The Effect of Diabetes Education Digital Games and Video Animation on Quality of Life

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
• Interventions: Behavioral: digital game and video animation based diabetes education

• Registration Number: NCT05649553
• Lead Sponsor: Pamukkale University

Brief Summary

This research will be conducted to evaluate the effect of digital game and video animation-based diabetes education on the quality of life of children with Type 1 Diabetes. HbA1c, diabetes knowledge and Quality of Life Scale in Children with Diabetes (PedsQL 3.0) score will be taken into consideration when evaluating the quality of life of children with type 1 diabetes.

Detailed Description

This research was conducted to examine the effects of diabetes education given to children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus with digital game and video animation on quality of life and metabolic control. The study is a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. It was conducted with a total of 55 children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, including the experimental (n=27) and control group (n=28). Diabetes education was given to the experimental group with digital games and video animations. Data were collected before the training, at the 3rd and 6th months after the training. Research data were collected with "Descriptive Information Form", "Quality of Life Scale in Children with Diabetes Mellitus" and "Metabolic Control Parameters Follow-up Form". Children in the control group received routine outpatient examination/check-up and diabetes education by a diabetes nurse. Children in the intervention group were given digital game and video animation-based training, as well as routine outpatient examination/check-up and training given by a diabetes nurse.
