https://www.selleckchem.com/products/NVP-TAE684.html Child participation in type 1 diabetes (T1D) self-care is needed in developing countries due to a lack of resources, especially during the school day. #link# This pilot study evaluated the feasibility of a therapeutic play intervention (ITP) versus standard education (SE)on the ability of children with T1D to correctly perform insulin injection technique. Children with T1D (7-12 years) were recruited at two diabetes clinics in Brazil and randomized to ITP or SE. Registered nurses received protocol training to deliver the intervention and perform data collection. ITP group received an education that included a story about a child with T1D who self-injects insulin at school; SEgroup received routine clinic-based education. Preintervention, children were video-recorded giving insulin injections to a doll; postintervention, children were rerecorded giving the doll an injection. The research team reviewed the videos and assessed the injection technique using validated checklists. Parents reported children's self-injection practices at baseline and 30 days. Children (N = 20, 40% male) were 9.6 ± 1.3 years old and had T1D for 3.6 ± 2.3 years; HbA1c was 9.1 ± 2.0%; 20% of ITP and 50% of SEchildren used syringes (vs. pens) for injections. At baseline, 80% of both groups knew how to self-inject; most were taught by a parent/relative. Injection technique scores were low in both groups; ITP group increased their scores significantly postintervention. Practices of self-injection did not change in either group after 30 days. The play-based intervention appeared to improve the injection technique in the short-term. Pilot findings support the development of a larger trial to evaluate the effectiveness of ITP on educating children on insulin injections.
