The purpose of this descriptive study was to identify the concerns and characteristics that distinguish diabetes educators who use computers for patient education from those who do not. Three hundred certified diabetes educators who were current members of the American Association of Diabetes Educators were surveyed using the Stages of Concern Questionnaire and a demographic questionnaire compiled by the author. Results indicated that diabetes educators are interested in computer-based patient education as an educational strategy, even though most diabetes educators are not currently using the computer for patient education. Primary barriers to using computers were identified as lack of computer availability for patients and limited financial resources. Because computers are becoming more pervasive in disseminating information about diabetes and new educational software is being developed for patients, diabetes educators need to learn more about this educational methodology for teaching their patients about diabetes.
这项描述性研究的目的是确定使用计算机进行患者教育的糖尿病教育工作者与不使用计算机的糖尿病教育工作者之间的关注点和特征差异。对300名美国糖尿病教育者协会的现任认证糖尿病教育者进行了调查，使用了关注阶段问卷和作者编制的人口统计学问卷。结果表明，尽管大多数糖尿病教育者目前并未使用计算机进行患者教育，但他们对基于计算机的患者教育作为一种教育策略感兴趣。使用计算机的主要障碍被确定为患者缺乏计算机设备以及资金资源有限。由于计算机在传播糖尿病信息方面越来越普及，并且正在为患者开发新的教育软件，糖尿病教育者需要更多地了解这种教育方法，以便向患者传授糖尿病知识。
