Brief summary
Subject: Subcutaneous (SC) insulin injection is frequently used in the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes patients. Complications such as pain, ecchymosis, hematoma, lipoatrophy and lipohypertrophy are frequently observed after SC injections. These complications that develop due to incorrect injection application negatively affect the use of injection application areas, change body image and negatively affect drug absorption. In order to reduce and prevent complications related to SC insulin injection, it is very important to gain the skill of safe SC insulin injection. It is stated that there are a limited number of studies on which of the teaching methods used in sick individuals are effective. In the national and international literature, no study has been found evaluating the effect of SC injection skill teaching based on video-supported training and low-fidelity simulation model applications on disease management in individuals diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. In this regard, the research was planned as an experimental design in order to examine the effectiveness of video-supported training and low-fidelity simulation model-based teaching in gaining safe insulin injection skills via SC. For this purpose; It is aimed to evaluate the effect of two different skill teaching methods on the patient's SC injection ability, complication management and blood glucose level. Purpose: This research was planned as an experimental design to examine the effectiveness of two different teaching methods (video-supported training and low-fidelity simulation model) in gaining safe insulin injection skills via the Subcutaneous (SC) route. Design: A pretest-posttest two-group, quasi-experimental design will be used in the study.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| subcutaneous injection skills | After 1 week, After 1 month, After 3 months | The subcutaneous injection checklist will be used to measure patients' ability to administer subcutaneous injection. |
| ecchymosis | After 1 week, After 1 month, After 3 months | Opsite-Flexigrid Measurement Tool will be used to measure ecchymosis that occur after subcutaneous injection. |
| hematoma | After 1 week, After 1 month, After 3 months | Opsite-Flexigrid Measurement Tool will be used to measure hematoma that occur after subcutaneous injection. |
| lipoarthrrophy | After 1 week, After 1 month, After 3 months | Lipoatrrophy occurring after subcutaneous insulin injection will be determined by inspection and palpation. |
| lipohypertrophy | After 1 week, After 1 month, After 3 months | lipohypertrophy occurring after subcutaneous insulin injection will be determined by inspection and palpation. |
| pain | during the first week, 1st month and the last week before the 3rd month | Pain occurring after subcutaneous injection will be measured with visual analog scale. These values will be written into the chart. |
| blood glucose level | during the first week, 1st month and the last week before the 3rd month | Blood glucose values will be measured by patients with a blood glucose meter. These values will be written into the chart. |
