The use of high-definition video technology on diabetes management

Abstract

Background: Diabetes, a metabolic disorder, has reached epidemic proportions in developed and developing countries. So, the Use of High-Definition Video Technology has gained acceptance as a tool for improving diabetes management. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of using High-definition video technology on diabetes management. Methods: Subjects: All 120 diabetic children, in the Diabetic center in the EL Mogamaa EL Teby AL Shamal, Menoufia Governorate, Egypt. Instruments: It consisted of four tools: 1) Questionnaire for socio demographic data; 2) Questionnaire for nutritional practices and practicing of exercise; 3) Observational checklists, guidelines for testing urine reagent strips for acetone or sugar, guidelines for Diabetic foot and nails care and guidelines Steps in Performing a capillary blood glucose test by using the home device; 4) Diabetic child's investigations' results (fasting blood glucose level, postprandial blood glucose level and glycosylated hemoglobin level) were collected from child's record. All tools were used for pre-post intervention. Results: The study showed a statistical significant reduction in fasting blood sugar, Post prandial blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin level of cases group after intervention (120.57 + 29.13, 165.57 + 29.13 and 7.08 + 1.56, respectively) compared with cases group before intervention (166.37 + 27.66, 232.80 + 57.02 and 9.61 + 1.94, respectively). Also, there was statistical significant improvement in care of feet and nails, blood glucose monitoring and nutritional practices of cases group after intervention (64.25 + 2.81, 36.35 + 2.44, and 10.88 + 1.45, respectively) compared with control group (23.21 + 1.37, 17.63 + 2.11, and 5.28 + 1.37, respectively). Conclusions: The implementation teaching-assisted High-Definition Video Technology has succeeded in achieving significant improvement in diabetic children' diabetes management practices skills. Recommendations: implementation of teaching-assisted High-definition video technology for all patients' health education fields.

The Effect of Educational Intervention Based on Health Belief Model on Eye Care Practice of Type II Diabetic Patients in Southern Iran

“…The results of the present research show that, after the educational intervention, the experimental group has significant reduction in HbA1c value. The results of this study agree with the results of Salinero-Fort et al [ 50 ], Elabbassy et al [ 51 ], and Shamsi et al [ 14 ]. According to the high scores of awareness, perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, self-efficacy, and cues to action and the reduction of perceived barriers in the experimental group, the performance score of HbA1c test has enhanced.…”

The effect of educational program based on belief, attitude, subjective norm, and enabling factors model on changing the metabolic indices in elderly patients with type II diabetes

“…Our findings are consistent with the previous studies. [1230] Three months after intervention, there was a significant decrease in the level of FBS and HbAlc just in the experimental group. Training intervention in experimental group could improve blood sugar indices through raising awareness, attitude, subjective norms, and enabling factors and observing the guidelines on nutrition and jogging.…”

“…Training intervention in experimental group could improve blood sugar indices through raising awareness, attitude, subjective norms, and enabling factors and observing the guidelines on nutrition and jogging. Elabbassy,[ 30 ] Burnett,[ 31 ] Afshari et al .,[ 32 ] Gallegos et al .,[ 33 ] Shahbodaghi and Borhani.,[ 34 ] and Salinero-Fort et al . [ 35 ] showed that training intervention helped to reduce blood sugar and HbAlc, which is consistent with the findings of the present study.…”
