About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile health (mHealth) educational intervention for adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). Adolescents often face challenges in maintaining optimal blood glucose control and performing regular self-care. In this study, participants will receive structured diabetes education through a mobile application designed to improve their knowledge, self-efficacy (SE), and self-management skills. The impact of the intervention will be assessed by measuring changes in HbA1c levels, diabetes self-efficacy, and self-care (SC)behaviors over time. These findings may help determine whether mobile app-based education can support better diabetes management among adolescents.

  • educational intervention via mobile app

    Behavioral

    The duration of this intervention will be 12 weeks.The SEI will comprised of knowledge and skills related to self care in T1DM. Topics of knowledge will include descriptions of T1DM, insulin, diet management, physical activity, diabetes-related complications, sick day management, skin care, including foot care, and mental and social health issues. Moreover, the participants will be taught skills for monitoring blood glucose, insulin administration, and weight measurement.

Self Efficacy

it will be measured through Diabetic Management Self-Efficacy Scale ( DMSES) was developed by Van Dar Bijl (1999) and comprises 20 items pertinent to nutrition, diabetes management, glucose monitoring, exercise, weight monitoring, and physician consultation. Each item is rated on a Likert-type scale of 0-10 (0-cannot do it at all - 10 can do it). The scores are calculated by summing all items and dividing by the total number (200) of items. A higher score indicates higher self-efficacy. The Interpretation is: 8-10 indicates high self-efficacy (very confident), 4-7 indicates moderate self-efficacy (somewhat confident), and 0-3 indicates low self-efficacy (lack of confidence).

Self Care

Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ) The DSMQ was initially developed by the Research Institute of the Diabetes Academy (Mergentheim 2013). . Each item is rated on a 4-point scale from '0' to '3,' where 0 is 'does not apply to me' to 3 and 'applies to me very much.' The scores are calculated by summing all items and then dividing by the total number of items. There are nine negatively keyed items that are reversed before summing with other items. A higher score indicates optimal behavior. Score of,40% indicate poor self-control, while 41-59% moderate SC, 60-79% good and 80-100% indicate Excellent SC.
