The use of videos for diabetes patient education: A systematic review

“…The majority of videos 14,15,18–21,25–28,30,31,34–38,42–46 contained multiple and diverse topics about diabetes, including self‐management, clinical care and lifestyle modifications, testimonials and patient‐empowering content. Three studies 17,22,23 revealed that their video content was structured around the principles of the American Association of Diabetes Educators 7 self‐care behaviors (AADE7™) 50 self‐care behaviours.…”

“…Seven 13,18,20,21,26,32,46 out of the 12 studies 13,18,20,21,23,26,28,29,32,34,35,46 that examined the effects of educational videos on HbA1C levels showed a statistically significant reduction in HbA1C post‐intervention. HbA1C changes ranged from −0.2% to −2.1% amongst those that were statistically significant.…”

“…Two studies 26,28 reported significant reductions in weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) after video intervention. The videos in these studies targeted lifestyle modification and proper nutrition.…”

Studies that recruited individuals online suggest that the sample may be biased toward those of higher socioeconomic status with convenient access to the Internet.…”
