This study was planned to determine the effect of model-based digital game on metabolic control, self-efficacy and quality of life in children with T1DM.
Being in the 8-13 age range,
Being diagnosed with T1DM at least 6 months ago,
Ability to read and write Turkish,
Ability to communicate verbally,
None
Parallel
Dijital Game and Health Education
BehavioralAfter the children in the experimental group are informed about the digital game designed according to The The Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills Model (IMB) in diabetes management, active participation of the children in the digital game will be ensured for 9 weeks; and participation status will be followed in the background of the game. At the end of 9 weeks, children will be asked to complete all stages of the game. Children who do not complete the game will be contacted once a week in line with their background follow-up and reminders will be made.
Quality of Life Scale for Children with Type 1 Diabetes (PedsQL 3.0)
The scale was developed by Varni et al in 2003. It consists of five sub-dimensions: diabetes symptoms, treatment barriers, adherence to treatment, anxiety, and communication. The scale was prepared in a five-point Likert type, and the child form of the scale was designed for 5-7 age groups, 8-12 age groups and 13-18 age groups. A high total score from the scale indicates a high health-related quality of life. The internal consistency coefficient of the original form of the scale was 0.71(Varni et al,2003). The Turkish validity and reliability study of the 8-12 age form of the scale was performed by Ayar(2012), and the Turkish validity and reliability study of the 13-18 age form was performed by Çövener Özçelik et al(2015). In the study, the Cronbach's alpha values of the scales were 0.83 for 8-12 years old, 0.90 for 13-18 years old. In the studies of Ayar and Öztürk(2016); The internal consistency coefficient of the quality of life scale in children with diabetes was found to be 0.80.
Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes
It is a scale developed by Moens(1998). In the scale prepared according to the fivepoint Likert system, 1= yes definitely, 2= maybe yes, 3=maybe yes, maybe no, 4=maybe no, 5 = of course no. The perceived self-efficacy score is calculated by dividing the total number of items, and there is a negative correlation between the increase in the total score and the level of self-efficacy. Medical treatment and nutrition (1-2-4-5-7-9-10-11-14-18-22-26); adjustment of nutrition and insulin dose (6-8-12-13-17-19-21-25); being able to tell about diabetes (23-24); it consists of four sub-dimensions, being honest with oneself and others(3-15-16-20). The total explanatory variance rate of the four-factor scale is 47.1%. The reliability coefficient of the original scale; It is 0.8.The Turkish validity and reliability study was done by Öztürk, Ayar and Bektas(2016). The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the Turkish scale is 0.85, and its sub-dimensions are 0.80, 0.75, 0.70 and 0.70, respectively.
