ABSTRACT

Objective: To show an educational video to patients with type 2 diabetes and evaluate changes in diabetes knowledge, glycemic control and quality of life. Methods: Twenty seven patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly selected. A medical history and laboratory studies were obtained and standardized questionnaires about diabetes knowledge, treatment adherence and quality of life were applied. Patients were invited to see the video and afterwards, the diabetes knowledge questionnaire was repeated. A similar evaluation and HbA1c test were obtained 2 to 6 months later. Results: Subjects were 55 ± 9 years old, had diabetes for 13 ± 8 years and the HbA1c was 8.5 ± 2.0%. The diabetes knowledge test score in the first, second (immediately after the video) and third examination (2-6 months later) were 69 ± 17, 80 ± 17 and 77 ± 15 respectively (p ‹ 0.0001 compared with the first exam). A low baseline knowledge test score was the most significant variable to predict a good response in the following test. We observed an increase in blood glucose monitoring (59 versus 78%, p = 0.063) and a better score in the WHO Well-being index (55 ± 18 versus 63 ± 22, p = 0.014). The HbA1c diminished in those patients that significantly improved their score in the diabetes knowledge test (8.8 ± 1.8% to 8.3 ± 1.6, p = 0.248). Conclusions: Offering a video as an educational strategy to type 2 diabetic patients improves significantly their diabetes knowledge. The quality of life and glycemic control also improved but in a more discrete manner and particularly in patients with baseline poor diabetes knowledge.
