Checklists for Assessing Skills of Children With Type 1 Diabetes on Insulin Injection Technique.

ABSTRACT:

Background

School-aged children often participate in type 1 diabetes (T1D) self-care tasks. Despite widespread discussion about the importance of developing self-care skills in childhood, few explain how the health care team should assess the skills of children with T1D when performing insulin injections.

Objective

We sought to assess content validity evidence in two checklists regarding injection technique performed by children.

Methods

Two checklists were designed based on a systematic review of the insulin injection technique. Experts in pediatric diabetes, health literacy, and diabetes education assessed the checklists regarding their clarity, objectivity, and relevance. Content validity was assessed using the content validity ratio (CVR).
