ClinConnect Summary
This study is checking whether teaching kids with Type 1 diabetes using a short video animation helps them manage their illness better. Kids will be randomly put into two groups after routine diabetes education: one group gets the education with the video animation in addition to the usual care, and the other group gets the usual education only. Researchers will look at how well the kids control their blood sugar and weight (including BMI and HbA1c), as well as how independent they feel in self-care, their attitude toward their illness, and how much social support they feel they have. About 80 children are expected to participate.
Who can join and what to expect: Eligible kids are aged 11–18, have Type 1 diabetes for at least 6 months, use an insulin pen (not a pump), and attend the pediatric endocrinology clinic at Erzurum City Hospital in Turkey. They also must agree to participate and not have other chronic illnesses or certain mental/physical disabilities. If you join, you’ll have pre- and post-education surveys, and outcomes are assessed by a researcher who doesn’t know which group you’re in. The study is currently inviting participants, started in August 2025, and is expected to finish around mid-September 2025; results aren’t available yet.
