Evaluating the impact of an insulin pump discontinuation action plan on patient or caregiver confidence and anxiety
2019
Aims
Insulin pump failure and adverse events are common and therefore anticipatory education is recommended. Research in other chronic diseases shows written action plans improve confidence and adherence during an acute deterioration. However, no similar data exists for patients with type one diabetes mellitus provided with anticipatory education via an insulin pump action plan. This study evaluates whether an insulin pump action plan improves patient and caregiver confidence in managing a potential pump failure without a subsequent increase in anxiety.
