“…In this aspect, the importance of highlighting this topic in the interventions was verified, contextualizing it, as recommended, within a healthy diet and in the case of correction of hypoglycemic crises [15]. Some studies have used theater plays as a tool to stimulate behavioral change and promote diabetes education, but mostly directed to people with diabetes [19][20][21]. Promoting diabetes education among school community is of value to provide support and assistance to the family and T1DM student, when it is needed, as well to stimulate prevention of obesity and T2DM.…”

Background Brazil ranks fifth in the world in the number of adults with diabetes, and third for type 1 diabetes. Conducting educational actions on this topic in public schools in this country is extremely important, since it can assist in the early adoption of good life habits and in a better care for students in this condition.Objective The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention about diabetes for students and school staff. Methods This is an interventional non-randomized longitudinal study, in which interviews were conducted before and after a playful intervention with the use of theater play and games for students and plus a training for the school staff. Results A total of 89 participants completed the study, being 73 students aged 7 to 12 years old, and 16 school staff. As a result, there was a positive change in knowledge and perception of diabetes by the students. The greatest changes in the answers among the participants, at the post-intervention period, were related to the possibility of consuming something with sugar by those with diabetes, and particularly how to cope in hypoglycemia situations by the school staff. Conclusions Actions like these must be encouraged within the school environment, especially in countries with high prevalence of diabetes.

“…This study contributed to scholarship that explores perspectives of health through a narrative lens (Harter et al, 2005), research on the experience of T2DM in Appalachia (Denham et al, 2007;Manoogian et al, 2010), and studies on the impact of theatre in health promotion and community education (Beach et al 2014;Pieper et al, 2015). This research was guided by narrative theory to reveal how Appalachian audience members who had experiences with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in their families made connections with a theatrical intervention focused on diabetes prevention and management.…”

“…However, research on diabetes prevention and care education through theatre is sparse. Theatre has been used to train health care practitioners on how to talk about diabetes care with patients and their family members (Birdsall & James, 1999), educate children and teens about the effects of T2DM (Curry, 2009), and help patients express frustrations about the dietary regimen (Pieper, Costa, Wiltgen, Martins, & Kupfer (2015). However, no program of that type has been conducted in the Appalachian Ohio region.…”

The Sugar Plays are a family-focused health intervention. The goal of the play is to explore the experience of living with a Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) diagnosis in Appalachia. This present study examined audience reactions using three data-collection methods:(1) open-ended questionnaires, (2) participatory sketches and (3) semi-structured personal interviews. This qualitative analysis of 30 audience members who participated in all three methods found that they articulated lessons learned from the plays, evaluated the characters' behaviors, and engaged in reciprocal storytelling. The audience's reactions demonstrated that narrative telling is relational and that audiences were critically engaged in the process. The plays also helped health practitioners foster conversations about diabetes, the impact of intergenerational dietary habits, and the role of intergenerational buffers.
