About this trial
Insulin is an essential therapy for treating diabetes, but many patients lack standard insulin injection skills. Learning the method of proper insulin injection technique is crucial for diabetes patients as it promotes treatment compliance, ensures safety, improves treatment efficacy, and contributes to better overall health outcomes. Adequate training and understanding of the proper technique enhance patient self-efficacy and empower them to take an active role in managing their diabetes mellitus. It empowers patients to effectively manage their diabetes and maintain optimal blood glucose control, ultimately leading to a better quality of life. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of video-based health education in supporting insulin therapy in diabetes mellitus patients visiting Dhulikhel Hospital. With the increasing patients with insulin therapy and the need for effective patient education, it is essential to evaluate the impact of video-based educational interventions specifically tailored for patients undergoing insulin therapy. A randomized control trial method will be used for the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving face to face educational session with video-based education or a control group receiving standard face-to-face educational session. Data will be collected through pre and post intervention assessments. The study's outcomes will help optimize patient care, increase accessibility to healthcare services and potentially reshape the way insulin therapy is delivered to Diabetes Mellitus patients.
