To evaluate the impact of the serious game on the knowledge of children with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Type 1 diabetes in children requires lifelong insulin therapy along with comprehensive therapeutic patient education (TPE). Traditional TPE approaches often fall short, highlighting the need for innovative tools such as serious games.
A pre-post interventional study was conducted with 40 children with T1D at a pediatric diabetes clinic in Tunisia. Participants engaged with , a serious game designed to teach the basics of T1D, insulin therapy, and hypoglycemia management.
Knowledge scores improved significantly following gameplay, increasing from 29.8 ± 6.02 to 68.6 ± 1.58 ( < .001). The effect size, as measured by Cohen's index, was 6.72. Satisfaction surveys indicated high levels of engagement and enthusiasm among participants.

评估严肃游戏对1型糖尿病(T1D)儿童知识掌握情况的影响。
儿童1型糖尿病需要终身胰岛素治疗以及全面的治疗性患者教育(TPE)。传统的TPE方法往往效果不佳,这凸显了对诸如严肃游戏等创新工具的需求。
在突尼斯一家儿科糖尿病诊所对40名T1D儿童进行了一项干预前后的研究。参与者参与了一款旨在教授T1D基础知识、胰岛素治疗和低血糖管理的严肃游戏。
游戏后知识得分显著提高,从29.8±6.02提高到68.6±1.58(P<0.001)。以科恩指数衡量的效应大小为6.72。满意度调查表明参与者的参与度和热情很高。
