The study analyzes the variability and quality of the practice of clinical nursing with patients that suffer Diabetes mellitus, hospitalized in the Internal Medicine in the University´s School Hospital from the period August to November, 2015. Using a mixed method, the sample included nursing workforce, graduates, assistants, and hospitalized patients. In the quantitative research, 54 nursing assistants and 6 nursing graduates were surveyed; in the qualitative approach 4 assistants, 3 nursing graduates and 10 patients diagnosed with Diabetes mellitus. Among the results we found variability in the practice of nursing diabetic patients. These variations of care are affected by factors that have to do with each subject´s personal characteristics (years of labor experience and level of knowledge about the health problem that each patient suffers.) 100% of the nursing personal said they never received any training about how to take care of the patients suffering diabetes mellitus. There were no protocols available in the wards, nor clinical guidelines and nursing norms that standardized the care of patients with Diabetes mellitus.
Regarding the quality of attention provided by the nurses, the patients were satisfied.
