Summary

The goal of this study to determine the effectiveness of insulin administration with augmented reality on increasing the knowledge and skills of patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on insulin administrations, determining patients' satisfaction with education and comparing the following two strategies: education with the Mobile Augmented Reality and education with the brochure. * Is Mobile augmented reality application effective on the knowledge scores and insulin application skills of patients with type 2 diabetes on insulin applications? * Does training with a mobile augmented reality application affect patients' satisfaction with patient education? * Other patients with type 2 diabetes were given insulin administration training with a brochure prepared by the researcher. All patients who participated in the study were evaluated for insulin administration knowledge and skills after the training.

Detailed description

The study was aimed at determining the effectiveness of insulin administration with augmented reality on increasing the knowledge and skills of patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on insulin administrations, determining patients' satisfaction with education and comparing the following two strategies: education with the Mobile Augmented Reality and education with the brochure. Methods: The study was conducted between November 1, 2023 and December 31, 2024 with patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who volunteered to participate in the study and were hospitalized in the first and second wards of the Internal Medicine Department of a state hospital (n=100). In this quasi-experimental study with the pre-test and post-test design, the participants were allocated into two groups. While the participants in The Intervention Group 1 were given education on insulin administration with a brochure in line with the literature, the participants in the Intervention Group 2 were given education with "Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR)". The data were collected using the "Individual Information Form", "Knowledge Test", "Scale for Satisfaction with Patient Education", and "Insulin Administration Skill Assessment Checklist".

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Insulin application training with mobile augmented reality	Intervention Group 2 (MAR group): Before the training, the participants were briefly informed about how the application would be performed, and their written consent was obtained. Before the insulin administration training was started, the MAR program was shown to them on the tablet by the researcher and the process steps containing QR codes prepared for insulin administration were provided on a blue flat surface and information was given about the use of the application, and a pre-test was administered to determine their knowledge levels on insulin administration. Then, the education application program prepared for insulin administration was opened and the patients were allowed to use it. The training application was performed 20-25 times. Then the post-test was administered to the participants immediately after the training. At the post-test, they were administered the Knowledge Test and Scale for Satisfaction with Patient Education.
OTHER	insulin administration training with brochure	The Intervention Group 1 (Brochure group): Before the training, the participants were informed about the study, and their written consent was obtained. Before insulin administration training, a knowledge test was given as a pre-test to determine the participants' knowledge levels on insulin administrations. After the pre-test, a 15-20 minute practical training was given using the brochure prepared for insulin administrations. Immediately after the training, the knowledge test and Scale for Satisfaction with Patient Education were administered as a post-test. After the post-test, the participants were asked to self-administer insulin. The insulin administration skills of the patients were assessed by the researcher using the Insulin Administration Skill Assessment Checklist. After the assessment, the participants were informed about their deficiencies, or incorrect performances.
