Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes is rising globally these days. Multidisciplinary teamwork for diabetes patients in nursing care is essential to preventing both acute and long-term complications. Additionally, this method of providing services will give students access to modern medical practice while they are in school. 120 students were enrolled in the post-piloted courses and 133 students took the pre-test. Through the Erasmus+ project with international cooperation, we established a "student-run free clinic for diabetic patients" to support the treatment of diabetes, which makes use of the goal attainment scale method and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework. Students are ready to offer free services for educational opportunities for other new generations of medical students and medical care to diabetic patients, according to the questionnaire for the student evaluation of the quality insurance of the piloted courses. In addition to offering diabetic patients and their families access to ongoing medical education, the "student-run free clinic for diabetic patients" also offers diabetic patients medical care.
