Summary

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.

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.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	multimedia health education	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.
BEHAVIORAL	regular health education	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.
