Brief Summary

Aims and Objectives: The purpose of this study is to compare whether or not there is a difference between venous and capillary blood samples in blood glucose measurements and investigate the effects of different aseptic methods used in skin cleaning before collecting blood samples on measurement results. Background: Capillary blood glucose measurement is a frequently used measurement method in both clinical environments and the home environment. However, several different aseptic techniques are used in collecting blood samples for glucose measurement. Design and Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study that was conducted with 109 patients who visited the blood collection unit of a University Hospital located in Western Turkey for 75 gr OGTT between November 2017 and April 2018. The capillary first and second blood drop values taken from the patients after fasting and at two hours following OGTT and capillary and venous blood glucose values were compared.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Patient Information Form

  10 questions on the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants such as age, sex, height-weight, status of DM diagnosis in the family, status of having another chronic disease and status of smoking and alcohol consumption

  at 6-month

• Data Record Form

  The individuals' venous blood glucose values, capillary fasting blood glucose first and second blood drop values measured with aseptic techniques and the first and second blood drop values of the venous and capillary blood glucose 2 hours after OGTT were recorded into a "Data Record Form". As the glucometer device in the study, Roche's Accu-Chek® Performa Nano brand measurement device was used

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

The data were collected by the researcher at the waiting room of the blood collection unit at a close distance to the lavatory. The capillary first and second blood drop values taken from the patients after fasting and at two hours following OGTT and capillary and venous blood glucose values were compared.

Other: capillary blood samples

Interventions

capillary blood samples OTHER

The patient's finger was wiped with alcohol, left to dry, and the first and second blood drops were read The patient was asked to wash their hands, their finger was perforated with a strip, and the first and second blood drops were read The finger of the patient whose hands had been washed was wiped with alcohol, left to dry, and the first and second blood drops were read Venous blood was collected for blood sugar measurement 2 hours after the patient had a beverage containing 75 gr sugar for OGTT The patient was ensured to wash their hands, their finger was wiped with alcohol, and the first and second blood drop glucose values were measured and recorded

Also known as: capillary blood samples were taken from the same participant in four different ways
