About

In this study, in which education on acute complications of type 1 diabetes is planned with board games based on Bandura's social learning theory, children can indirectly learn common points that they may hear about acute complications of diabetes by watching board games of other group members. In line with this theory, children's knowledge needs regarding acute complications of diabetes can be determined, and interventions can be planned to meet the determined needs of children. Thus, the level of knowledge of diabetes health literacy for acute complications of diabetes can be increased.

This study will be carried out in a randomized controlled manner to evaluate the effect of educational play in children on acute complications of diabetes and health literacy.
