Mobile Augmented Reality Learning On Insulin Administration Knowledge And Skills Of Patients

Intervention Group 2 (MAR group): Before the training, the participants were briefly informed about how the application would be performed, and their written consent was obtained. Before the insulin administration training was started, the MAR program was shown to them on the tablet by the researcher and the process steps containing QR codes prepared for insulin administration were provided on a blue flat surface and information was given about the use of the application, and a pre-test was administered to determine their knowledge levels on insulin administration. Then, the education application program prepared for insulin administration was opened and the patients were allowed to use it. The training application was performed 20-25 times. Then the post-test was administered to the participants immediately after the training. At the post-test, they were administered the Knowledge Test and Scale for Satisfaction with Patient Education.

"The Intervention Group 1 (Brochure group): Before the training, the participants were informed about the study, and their written consent was obtained.~Before insulin administration training, a knowledge test was given as a pre-test to determine the participants' knowledge levels on insulin administrations. After the pre-test, a 15-20 minute practical training was given using the brochure prepared for insulin administrations. Immediately after the training, the knowledge test and Scale for Satisfaction with Patient Education were administered as a post-test. After the post-test, the participants were asked to self-administer insulin. The insulin administration skills of the patients were assessed by the researcher using the Insulin Administration Skill Assessment Checklist. After the assessment, the participants were informed about their deficiencies, or incorrect performances."
