Effects of using a tool to provide advice to diabetic patients who need to inject insulin pen type.

Abstract

     The research on the effects of using tools for advising diabetes patients who need to insulin pen inject aims to study the impact of using these tools for advising diabetes patients receiving insulin pen treatment. The research method employed is a quasi-experimental design. The sample group consists of diabetes patients receiving insulin pen inject treatment at the outpatient internal medicine department of the Bamrasnaradura infectious diseases Institute, with a total of 40 participants. The data collection tool is a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics used in data analysis include frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and paired sample t-test to compare the mean scores between the experimental group and the control group. A 95% confidence interval.
     Result the study results revealed that the average scores for knowledge about insulin injection and self-injection behavior after receiving the advising tool for diabetes patients who need to Insulin Pens Injection were higher in the experimental group (= 3.00, S.D. = 0.000) compared to the control group ( = 1.77, S.D. = 0.423), and (= 2.05, S.D. = 0.221) was higher than the control group (= 1.85, S.D. = 0.427), respectively. When comparing the differences in the mean scores for knowledge about insulin injection and self-injection behavior using t-test statistics, the average knowledge score about insulin injection after participating in the program was significantly higher in the experimental group than before participating in the advising tool program for diabetes patients who need to Insulin Pens Injection, with statistical significance at the .05 confidence interval.
