Video-Based Health Education to Support Insulin Therapy in Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Abstract

<jats:p>Background: The improper use of insulin usually leads to some unexpected effects, hence, there is a need for right usage. Lack of knowledge and of understanding are key factors leading to the occurrence of medication errors, which could be avoided with proper education. Therefore, an appealing education alternative, such as video, is needed to improve patient’s knowledge and attitudes towards insulin therapy. Design and Methods: One-group pretest and posttest design were conducted on 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were receiving subcutaneous insulin therapy at Internal Medicine Unit in Universitas Airlangga Teaching Hospital. The patients filled the provided questionnaires to measure their knowledge and attitudes, before and after watching the video on insulin therapy education. Then, data obtained were analysed with SPSS using Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test Method. Results: Based on the results, there was an increase in the value of the patient’s knowledge, with the value of Z=-8.212 and P&lt;0.05. Similarly, there was an increase in the patient’s attitudes with the value of Z=-8.234 and P&lt;0.05. Conclusions: Insuline therapy video increases the knowledge and improves the attitude of diabetes mellitus patients towards insulin therapy.</jats:p>

An eHealth Framework for Managing Pediatric Growth Disorders and Growth Hormone Therapy

“…Pediatric endocrinology (the management of endocrine disorders in children) has adopted eHealth solutions for decades. For example, diabetes mellitus education uses game-based interventions [ 6 , 7 ], and more recent advanced technologies, such as augmented reality [ 8 ] and robotics [ 9 ], have been integrated into education and assistive care in diabetes mellitus. These approaches have traditionally looked at chronic conditions that require intensive lifestyle modifications, where lack of adherence to medication has a negative impact, with an increased risk of health complications and hospitalization.…”
