Abstract
The
purpose of the study was to validate an
audiovisual tool created for the evaluation
of its usefulness in breaking the insulin
barrier, by making a video which is simple,
accessible and informative at the same
time. The video explains the nature of
type two diabetes, the progression of
the disease and the options for treatment
and their side effects. The video also
addresses the patients’ concerns
regarding insulin therapy and helps to
overcome the barriers towards starting
insulin therapy. The subjects included
178 staff personnel who met the inclusion
and exclusion criteria. The personnel
consisted of family medicine physicians
and residents, medical interns, nurses,
medical students and other medical staff
(including clinical pharmacist, dietitian,
and medical educator). The participants
were asked to fill out a validated questionnaire
which contained questions about the relevance,
clarity, completeness, reassurance, efficiency
and accuracy of the information in the
video. The study showed a positive response
by healthcare personnel toward the audio-visual
material which aimed to break insulin
barriers in diabetic patients. This material
can be used by the diabetic multidisciplinary
team as an educational tool as it will
leave the patient with a better understanding
of insulin which will lead to better control
of diabetes and increase compliance.
Key words: validation,
video, education, insulin resistance,
type 2 diabetic
