    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Medical Education
    • Diabetes Management

    Background:

    • Continuing education is crucial for healthcare professionals in managing complex conditions like diabetes.
    • Simulation exercises offer a practical approach to understanding patient adherence challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate health professionals' adherence to a simulated diabetic regimen.
    • To identify challenges encountered during the simulation.
    • To assess the impact of the simulation on patient counseling skills.

    Main Methods:

    • A 4-day simulation exercise involving 65 health professionals.
    • Participants adhered to a diabetic regimen including injections, urine testing, result recording, and meal planning.
    • Evaluation focused on adherence, encountered problems, and influence on patient/clinician interaction.

    Main Results:

    • Mean adherence scores: injections (82%), diet (67%), urine testing (58%), recording results (56%).
    • Primary adherence problems: diet (52%), urine testing (17%), time constraints (17%), loss of spontaneity (10%), injections (4%).
    • Participants reported increased sensitivity to diabetic patient adherence issues and improved counseling abilities.

    Conclusions:

    • Simulation exercises are effective tools for enhancing healthcare professionals' understanding of diabetes management.
    • Experiential learning improves empathy and counseling skills for diabetic patients.
    • Addressing diet and time constraints are key to improving adherence in diabetes care.
