Summary

The first phase of the research was to develop tools, including scales and multimedia, and the second phase was to carry out multimedia hypoglycemia education intervention measures. An experimental randomized controlled trial with a repeated measures design was conducted in second phase. Participants in the experimental group receiving multimedia hypoglycemia education and participants in the contrast group receiving conventional hypoglycemia education. Structural questionnaires were used for data collection. The study was to investigate the effectiveness of multimedia hypoglycemia education compared to conventional hypoglycemia education on knowledge, self-care behavior, fear of hypoglycemia, social support, quality of life, nursing hours, education satisfaction, and the recurrence rate of hypoglycemic events among patients with type 2 diabetes.

Detailed description

In the first phase, we created multimedia educational content on hypoglycemia and recruited 300 type 2 diabetes patients who had experienced hypoglycemic events from a medical center and a primary care clinic in southern Taiwan. The participants completed consent forms and questionnaires, and we conducted statistical analyses to develop and evaluate knowledge and behavior assessment tools. We obtained consent from 83 participants to enter the second phase, where they received hypoglycemia education and were then randomly assigned by computer to either the experimental group or the contrast group.
