Mobile Augmented Reality Learning On Insulin Administration Knowledge And Skills Of Patients

The study was aimed at determining the effectiveness of insulin administration with augmented reality on increasing the knowledge and skills of patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on insulin administrations, determining patients' satisfaction with education and comparing the following two strategies: education with the Mobile Augmented Reality and education with the brochure. Methods: The study was conducted between November 1, 2023 and December 31, 2024 with patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who volunteered to participate in the study and were hospitalized in the first and second wards of the Internal Medicine Department of a state hospital (n=100). In this quasi-experimental study with the pre-test and post-test design, the participants were allocated into two groups. While the participants in The Intervention Group 1 were given education on insulin administration with a brochure in line with the literature, the participants in the Intervention Group 2 were given education with "Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR)". The data were collected using the "Individual Information Form", "Knowledge Test", "Scale for Satisfaction with Patient Education", and "Insulin Administration Skill Assessment Checklist".
