Objective To explore the effect of narrative nursing on self-efficacy of patients with diabetes nephropathy (DN). Methods Eighty patients with DN were enrolled as the observation sample, all of whom received treatment in our hospital from January 2024 to January 2025. Randomly divide them into two groups, each with 40 cases. The control group receives routine nursing care, while the observation group receives narrative nursing care. Compare the intervention effects. Results The self-efficacy, blood glucose indicators, and renal function indicators of the observation group were all higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The implementation of narrative nursing in DN patients has significant effects, can significantly improve patients’ self-efficacy, optimize their blood glucose and renal function indicators, and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
