Özet
This study aimed to identify the need for disease management in diabetes in Turkey and present recommendations for diabetes management policies as a part of the established needs. This study was planned as a case study, and the snowball sampling method was used as a part of qualitative research. Twenty-one individuals, including six doctors, three diabetes nurses, six academics, and six adult diabetic patients, were included using semi-structured forms with the in-depth interview technique. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and content analysis methods. In the analysis, the “NVivo 12. Program” was used. The results were discussed along with the relevant literature, and conclusions and recommendations were reached in line with the research objectives. The participants stated that practices related to disease management in diabetes improved compared to the past, but the development process should continue. The participants reported a need for a multidisciplinary systematic process to prioritize the patient and their needs and help patients live healthy and free from complications. In terms of disease burden, diabetes is a significant issue that affects all countries worldwide. We recommend the determination of health policies, health service delivery schemes, changes in the health system, and multidisciplinary work related to diabetes management in Turkey, and steps should be taken to improve these issues.
