Abstract

Background: Microvascular complications in diabetes cause significant morbidity if not detected and ‎treated early. Patient education is critical, but traditional methods often fail to ensure knowledge ‎retention. Video-assisted teaching (VAT) combines visual and auditory elements, offering a promising ‎alternative. Objective: To assess the short-term knowledge gain and feasibility of video-assisted teaching ‎on microvascular complications among newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: A single-‎group pre-test/post-test pilot study was conducted among 60 newly diagnosed diabetic patients aged ≥20 ‎years. Knowledge was assessed using a structured 35-item questionnaire before and after a 45-minute ‎VAT session. Post-test assessment was performed on day eight. Data were analysed using paired t-tests. ‎Results: Mean knowledge scores increased significantly from 11.80 ± 2.15 at baseline to 25.32 ± 2.14 ‎post-intervention (mean difference: 13.52; p < 0.001). Significant improvements were observed across all ‎knowledge domains (p < 0.001). The proportion of participants with adequate knowledge increased from ‎‎0% to 66.7%. Conclusion: VAT shows promise as a feasible educational approach associated with ‎short-term knowledge improvement; however, controlled studies are required to confirm effectiveness.
