Using an instrument of evaluation of theoretical knowledge, the authors have assessed the capacity of understanding and memorizing often groups of diabetes' carriers, that were being followed by a multiprofessional team from the ambulatory of the HURNP. The evaluation included the discussion of a variety of subjects which were part of the activities of an Educational Program. Only one group of patients showed a satisfactory performance. Individual analysis showed that young diabetes' carriers, that were motivated and had good level of understanding, had a better performance. It was concluded that the evaluation allows the selection of patients that need specific reinforcement and that a plan of activities can be elaborated according to the tested subjects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
