Lessons Learned from Implementing a New Testing/Educational Tool for Patients Using an Insulin Pump

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background: To improve insulin pump therapy results, a special test for patients was devised. The model successfully used to achieve a license to operate different machines was followed. Methods: The test (a practice and a full run, with a time limit) contained 42 questions, each with four optional choices, and could be answered online. Patients could familiarize themselves with the whole question pool first. Patients could repeat a full run attempt if they failed and were offered focused remedial education. The study group composed of adults, 46 females, and 54 males, all treated for type 1 diabetes, 38/100 newly introduced to insulin pump therapy. Results: Eighty-five of 100 patients successfully completed their first full run attempt (80% or higher correct answers) and 3 of 100 on their second full run attempt; 12 of 100 patients were not able to succeed. The median of the test score was 2 mistakes (range 0-17 mistakes). The most problematic topics were diet and insulin regimens and their application. The crucial factor influencing the test score was the willingness to try practice run(s). Those who practiced had a significantly higher total test score with better results in 5 of 8 tested knowledge domains. Age and diabetes existing &gt;15 years had an impact on the result, too. Both patients&apos; and caregivers&apos; opinions on the test were predominantly positive (or neutral). Conclusions: The type of test introduced is a good tool for checking a patient&apos;s theoretical knowledge and indirectly revealing a patient&apos;s level of motivation.
