title: [The relationship of the aims of the theory of Peplau with the care of the diabetic patient].
abstract: In the face of the contextual amplitude of nursing activity, its theories need to be mediatated so to we be able to access the real meaning of the ideas elicited by theorists, and thus making possible to the nurses, consider and incorporate them into practice professional. In this article, we described the nursing theory developed by Hildegard Peplau still looking for to establish a connection of this theory with the way of caring of diabetic patient. The building of this study was worth of reflexion and it provided not just knowledge of theoretical ideas but mainly the urgency to use it (or to use another theory) in the environment of our daily practice of diabetic patient care.
