Brief Summary

Efficiency of training with video to reduce injection errors in patients using insulin

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of using insulin administration video and insulin administration brochure as teaching materials in insulin administration training given to type 2 diabetes patients on correcting insulin administration errors. This randomized controlled experimental study was carried out with 94 people who applied to the diabetes outpatient clinic of Istanbul Medeniyet University Goztepe Training and Research Hospital between December 2019 and January 2021. Using a computer-based randomization method, 52 and 42 people were assigned to the groups that received training with video and brochures, respectively. In the first interview, patients' insulin administration characteristics were evaluated, and the training was repeated using the video or brochure, after which the training material corresponding to the group according to the randomization list was given. Insulin administration characteristics of the patients were re-evaluated one week and three months later. Patient information form developed by the researcher based on the literature was used to collect the data. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test and Mann Whitney U test. The error rates in the interviews were analysed with the Cochrane Q test, and the relationship between independent categorical variables was examined with the Chi-square test.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Video group	Video group	Insulin administration video was shown to 52 patients with diabetes using insulin. The video was sent to the patients' mobile phones
Brochure group	Video group	Insulin administration leaflet was given to 42 patients with diabetes using insulin. Patients read the brochure aloud

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Behavior change	3 months later	Video training is effective in reducing insulin administration errors. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of sociodemographic characteristics of the individuals in the video and brochure group (p\>0.05). The mean number of corrects in insulin administration increased from 12.94 to 20.15 in the group given the training video and from 14.33 to 18.67 in the group given the training brochure, with the patients who received video training having a higher mean number of corrects than the patients who received training with a brochure (t=2.69, p=0.009). In conclusion, retraining patients using insulin therapy with a video was found to be an effective approach to reduce insulin administration errors.
