Abstract

In Jordan, managing diabetes is a significant health issue that affects patients' quality of life and puts strain on the country's healthcare system. In order to improve the quality of care, raise patient awareness, and manage cases more effectively, it is also necessary to reinforce nursing personnel and enhance their abilities through specialized nursing programs. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assess and examine, using a descriptive and analytical approach, how specialized nursing programs contribute to better diabetes treatment in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. In order to emphasize trends and changes brought about by the implementation of specialized nursing programs, the study used graphic presentation tools and questionnaires to gather data from nurses and patients. According to the findings, the execution of these programs improved the standard of care given, raised patient health awareness, and enhanced nursing proficiency in managing diabetes, all of which had a favorable effect on patient outcomes, including blood sugar stabilization and comprehension of treatment regimens. The study's findings highlight the significance of creating and growing specialized nursing programs as a practical way to enhance diabetes care in Jordan. They also highlight the necessity of fortifying nursing regulations and stepping up continuous training to guarantee the long-term viability of the desired health gains.
