Background of study: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is currently considered as an important health problem in terms of its prevalence, incidence and relationship to premature mortality, as well as due to costs involved to control and treat its complications. Nurses are involved in different types of health care. Nursing care is enhanced by nursing care plans which outline the nursing activities to be provided for a patient. Through this study we identify as much as possible nursing diagnosis of patient with diabetes and the common nursing diagnosis of diabetic patients. Also this study helps the nurses who have lack of knowledge regarding diagnosis of patient with diabetes. Methodology: Non experimental descriptive research study conducted. The non-probability convenient sampling technique was used for the study. The physical examination & Demographic variable tool was used for 66 patients. An information booklet was prepared on identified nursing diagnosis and at the end of data collection it was distributed among staff nurses of different wards. A study was conducted between 23rd January 2020 to 4th February 2020. The data was analysed by descriptive & inferential statistical method and based on study objectives. Result: Researcher found that nursing diagnosis like impaired skin integrity, impaired physical mobility, activity intolerance/ fatigue, disturbed sensory perception most among the sample of the study with percentage of 40.9%, 78.8%, 43.9%, and 37.9% respectively. For association between demographic data and nursing diagnosis, Association between Impaired visual activities and whether complications related to diabetes present. Hence, it shows that higher the diabetic complications presence incites the impaired visual activity. Association between Ineffective breathing pattern / respiratory function and Weight of the respondent, it shows that higher weight induces higher chance of ineffective breathing pattern / respiratory function and whether respondent has family history of diabetes, it shows that family history of diabetes induces the high chance of ineffective breathing pattern / respiratory function. Association between Dysfunctional gastrointestinal mobility and Gender of the respondent, it shows females are at a higher risk of gastrointestinal complications than males. Association between Impaired physical mobility and age of the respondent, it shows that older individuals seem to have higher risk of developing impaired physical mobility problems as per the observed samples. Association between Impaired physical mobility and dietary pattern of the respondent, meat consuming seem to be at high risk of impaired physical mobility. Association between Impaired physical mobility and whether insulin administration necessary, it shows that insulin administration increases the chance of impaired physical mobility respondent. Association between Disturbed sensory perceptions and whether complications related to diabetes present, it shows that complications of diabetes increase the chance of disturbed sensory perception. Conclusion: In the identification of nursing diagnosis of diabetic patient, out of 66 samples, researcher found that 27 samples have nursing diagnosis impaired skin integrity with percentage of 40.9%. 50 samples have nursing diagnosis of impaired physical mobility. 29 samples have nursing diagnosis of activity intolerance/ fatigue with percentage of 43.9% of sample. 25 samples have nursing diagnosis of disturbed sensory perception with percentage of 37.9%. In the association of demographic data and nursing diagnosis, researcher found association between Ineffective breathing pattern / respiratory function and weight of the respondent, Association between Ineffective breathing pattern / respiratory function and whether the respondent has family history of diabetes, Association between Dysfunctional gastrointestinal mobility and Gender of the respondent, Association between Impaired physical mobility and age of the respondent, Association between Impaired physical mobility and dietary pattern of the respondent. Association between Disturbed sensory perception and whether complications related to diabetes present.
