Abstract
Objective: To determine the effect of the nursing thanatological activity through interpersonal relationships on the levels of frustration in the person with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods: Intervention study with pre and post assessment carried out in Yucatan, Mexico. Variables were age, gender, school level, occupation, civil status, time suffering the illness, and level of frustration. The intervention program consisted of 6 modules implemented during 4 months. A paired-samples Wilcoxon hypothesis test was performed.
Results: 87% of the participants showed a medium level of frustration prior to the intervention, and the remaining 13% showed a high one. After the intervention, it was observed that 69% showed a low level of frustration, 26.1% showed a medium one, and only 4.3% showed a high one. The hypothesis test returned p less than 0.000 indicating that there is a significant difference between the levels of frustration before and after the intervention.
Conclusions: Nursing thanatological activity through interpersonal relationships decreases the level of frustration of the person with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
