Introduction: Diabetes is a major global public health issue. Health education plays a crucial role in promoting well-being. While lecture-based education is commonly used, it has several limitations. Providing digital media-based health education to diabetic patients may enhance knowledge accessibility and improve patients’ understanding of the disease more effectively.
Objective: To study and compare the effects of health education in diabetic patients between lecture-based methods and digital video media methods before and after receiving the health education.
Study Method: This quasi-experimental study was conducted at Nakornping Hospital among diabetic patients in the Family Medicine Clinic from November 2023 to February 2024. Participants were purposively selected and divided into two groups: the control group received lecture-based education, while the experimental group received digital video-based education. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Independent t-test.
Results: The control group, which received lecture-based health education, consisted of 23 participants, 56.52% of whom were male, with a mean age of 57.87 ± 3.39 years. Of these, 69.57% had an education level below a bachelor's degree. The experimental group, which received digital video-based health education, also included 23 participants, 47.83% of whom were male, with a mean age of 56.43 ± 6.08 years. In this group, 86.96% had an education level below a bachelor's degree. Regarding knowledge scores before and after the intervention, the control group’s average score increased from 10.17 ± 3.34 to 13.35 ± 2.76, while the experimental group’s average score increased from 8.96 ± 3.97 to 15.13 ± 3.02. A comparison between the groups showed that the experimental group experienced a significantly greater increase in average scores than the control group (p-value = 0.021). Furthermore, 86% of participants expressed the highest level of overall satisfaction with the digital media
Conclusions: The digital video-based health education significantly improved participants' knowledge compared to lectures, with high satisfaction levels reported, indicating its effectiveness as an engaging and impactful educational tool.
