Teach-Back Educational Method On Diabetes Knowledge Level

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
It was aimed to research the effect of teach-back educational method on diabetes knowledge level and clinical parameters in type 2 diabetes patients undergoing insulin therapy. This is a randomized-controlled trial. Teach-back method will used for intervention group, routin diabetes education will used for control group. The primary outcome is diabetes knowledge levels (DKL), and secondary outcome is clinical patameters (fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, blood pressure). DKL and clinical parameters will measured and compared between two groups before and three months after the interventions.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| No Intervention: Control Group<br>Routine diabetes education will given to the patients included in the Control Group by a diabetes education nurse. The diabetes education nurse has been working for 10 years in the same center. | |
| Experimental: Intervention Group<br>Intervention Group will take their diabetes education by teach-back educational strategy. | Behavioral: Teach-back educational method<br>* In the teach-back method, after teaching new information to the patient, the patients were asked to explain that new information in their own words. Then the patients' knowledge and the adequateness of their explanations were determined. The patient should repeat the instructions in their own words. In this way, the healthcare professional can evaluate how the patient understands the information. If the patient repeated the information correctly, the teach-back phase for that information was completed, and progression for new information was resumed. However, if there was a deficiency or error in the information, it was corrected and repeated by the healthcare professional.<br>|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Diabetes knowledge level (DKL) | The DKL will be measured through a self-structured questionnaire containing 11 items. The questionnaire contains three answers: yes, no, or I do not know. The right answer will be accepted as two points, the wrong answer as zero points, and the I do not know answer will be accepted as one point. The total scores ranges from 0-22. Higher scores of the questionnaire indicates that the higher DKL. | 3 months | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Fasting blood glucose | Fasting blood glucose in mg/dl | 3 months | 
| HbA1c | HbA1c in % | 3 months | 
| Blood pressure | Blood pressure in mmHG | 3 months |
