简要总结
Insulin is an essential therapy for treating diabetes, but many patients lack standard insulin injection skills. Learning the method of proper insulin injection technique is crucial for diabetes patients as it promotes treatment compliance, ensures safety, improves treatment efficacy, and contributes to better overall health outcomes. Adequate training and understanding of the proper technique enhance patient self-efficacy and empower them to take an active role in managing their diabetes mellitus. It empowers patients to effectively manage their diabetes and maintain optimal blood glucose control, ultimately leading to a better quality of life. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of video-based health education in supporting insulin therapy in diabetes mellitus patients visiting Dhulikhel Hospital. With the increasing patients with insulin therapy and the need for effective patient education, it is essential to evaluate the impact of video-based educational interventions specifically tailored for patients undergoing insulin therapy. A randomized control trial method will be used for the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving face to face educational session with video-based education or a control group receiving standard face-to-face educational session. Data will be collected through pre and post intervention assessments. The study's outcomes will help optimize patient care, increase accessibility to healthcare services and potentially reshape the way insulin therapy is delivered to Diabetes Mellitus patients.
详细描述
Background:
The prevalence of diabetes is high, and is expected to increase in developing countries or regions such as China, India, Brazil and Southeast Asia. Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic condition that requires lifelong management insulin therapy being a crucial component for many patients. Proper understanding and adherence to insulin are essential for achieving optimal health outcomes. Patient education plays a vital role in enhancing knowledge, self-management skills, and treatment adherence. Video- based health education offers several advantages including accessibility, flexibility and the ability to provide visual demonstrations. It can empower patients to actively participate in their self-care and improve their overall well-being.
Proper injection technique ensures the safe and effective delivery of insulin into the body. This helps minimize the risk of complications such as infections, bruising, discomfort, pain and incorrect dosage administration. Proper injection depth, angle and site rotation contribute to consistent absorption of insulin, leading better blood glucose control. This is possible when patients are confident in their ability to administer insulin correctly with the right training and education.
Overall, this study holds significant importance as it addresses the gap in knowledge regarding the effectiveness of video-based health education in supporting insulin therapy for Diabetes Mellitus patients. Its findings will have implication for optimizing patient education strategies, enhancing treatment adherence and ultimately improving the quality of life for individuals living with Diabetes Mellitus.
