrolled hyperglycaemia as evidenced by high fever (on and off).

4. Disturbed sensory perception related to increase blood sugar level as evidence by dizziness ,

headache.

5. Imbalance nutrition more than body requirements related to imbalance of insulin , food , physical
activity secondary to diabetes mellitus as evidenced by increase hunger.

6. High risk of injury related to decreased sensory (visual) sensation as evidenced by blurred vision.

7. Activity intolerance related to decreased energy production as evidenced by weakness and fatigue.

PROGNOSIS

ON THE 1ST DAY , I met my Patient and he look weak and he said that he is feeling dizziness and
sensation of whirling and the look worried and anxious.

ON THE 2ND DAY, I assured him that he should not be worried about his illness and advised him
to take his medication regularly and he is going to improve.

ON THE 6TH DAY, The patient look better and the doctor advice him to get discharge and
continue the medication regularly and come for regular checkup regarding his blood glucose
level.

His prognosis is good, but he have to continue taking medication regularly as diabetes mellitus
is not a curable disease and he have to maintain the nutritional status.
