Abstract:

The insulin therapy used in the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) lacks educational tools that help in the practice of self-care. Thus, the objective was to develop and validate an educational tool of the relationship between glycemic variation and insulin therapy for adults with type 1 and 2 DM. The study was developed in three stages: i) elaboration of the educational tool; ii) validation of content and appearance by a panel of judges; iii) pre-test with a target audience. Ten judges participated in the second stage and 12 insulin dependent adults with type 1 or 2 DM, participated in the third stage. To evaluate the adequacy of the material by the judges, the Content Validity Index (CVI) was used. For validation by the target audience, the percentages of agreement by items were calculated. The educational tool My Treatment Diary (MTD) was developed, which obtained an average CVI of 99.6% and a percentage of agreement of 99%. The results demonstrated that the content and appearance of the MTD tool were validated and culturally appropriate for the population of adults with type 1 and 2 DM.
