Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study was planned to examine the effect of education based on learning styles in diabetic individuals who are incompatible with treatment, on treatment compliance and metabolic goals. The study was conducted as a randomized controlled study between January-September 2021 in Dokuz Eylül University Training and Research Hospital Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases Polyclinic and Internal Medicine Polyclinic.
Detailed Description
Among the individuals who applied to the outpatient clinic and were eligible for inclusion in the study, the odd numbers were assigned to the application group, and the even numbers to the control group.
The practice group of 30 people and the control group were divided into 3 groups as auditory (n: 10), visual (n: 10) and physical learners (n: 10). Research data; The Individual Identification Form was collected using the Patient Compliance Scale for Type 2 DM Treatment, the BIG 16 Learning Styles Inventory, the Standardized Mini Mental Test (SMMT) and the Metabolic Goal Control Form. The training group was given according to the learning styles. The auditory group in the post-training practice group; calling by phone, to the visual group; By SMS, to the physical group; reminder alerts were made by phone + SMS. Standard training was given to the control group. Metabolic target values of the application and control groups were examined at 3 and 6 months after the training.

Arms & Interventions
Intervention Group
After controlling the metabolic values of the individuals in the intervention group, the education were carried out according to the learning modality of the people.
Group-specific diabetes trainings were completed in two training sessions. Each training session lasted an average of one and a half hours and a fifteen minute break was given.
The auditory group in the intervention group, calling by phone; visual group by SMS and WhatsApp tactile group, reminder alerts were made by phone+SMS+WhatsApp.
Intervention: The Effect of Diabetes Education Based on Learning Modality (Behavioral)
Control Group
The learning modality of the control group were determined and standard group training was provided with the education booklet.
