Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of digital storytelling on the Self-Management behavior of adolescents with type 1 diabetes (TID).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this single-blind randomized controlled trial, 60 eligible adolescents with TID were selected based on a convenient sampling method. Next, the participants were randomly allocated into two parallel groups: intervention (training with digital storytelling method, n=30) or control (training with conventional) n=30) groups. Before and three months after the intervention the patients' levels of self-management behaviors according to Self-Management of TID amongst adolescents (SMOD-A); in addition to the Glycated Hemoglobin test (HbA1c) were measured.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention

At first, participants' demographic data, the levels of "self-management", and "HbA1c "were documented at the commencement of the study. Then, asynchronous Diabetes self-management training, using digital storytelling was made available to this group. Post-test data were collected 3 months after the pretest.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Digital storytelling training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The digital content in this study is called "Diabetes and Bumblebee". It features 35 minutes of animation that provides children with a brief description of the disease, its symptoms and complications, treatment methods, the type of insulin, how to preserve insulin, the importance of nutrition and exercise in treating diabetes as well as efficient communication and collaboration with parents and healthcare providers. Exciting and interactive animations were used to depict the daily life of a adolescence with diabetes.

No Intervention

At first, participants' demographic data, the levels of "self-management", and "HbA1c "were documented at the commencement of the study. Then, the control group received the clinics' routine training. Post-test data were collected 3 months after the pretest.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Routine training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The control group received the clinics' routine training include face to face class education.
