INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Education is the cornerstone of effective diabetes care. In this implementation project, we aimed to improve compliance with best practices regarding type 1 diabetes educational interventions for adult hospitalized patients. METHODS: This project was guided by the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework. A baseline audit was conducted involving 20 nurses and 20 type 1 diabetes patients who received regular educational measures. Areas of non-compliance were identified and an improvement strategy was implemented. A follow-up audit was then conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the improvement strategy. The project was conducted in Poland in 2021 in a tertiary referral unit that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes. RESULTS: Substantial improvements were noted for all audit criteria after the implementation of strategies to address areas of non-compliance. Use of the education program improved from 0% to 100%. Compliance regarding patients receiving handouts and personalization of the program increased to 100%. We observed a significant improvement from 0% to 80% in the structuring of the program content. CONCLUSIONS: This project successfully improved the quality of education provided for type 1 diabetes patients in all relevant areas. We devised an education program, covering important aspects of diabetes education, with the patients reporting increased satisfaction with the personalized educational measures during their hospital stay.
