During a 2-wk summer camp for insulin-dependent children aged 9-15 yr, a voluntary program of home glucose monitoring using an Ames' Dextrometer was offered. The primary instructors were campers who had mastered the procedure and who, with limited staff assistance, tutored naive campers. By camp's end, 96% of all naive campers had practiced this new home glucose monitoring procedure. Procedural errors were infrequent and decreased as a function of practice. No significant differences were found in error rates as a function of either the age or sex of the user. The data suggest that home glucose monitoring could be incorporated into the treatment regimen of many young patients and that peer instruction is an effective method of introducing the procedure to young children.
在一个为期两周的针对9至15岁胰岛素依赖型儿童的夏令营中，提供了一项使用艾姆斯血糖仪进行家庭血糖监测的自愿计划。主要指导者是那些已经掌握该程序的营员，他们在工作人员有限的协助下辅导初次接触的营员。到夏令营结束时，所有初次接触的营员中有96%都练习了这种新的家庭血糖监测程序。操作错误很少见，并且随着练习次数的增加而减少。未发现错误率因使用者的年龄或性别而有显著差异。数据表明，家庭血糖监测可以纳入许多年轻患者的治疗方案中，并且同伴指导是向幼儿介绍该程序的一种有效方法。
