Auricular Plaster Therapy for Improving Fatigue in a Patient with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Nursing Report
This article summarizes the nursing experience of auricular plaster therapy for a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) presenting with fatigue due to qi-yin deficiency syndrome. Fatigue, as one of the most debilitating symptoms in diabetic patients, significantly impacts physical and mental health while reducing quality of life. Based on routine nursing care, the medical team applied Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) auricular plaster therapy to intervene. After 8 days of treatment, the patient's Barthel Index score improved from 60 to 80, effectively alleviating fatigue and enhancing quality of life.
