Abstract

ASBTRACT

The objective of the present study was to analyze the skill that individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) have in performing the insulin application process before and after and educational group session regarding this procedure. Data collection was performed through the application of a checklist that evaluated an individual’s initial skill regarding the process. Next, an educational group session was held, and the same checklist was applied again to evaluate the individual’s final skill. The data were stored in a databank and submitted to statistical analysis. The results showed that most participants had doubts in almost all stages of the insulin application process, and failed to perform some essential stages or simply skipped them. After the educational intervention, there was an increase in right procedures, which gives evidence that the activity contributes with self-care and with the insulin treatment.
