Abstract

Little is currently known about the diabetes incidence rate in Russia. Although it is currently reported that approximately eight million people in Russia currently have a diagnosis of diabetes1, other reports suggest that Russia has underreported this number by three to four times2. This exploratory study sought to learn more about Russian nursing students’ perceptions about the incidence and management of diabetes in Russia. We used a focus group style discussion to learn more from the students.
