Background:
@EN For the past 20 years, diabetes educators such as medical doctors, nurses, dietitians and others have provided many types of educational services including individual counseling, small group teaching and large group education. To determine
the
perceived efficacy of diabetes education methods and media, diabetes educators were surveyed in Korea.
@ES Methods :
@EN The survey was mailed to 333 members of Korean Diabetes Association. A questionnaire was developed that elicited background informations from the diabetes educator. We asked the educators to rate seven types of education materials and nine
types of
education methods for both cost and educational effectiveness. We were also asked them to rate the extent to which nine barriers interfered with their ability to provide high quality patient education. Questionnaire contained an assessment of the
educator's use of patients education materials and content areas for which additional materials needed to be developed.
One hundred ten questionnaire were retumed, the response rate is 3.3%.
@ES Results :
@EN Respondents included 42% of MDs, 26% of RNs, 30% of RDs, and 2% of others.
Their mean number of years experience in diabetes education was 5.
All respondent routinely provided patient educations. Respondent indicated that leflet and slidetapes were the most educationally effective media and audiotapes and videotapes were the least effective. Programmed instruction and slidetapes were
the
most
effective. Audiotapes were the least cost effective. While respondents perceived one-to-one counseling, skills training to be the most educationally effective methods. Group education and large/small group discussion were seen as the most
cost-effective
educational methods.
@ES Conclusion :
@EN The respondents to this questionnair appear to represent a group of well-educated and experienced diabetes educators.
They indicated unmotivated patient as the major barner to high-quality patient education. They further identified a need for materials development related to psychological and social aspects of diabetes care.
Diabetes clinics and others who are responsible for patients and professional education need to use these results to develop relevant and appropriate materials.
