Summary

Purpose of the research; The aim of this study is to examine the effect of education including peer-interactive group support to be given to adolescents diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes with poor glycemic control in the 13-18 age group on metabolic control of adolescents.

Detailed description

The lack of a certificate program specific to pediatric diabetes nursing of the Ministry of Health in our country and the insufficient number of diabetes education nurses show that the pediatric population is not adequately trained to provide diabetes management. Along with these obstacles, the lack of use of an evidence-based standard education program reveals the need for effective intervention programs that include approaches specific to adolescents, who are a particularly risky group. Peer interaction can be used as an effective approach to increase adolescents' adherence to treatment. Thus, adolescents who isolate themselves are given the opportunity to cope with the disease and to share with other children. It has been determined that there is no study in the literature that includes peer-interactive group support on adolescents with a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes who have poor glycemic control but have repeated hospitalizations. This situation shows that there is a need for a study to evaluate the effect of educational intervention including peer-interactive group support on repeated hospitalizations in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes.
