Dado a elevada prevalência de Diabetes Mellitus, a implementação do Programa de Educação Terapêutica “Insulina +” resulta da necessidade de melhorar conhecimentos e construir habilidades na pessoa com diabetes tipo 1. O presente trabalho tem origem nesta necessidade. Estudo realizado com uma amostra não aleatória, tendo sido convidados a participar 30 pessoas com diabetes tipo 1, do total de utentes que frequentava a Unidade de Diabetes dum Centro Hospitalar da região centro de Portugal. Após a intervenção do Programa de Educação Terapêutica “Insulina +”, verificou-se uma melhoria nos conhecimentos dos indivíduos que participaram, nomeadamente na autovigilância (valor ideal de glicémia, lavagem das mãos, pesquisa de glicemia e desinfecção do local de pesquisa) e insulinoterapia (conservação, técnica e locais de administração, prevenção da hiperglicémia e hipoglicémia).
O Programa poderá ser aplicado como medida de educação terapêutica e de avaliação e auditoria de boas práticas clínicas.
Abstract: Given the high prevalence of diabetes mellitus, implementing “Insulin +” Therapy Education Programme stems from the need to improve knowledge and build skills in people with type 1 diabetes. This paper is based on this need. The study was conducted with a non-random sample, in which 30 people with type 1 diabetes were invited to participate. They were selected from among all of the patients who attended the Diabetes Unit of a regional hospital centre in central Portugal. After the “Insulin +” Therapy Education Programme intervention there was an improvement in the subjects’ knowledge, particularly in self-monitoring (ideal glycaemia value, hand-washing, glycaemia testing and disinfection of the testing location) and insulin therapy (maintenance, technique and administration location, prevention of hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia). The programme can be applied as a measure of therapeutic education and evaluation and auditing of good clinical practice.
