Abstract

Aim

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of educational materials used to reduce insulin administration errors in patients with type 2 diabetes (educational brochure vs. educational video) on patients' knowledge and practical application of insulin injection techniques.

Methods

This randomised controlled experimental study was conducted between December 2019 and January 2021 at a Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul. The study was completed with 52 patients who were given educational videos and 42 (n = 94) patients given educational brochures. In the first meeting, patients' insulin administration characteristics were evaluated, they were trained again with a video or brochure and were then handed the corresponding education material of the group. Their insulin administration characteristics were re-evaluated 1 week and 3 months later.

Results and Conclusion

The number of correct insulin administrations was higher in the group that received video-based education compared to the group that received brochure-based education. However, a significant increase in the number of correct administrations was also observed in the brochure-based education group. It was concluded that both educational methods are effective, practical, and feasible for reinforcing insulin administration training in patients using insulin.

Clinical Trials Act

Clinical trial registration: NCT05658744 (Approval date of registry; 20 December 2022).

注射错误在胰岛素治疗中仍然很常见！这可能是一个解决方案吗？

目的本研究的目的是评估用于减少2型糖尿病患者胰岛素给药错误的教育材料（教育宣传册和教育视频）对患者胰岛素注射技术知识和实际应用的影响。该随机对照实验研究于2019年12月至2021年1月在伊斯坦布尔的一家培训和研究医院进行。研究完成时，52名患者获得了教育录像带，42名（n = 94）患者获得了教育小册子。在第一次会议上，对患者的胰岛素给药特点进行了评估，并通过视频或宣传册对患者进行了再次培训，然后分发了相应的小组教育材料。分别在1周和3个月后对患者的胰岛素给药特征进行重新评估。结果与结论视频教育组胰岛素正确给药次数高于宣传册教育组。然而，在以小册子为基础的教育组中，也观察到正确管理次数的显着增加。结论：两种教育方法对胰岛素使用患者加强胰岛素给药培训是有效、实用、可行的。临床试验注册：NCT05658744(注册批准日期；2022年12月20日)。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
