Abstract

To describe the difficulties experienced by nurses in assisting people with diabetes mellitus during hospitalization. Qualitative research with 15 nurses from a Teaching Hospital in Rio Grande do Sul. The data collection took place between October and November 2019, produced through semi-structured interviews, later organized using the Etnograph v6 program and submitted to content analysis. Six categories were constructed that correspond to the following obstacles: insufficient understanding and knowledge, difficulty accepting to live with the disease and treatment, complexity of changing habits and lifestyle, self-handling of medications and supply and distribution of the diet in the hospital. The obstacles in nursing care in the hospital help to apprehend the reality of a complex context, which involves previous care that led to hospitalization, care during hospitalization and planning for hospital discharge.
