- Brief Summary
This study was planned to determine the effect of model-based digital game on metabolic control, self-efficacy and quality of life in children with T1DM.
- Detailed Description
This study was planned to determine the effect of model-based digital game on metabolic control, self-efficacy and quality of life in children with T1DM. This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial with a pre-post test parallel group. Participants to be included in the study, In this study, children between the ages of 8-13 who were diagnosed with T1DM and followed up in the Pediatric Endocrinology outpatient clinics and services of two hospitals in two different centers will be selected. During the follow-up days of the children in the outpatient clinic, the diabetes nurse will be contacted to discuss working with the child with T1DM and their families. After the child and their parents are informed about the purpose and application of the study, that the collected data will only be used for scientific research purposes, the children and their families who gave their consent to participate in the study will be asked to sign the volunteering form. Children who agree to participate in the study will be given a password to log in to the created web page. Experimental and control groups will be determined according to the order of login with this password and randomization with https://www.randomizer.org/. Standard diabetes education was given to both groups before the game intervention to be applied to the experimental group; Children entering the site will be asked to fill in the Child with Type 1 Diabetes Descriptive Information Form, the Quality of Life in Children with Type 1 Diabetes Scale and the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale in Children with Type 1 Diabetes. After informing the children in the experimental group about the game designed based on The Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills Model(IMB) of diabetes management on the website, it will be ensured that the children actively participate in the game for 9 weeks and their participation status in the background of the game will be followed; At the end of 9 weeks, all stages of the game will be required to be completed. Reminders will be made by contacting the children who have not completed the game in line with the follow-ups in the background, once a week. During this process, the control group; On a weekly basis, slides supported with visuals related to nutrition, exercise and drug use will be presented on the web page in the form of sessions. Children will be provided to watch each session. Whether the children complete the sessions or not will be monitored from the background. Children who do not complete the sessions will be reminded once a week.
All scales will be re-administered to both groups at the 12th week (3 weeks after the training). Scales will also be applied through the website. HbA1c and other blood levels of the parameters to be used in the study will be obtained from the hospital files at the beginning of the study and at the end of the 12th week, as they are routinely requested during the controls. At the end of the study, the control group will also be allowed to log in to the game via the website in terms of ethical compliance.

Group Intervention Description Pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes Dijital Game and Health Education By providing standard diabetes education before the digital game intervention, the child who enters the game will be asked to fill out the Child with Type 1 Diabetes Descriptive Information Form, the Quality of Life in Children with Type 1 Diabetes Scale, and the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale in Children with Type 1 Diabetes.After the children in the experimental group are informed about the digital game designed according to the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills Model (IIMB) in diabetes management, active participation of the children in the digital game will be ensured for 9 weeks, and participation status will be followed in the background of the game.At the end of 9 weeks, children will be asked to complete all stages of the game.Children who do not complete the game will be contacted once a week in line with the follow-up, and reminders will be made.At the 12th and 15th weeks (3 and 6 weeks after the training), all the scales will be administered again.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Quality of Life Scale for Children with Type 1 Diabetes (PedsQL 3.0) 30 minutes The scale was developed by Varni et al in 2003. It consists of five sub-dimensions: diabetes symptoms, treatment barriers, adherence to treatment, anxiety, and communication. The scale was prepared in a five-point Likert type, and the child form of the scale was designed for 5-7 age groups, 8-12 age groups and 13-18 age groups. A high total score from the scale indicates a high health-related quality of life. The internal consistency coefficient of the original form of the scale was 0.71(Varni et al,2003). The Turkish validity and reliability study of the 8-12 age form of the scale was performed by Ayar(2012), and the Turkish validity and reliability study of the 13-18 age form was performed by Çövener Özçelik et al(2015). In the study, the Cronbach's alpha values of the scales were 0.83 for 8-12 years old, 0.90 for 13-18 years old. In the studies of Ayar and Öztürk(2016); The internal consistency coefficient of the quality of life scale in children with diabetes was found to be 0.80.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes 30 minutes It is a scale developed by Moens(1998). In the scale prepared according to the fivepoint Likert system, 1= yes definitely, 2= maybe yes, 3=maybe yes, maybe no, 4=maybe no, 5 = of course no. The perceived self-efficacy score is calculated by dividing the total number of items, and there is a negative correlation between the increase in the total score and the level of self-efficacy. Medical treatment and nutrition (1-2-4-5-7-9-10-11-14-18-22-26); adjustment of nutrition and insulin dose (6-8-12-13-17-19-21-25); being able to tell about diabetes (23-24); it consists of four sub-dimensions, being honest with oneself and others(3-15-16-20). The total explanatory variance rate of the four-factor scale is 47.1%. The reliability coefficient of the original scale; It is 0.8.The Turkish validity and reliability study was done by Öztürk, Ayar and Bektas(2016). The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the Turkish scale is 0.85, and its sub-dimensions are 0.80, 0.75, 0.70 and 0.70, respectively.
