Evaluation of Group Health Teaching With Video in Diabetic Patients (EGVD)

Objective:Health videos and group education to allow patients to a correct understanding of diabetes and insulin treatment.

Method:

Standards and number of patients: The patients received subcutaneous insulin injection, estimated 30 people enrolled.

Experimental Design and Methods:

1. Screening out-patient treatment with insulin use, HbA1c> 8% or poor postprandial glucose (PPG)
2. At the time of the visits, invite the patient to participate in the Video group education on insulin therapy By answering some questions about insulin injections, such as: do not know how to perform; afraid of the pain; fear of inconvenience, give patients time to complete the questionnaire.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus
• Intervention / Treatment: Behavioral: Video

Detailed Description

Diabetes is a long-term chronic disease. The patients need to correct "knowledge and action" lifestyle in order to achieve effective blood glucose control. Upon the general control of diabetic patients in Taiwan, however, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is not satisfactory. One of the important reasons is the low rate of insulin injection. For the use of insulin, the patient has many misconception. The patients in the clinic need to spend a lot of time to explain and description, but the results are not necessarily good. So we hope that in this part of the health education activities through organized groups Videos to assist doctors and patients as a bridge of communication, to enhance diabetes doctor thus contributing to glycemic control results.
