The Effects of Video Training Given to Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes Through Smartphones on Self-Care and Metabolic Control

The goal of this randomised control type of study is to examine the effects of Video Diabetes Training given to individuals with Type 2 Diabetes through smartphones on self-care and metabolic control.

The Hypotheses of the Study:

H1: Video Diabetes Training given to individuals with Type 2 Diabetes through smartphones has a positive impact on individuals' self-care.

H2: Video Diabetes Training given to individuals with Type 2 Diabetes through smartphones has a positive impact on individuals' metabolic control variables.

Participants will answer the data collection tools in the first and second interviews and metabolic control variables will be record. Diabetes training videos will sent to the Training Group through smartphones after the first meeting as two episodes a week.

Video Diabetes Training given to training group will be examine the effects of on self-care and metabolic control.

The study will conduct to examine the effects of Video Diabetes Training given to individuals with Type 2 Diabetes through smartphones on self-care and metabolic control.

This experimental, randomized, and controlled study will conduct with a total of 112 individuals with Type 2 Diabetes (56 in the Training Group, and 56 in the Control Group), who apply to the Internal Medicine Clinic of a state hospital in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey between February and August 2022, who volunteered to participate in the study and met the inclusion criteria.

Participants will answer the data collection tools in the first and second interviews and metabolic control variables will be record. Diabetes training videos will sent to the Training Group through smartphones after the first meeting as two episodes a week.

Video Diabetes Training given to training group will be examine the effects of on self-care and metabolic control.
