About this study

Official title: Multimedia Education on Knowledge, Injection Skill, Insulin Injection Self-efficacy, Injection Performance Rate, Educational Satisfaction, Nursing Hours, and Biophysical Indicators

A total of 72 type 2 diabetes who began insulin therapy using a pen injector participated in this study. The experimental (n = 36) and control (n = 36) groups received multimedia and regular health education program. Four structured questionnaires were used, and videotapes were applied to demonstrate injection skills.

Read the detailed description

To explore the effectiveness of two types health education on knowledge in diabetes and insulin injection, skills in insulin injection, self-efficacy in insulin injection, injection performance rate, satisfaction with health education,nursing hours, and biophysical indicators among the type 2 diabetes who began insulin therapy using a pen injector.With a repeated measures experimental study design, a total of 72 type 2 diabetes who began insulin therapy using a pen injector participated in this study. The experimental (n = 36) and control (n = 36) groups received multimedia and regular health education program. Four structured questionnaires were used, and videotapes were applied to demonstrate injection skills.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • multimedia health educationBehavioural

    The program (flat touch computer) consisted of knowledge and technology levels. Knowledge: diabetic introduction, treatment, management of hyper- and hypoglycemia, complications, and experience sharing of insulin injection by a patient group. Technology: steps of insulin injection skills and complete technology demonstration . The program contents were organized using a unit-based piecemeal teaching approach. Participants could adjust their learning pace according to individual situations and could practice injection skills using an injection mold during hospitalization. A diabetes educator has assessed the learning outcome of each participant after intervention. At the day of discharge from hospital, each participant would acquire a copy of the multimedia health education compact disc.

  • regular health educationBehavioural

    The traditional education program (a diabetes educator) consisted of knowledge and technology levels. Knowledge: diabetic introduction, treatment, management of hyper- and hypoglycemia, and complications. Technology: steps of insulin injection skills and complete technology demonstration.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. diabetes and insulin injection related knowledge scale

    The 20-item diabetes and insulin injection related knowledge scale consists of 4 domains: brief introduction to diabetes, precautions for diabetes medications and insulin injection, management of hyper- and hypoglycemia, and complications of diabetes. Total scores ranged from 0 to 20. Higher scores represent a better outcome.

    Measured: Change from Baseline diabetes and insulin injection related knowledge to the thirteenth week after discharge from hospital

  2. insulin injection skills scale

    The insulin injection skills scale was rated by a certified diabetes educator according to each participant's performance on the 12 steps of operating a prefilled pen injector (12 items; scores ranged from 0 to 12) and the 10 steps of operating a disposable pen injector (10 items; scores ranged from 0 to 10 ). Participants scored 1 point for each correct operation and 0 points for each incorrect operation. Higher scores represent a better outcome.

    Measured: Change from Baseline insulin injection skills to the thirteenth week after discharge from hospital

  3. self-efficacy in insulin injection scale

    The 10-item self-efficacy in insulin injection scale was modified based on the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Total scores ranged from 10 to 50. Higher scores represent a better outcome.

    Measured: Change from Baseline self-efficacy in insulin injection to the thirteenth week after discharge from hospital

  4. The health education satisfaction scale

    The 10 items health education satisfaction scale consisted of 10 items, with total scores ranging from 10 to 50. Higher scores represent a better outcome.

    Measured: Change from the day prior to discharge satisfaction with health education to the thirteenth week after discharge from hospital

  5. nursing hours

    The nursing hours were calculated by adding up the total time spent by the diabetes educator instructing each participant to perform insulin injection.

    Measured: Through intervention to the day prior to discharge from hospital, an average of 1 week

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. glycated hemoglobin(HbA1C)

    Record the concentration of HbA1C (%) from the lab data in medical record

    Measured: Change from Baseline HbA1C to the thirteenth week after discharge from hospital

  2. blood creatinine

    Record the concentration of blood creatinine (mg/dl) from the lab data in medical record

    Measured: Change from Baseline blood creatinine to the thirteenth week after discharge from hospital

  3. insulin performance rate

    The rate of insulin injection at home

    Measured: Change from the first week after discharge insulin performance rate from hospital to the thirteenth week after discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing multimedia health education and regular health education in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Insulin, run by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

diabetes and insulin injection related knowledge scale (time frame: Change from Baseline diabetes and insulin injection related knowledge to the thirteenth week after discharge from hospital). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Nov 2018.
