Video Training to Reduce Insulin Administration Errors

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.
