Experimental group

Description:

Animation movie: For this study, an animated film (Professor bumblebee animation) prepared for newly diagnosed children with type 1 diabetes will be shown in the experimental group. This is an approximately 10 minute film produced by Life for a children's center in New South Wales (DIABETES AUSTRALIA). The animated film will be translated into Turkish and sent to experts (specialists in the field of Children and Diabetes) for expert opinion. It will be shown to children after all permissions have been obtained following expert opinions. This animated movie is a guide to diabetes for children. Additionally, the storybook will be given as a gift for the children in the experimental group to read. Story Book: It is an educational booklet version of the Professor Bumblebee animation translated into Turkish and illustrated. The aim here is to serve as an auxiliary tool for newly diagnosed T1D children to look at later and where they are confused.
