Abstract
Abstract Title/Author/Institution: The Effect of Simulation for Persons Diagnosed with Type II Diabetes Lauren Miley BSN, RN, PCCN Committee Members: Dr. Virginia Weisz, Dr. Judy Jenks, Dr. Christina Keller, Dr. Laura Reiter, & Dr. Chris Fish-Huson Radford University and Carilion Clinic Background: Over 30 million Americans have been diagnosed with diabetes with 90 to 95% of these patients having Type II (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2021). Diabetes self-management education (DSME) is a cost-effective but underutilized intervention for patients (CDC, 2021). There have been few studies conducted to examine the effect of simulation as a patient education method. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effect of a simulation-based educational intervention on diabetes self-care management. Methods: Subjects were adults diagnosed with diabetes with a glycated hemoglobin test (HbA1c) greater than or equal to eight, obtained within the past six months. The participants were randomized into the simulation or educational handout group. The instrument used was the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ), which assessed self-care interventions required for glycemic control (Schmitt, 2013). Both groups completed the DSMQ pretest and demographic survey, and then completed the DSMQ again at six weeks post intervention. Results: No formal comparisons were made due to low sample. The mean total DSMQ score was in 7.6 the simulation group and 5.9 in the handout group at pretest. The mean total DSMQ score was 9.1 in the simulation group and 7.5 in the handout group at posttest. Conclusions: The study suggested that immersive learning experiences may be effective in adults with diabetes, regardless of time since diagnosis. More formal education is needed for patients with type II diabetes, especially regarding nutrition. Further studies are needed to further explore the gaps on the use of simulation in patient education. References Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (2020).
