Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to conduct a needs assessment for adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in order to determine a preferred mode of media and educational material currently desired. To assess the education topics and modes of education that will help adolescents stay motivated in adhering to the treatment of their condition. Methods: An online survey platform called eSurvey Creator® was used to collect information from adolescents with T1D. Participants were informed of the survey through various social media outlets as well as word of mouth. Data was analyzed using summary statistics and SPSS for the quantitative data. Themes were collectively analyzed and determined by the research team for qualitative data. Results: A total of 10 participants (6 females, 4 males) completed the survey. Adolescents preferred direct verbal education and YouTube as a primary source of education. They needed the most help with weight management and attending social events. Conclusion: The findings indicate that social media along with direct verbal education are the preferred modes of education for diabetes self-management. This should be considered by the occupational therapist when developing an intervention plan for this population.
