Abstract
According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Diabetes Atlas, 415 million people have diabetes mellitus (DM) in 2015. Along with increasing number of diabetes prevalence, its complications are also currently increasing. Among diabetes complications, the rate of prevalence for nephropathy was 30- 40 % of diabetes patients in literature. For controlling the diabetes nephropathy (DN), patients should have the complicated self-care competence. The self-care for DN should be included the proper behaviors not only to control their glucose level, but also to manage their kidney dysfunction. Lots of patients have experienced the difficulties for managing those complicated situations. For example, studies reported that diabetes patients have confused of what kinds of food they can eat during hemodialysis. As such, self-care management for diet, physical activity, glucose monitoring, and medications according to changing their diabetes progress should be monitored and educated by health care providers. However, lots of studies have researched the DN self-care behavior as measuring the diabetes focused self-care behaviors. For better understanding the research trend in terms of measuring tool for assessing the DN self-care behaviors, integrative review is needed. Thus, this purpose of this study was to describe self-care research related to diabetic nephropathy patients and to analyze instrument for measurement of self-care. The findings from this review can be provided the information on what kinds of measurement the studies were used for DN and what limitations those instruments.
