This proposal seeks support to develop and study an educational video game for children with diabetes. Diabetes is managed largely by patients themselves; patient knowledge and attitude are critical to the success of treatment. Phase I established the feasibility of using a computer game to teach children about diabetes. Concurrently, a prototype game was designed for a popular home-based video game system. Phase II will expand this prototype into a commercial quality educational video game and study its efficacy in diabetes education in a controlled trial. Children with diabetes, age 10 to 14, will receive the video game to use at home for two months. Researchers will measure subject's knowledge of diabetes, attitudes, self-efficacy, behavior and metabolic control using pre-tests, post-tests and a six-month follow-up. The results will be compared with patients not receiving the intervention. As a check on the measures, the game cartridges will unobtrusively measure usage and the players' ability to master the diabetes-based game strategy. The researchers hypothesize that a properly designed educational intervention, when combined with intrinsic motivations of entertainment quality video games, could lead to significant improvements in the knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, behavior and metabolic control of children with diabetes.

这项提议寻求对开发和研究教育视频游戏的支持。 适用于患有糖尿病的儿童。糖尿病在很大程度上是由患者管理的 他们自己；耐心的知识和态度是成功的关键 治疗。第一阶段确定了使用电脑游戏的可行性 教孩子们关于糖尿病的知识。同时，设计了一个原型游戏 一款流行的家用视频游戏系统。第二阶段将扩大这一范围 实现了一款商业化的优质教育视频游戏，并研究了其 一项对照试验中糖尿病教育的效果。患有以下疾病的儿童 10岁至14岁的糖尿病患者将在家中使用这款视频游戏，供两人使用 月份。研究人员将测量受试者对糖尿病的了解， 态度、自我效能、行为和新陈代谢控制使用预试， 后测试和六个月的随访。结果将与 未接受干预的患者。作为对这些措施的检查， 游戏墨盒将不引人注意地测量使用情况和玩家的能力 掌握基于糖尿病的游戏策略。研究人员假设 一种设计得当的教育干预，当与 娱乐高品质视频游戏的内在动机，可能会导致 在知识、态度、自我效能感、 糖尿病儿童的行为和代谢控制。
