This article aims to apply the Health Belief Model (HBM) to the nursing experience of a diabetic patient in smoking cessation and blood sugar control. The patient had failed to quit smoking and sought help because of poor blood sugar control, which motivated the author to investigate. During the nursing period from January 4, 2021 to December 15, 2021, data were collected through observation, interviews, physical assessment, and review of medical records. Based on the HBM, the health problems of the patient were established as: readiness for enhanced health literacy, readiness for enhanced decision-making, and risk for unstable blood glucose control. The authors established trust with the patient through caring and psychological support. Involving the patient in shared decision-making (SDM) and interdisciplinary teamwork increased the patient’s the perceived susceptibility and the perceived severity, enhanced his belief in smoking cessation and health literacy, and strengthened his confidence in decision-making. In the process of smoking cessation, faced with the action barrier of drug recycling, the decision-making sharing between the author and patient was used again to discuss smoking cessation methods, and regular phone calls were made to encourage the patient and promote his self-efficacy. During the pandemic, the lifestyle of the patient changed, and the interests and action clues of the patient were increased to maintain the successful smoking cessation and stable blood glucose control. The authors suggest that in addition to routine blood glucose health education, the individual's lifestyle, such as smoking cessation and quitting drinking, should be included in the focus of health education, and the most suitable treatment option should be discussed with the patient through SDM to provide quality and effective interdisciplinary medical care. |
