Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the attitude towards the disease, perceived social support systems, metabolic control and self-care ability of pediatric patients diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, by giving video animation training considering their age and developmental level. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. 1.Nursing interventions using video animations increase self-care abilities in children aged 11-18.
2. 2.Nursing interventions using video animations increase the perception of social support in children aged 11-18.
3. 3.Nursing interventions using video animations support metabolic control in children aged 11-18.
4. 4.Nursing interventions using video animations positively affect the attitudes of children aged 11-18 toward their illness.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Metabolic Control

  Weight and height measurements will be combined to report body mass index in kg/m². Fasting and postprandial blood glucose values and HbA1C values will be evaluated.

  three weeks

• Self-care power

  The five-point Likert-type self-care agency scale, which offers an opportunity for self-assessment, consists of 35 questions. The total score obtained from the scale ranges from 35 to 140. A higher total score indicates that the patient is more independent and competent in self-care.

  three weeks

• Attitude Towards One's Own Illness

  It provides an opportunity to assess the attitudes children with chronic illness develop toward their illness. A 13-item, five-point Likert-type scale was designed to self-report children with chronic illnesses. Four of the 13 items are bipolar (very good, somewhat good, not sure, somewhat bad, very bad), while nine items assess how often children experience positive or negative feelings specific to having a chronic illness, using the phrases "very often, often, sometimes, not often, never." Mean scores for items measuring children's attitudes toward their illnesses range from 1 to 5. The lowest possible total score is 13, and the highest is 65. There are no reverse items. Scores of 1 and 2 indicate a negative attitude, 3 indicate a neutral attitude, and 4 and 5 indicate a positive attitude. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale was determined to be 0.79.

  three weeks

• Multifaceted Perceived Social Support

  The total score available ranges from 12 to 84. A higher score indicates a positive perception of social support.

  three weeks

Study Arms (2)

The experimental group will receive diabetes education through video animation.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Following the routine diabetes education provided by the hospital, the experimental group will receive diabetes education using a video animation prepared by the researcher and approved by an expert. Pre- and post-intervention surveys will be administered.

Other: Diabetes education with video animation

Control group to receive routine diabetes education

NO INTERVENTION

The control group will receive routine diabetes education from the hospital's diabetes nurse. No intervention will be applied. Only the scale and pre-test/post-test will be administered to the control groups.

Interventions

Diabetes education with video animation OTHER

Providing diabetes education to the experimental group through a video animation Following the routine diabetes education provided by the hospital, the experimental group will receive diabetes education using a video animation prepared and staged by the researcher and approved by experts.

The experimental group will receive diabetes education through video animation.
