Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia and disturbance of the carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism that is associated with absolute or relative deficiencies of insulin action or secretion. Prevalence of diabetes in adult’s world –wide is higher in developed than in developing countries. The number of adults with diabetes in the world will rise 135 million in 1995 to 300 million in the year 2025. Lack of knowledge among diabetes patients may alter their practice. Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the level of knowledge and practice of self administration of insulin among diabetes mellitus patients. Objectives: 1) Assess the pre existing level of knowledge and Practice of patients with Diabetes mellitus regarding self-administration of insulin. 2) Administer video assisting teaching on self administration of insulin. 3) Evaluate the effectiveness of video assisting teaching regarding self administration of insulin. 4) Find out the association between pre-test knowledge and Practice with selected demographic variables of patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. Material and Method: A pre- experimental one group pre-test, post-test design was used for the study. 70 diabetes patients were selected by using Non-Probability Convenient sampling. Video assisted teaching was administered to every sample after the pre-test. Post-test administration was done on the 7th day after pre-test. Data was collected through self –structured questionnaires and check-list The conceptual framework used for this study was General System model (1968).Results: The mean of pre test knowledge score was (7.385714), sd (1.771701) and the mean percentage were (29.54286%). The mean of pre test practice score was (5.2286) sd (1.09242) and the mean percentage was (40.22%). The mean of post test knowledge score was (13.97143), sd (1.727622) and the mean percentage were (55.88571%). The mean of post test practice was (8.5286) sd (1.17611) and the mean percentage was (65.60%) From the entire socio-demographic variable only two variables that is Sex, education was associated with pre-test knowledge score and only two variables sex, education and source of information are associated with pre test practice score. The mean difference of pre and post level of knowledge is 6.585716 and the mean difference of pre and post level of practice is 3.3 which show the effectiveness of Video assisted Teaching Programme. The paired t calculated value of knowledge is 38.557 and the calculated “t” value of practice is 18.682 at 0.05 level of significance which is more than table value of “t”. Conclusion: The result of the present study shows that there is a great need for the diabetic patients to update their knowledge and practice regarding self administration of insulin.
