Abstract: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-random… Show more
“…As dificuldades de manejo do DM1 na escola justificam a necessidade de desenvolver estratégias que promovam a saúde e a qualidade de vida no ambiente escolar frente ao DM1. Nesse contexto destacamos a importância da promoção lúdica da educação em diabetes para o público infanto-juvenil dentro das escolas, como no caso do material desenvolvido pelo programa KiDS (IDF, 2019b) bem como o treinamento das equipes escolares, que já vem sendo realizado pelos Centro de Referência Diabetes nas Escolas (REIS et al, 2018;MOURÃO et al, 2022). Essas ações visam tornar a escola um ambiente mais seguro e acolhedor (BECHARA et al, 2018), onde os colegas e funcionários possam ser uma fonte de apoio e suporte para crianças e adolescentes com DM1.…”
Resumo Objetivo: Verificar a percepção sobre o diabetes dos alunos de escolas públicas. Métodos: Estudo descritivo transversal, com entrevista aos alunos sobre diabetes (sinais e sintomas, alimentação e questões sobre o autocuidado no ambiente escolar), com análise de conteúdo para a questão aberta, expressa em número de ocorrências, e demais resultados em frequência, média e desvio padrão. Resultados: 302 estudantes, com 9,1±1,5 anos e 54% do sexo feminino. Termos associados a consequências negativas tiveram 91 ocorrências para “o que é diabetes”. Para 95,4% dos entrevistados a pessoa com diabetes não pode comer doces, e para 32,8% o diabetes é transmitido de uma pessoa para outra. Apenas 34,8% afirmaram que o colega com diabetes pode participar de atividades físicas/recreativas, e 32,1% responderam que ele não poderia lanchar junto com os demais. Somente 29,2% dos entrevistados reconheceram que o colega com diabetes precisaria ter consigo algo com açúcar para momentos em que se sinta mal. Conclusões: Estes achados reforçam a necessidade de melhorar o conhecimento e a percepção dos estudantes sobre o diabetes no ambiente escolar, propiciando condições mais harmoniosas e seguras de manejo do diabetes nestes espaços.

“…In Spain, only 36.9 percent of the surveyed teachers had sufficient basic knowledge about diabetes. Nonetheless, other studies strongly advocated for a training program for teachers to improve their diabetes knowledge after observing relatively low levels of knowledge (23,24) .…”
Background: teachers should have the knowledge regarding their school's preparations for such complications especially if their school has students with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) mellitus. Aim: To assess the perception and attitudes of school teachers about the preparation of their school for dealing with type 1 diabetic students in Al-Madinah City, Saudi Arabia. Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive study was held on 425 Saudi, male teachers working at governmental schools. Cluster sample method was followed. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS program. Results: Most (80.9%) of participants knew that DM is a chronic disease. Only 34.4% knew the normal blood sugar level in children. 48.2% knew that the level of sugar in the blood is important to determine the dose of treatment to be taken. Only 3.1% of teachers reported that the school provide a nurse. 4.5% thought that the nursing room is equipped with essential supplies for emergency and life support. Also, only 4.5% reported that the school have glucagon in the first aid kit. 42.4% were willing to receive training by professionals regarding school measures with children with T1DM. 31.3% were willing to help a student with T1DM.
Conclusion:There is a lack of perception and attitudes among teachers in dealing with diabetic emergency situation in schools and also there is a lack of knowledge regarding the equipment that the school has for dealing with diabetes.
“…The Brazilian study also promoted health education in public schools and evaluated the effectiveness of diabetes interventions in the school environment. This study led to essential changes in the knowledge and perceptions of students, with significant changes related to hypoglycemia and sugar intake by people with diabetes [8].…”

“…Numerous studies have demonstrated that children and teenagers with T1DM experience shame and embarrassment when administering insulin and checking their blood sugar levels, both inside and outside of schools. Since numerous daily doses of insulin have long been an effective T1DM treatment, it is typically necessary to apply at least one dosage at school, particularly before meals [8].. Patients with diabetes who did physical activities and exercise got better results.…”

“…Questionnaire used was divided into four sections; Section A collects demographic data of the participants including age, gender, ethnic, and history of family with DM, Section B contained 6 questions regarding diabetes general knowledge, Section C had 6 questions of diabetes signs and symptoms, and Section D contained 7 questions of diabetes mellitus management. The question used in the questionnaire was modified from previous literature [8]. The questionnaire used a closed-ended question with a single word answer as "yes", "no" and "don't know".…”
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a state of hyperglycemia caused by a variety of factors. Increasing population understanding and awareness of DM will improve community health outcomes. Direct public education and mass media campaigns can significantly raise public awareness of DM and its complications. Until recently, knowledge about DM is still not fully understood, especially in student population. We aimed to measure the extent of knowledge level about DM with pre-test and post-test in Indonesian students. Methods: This interventional non-randomized longitudinal study was held in Alif Laam Miim Islamic Boarding School Surabaya. An intervention was provided by giving education about diabetes mellitus through offline seminars, handbook, and interactive discussion with the experts. Pre- and post-test questionnaires with a close-ended question were given before and after intervention. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS using the wilcoxon test. Result: This study consisted of 95 students with the mean age of 14.94 ± 1.44 years. Around 16.84% of the participants had a family history of DM. After knowledge intervention, there was a significant difference between pre- and post-test score (p = 0.00), with the mean score being 36.90 ± 1.64 and 65.21 ± 1.26 respectively. There were positive changes in almost all answers regarding diabetes general knowledge, diabetes signs and symptoms, and diabetes management in the school (p < 0.05). Conclusion: There was an improvement about diabetes mellitus knowledge in Indonesia’s high school students after giving an educational intervention.
