dc.description.abstractObjective: This study aimed to determine the effect of technology awareness education (TECAwEd) on willingness to use diabetes technologies in participants. Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental study. A total of 185 individuals with diabetes participated in the study. Participants received face-to-face technology awareness education for approximately 45 min. During the education, participants were given a colourful brochure containing visuals of technological devices. The data were evaluated using McNemar chi-square analysis. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the want of participating in the study to use technological devices after technology awareness education (p < 0.001). While the rate of individuals who wanted to use an insulin pump before the education was 17.3%, it increased to 39.5% after the education. While the rate of those who wanted to use continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) was 20% before the education, it increased to 40% after the education. When the reasons why participants do not want to use technological devices are examined, it has been determined that the most common economic reasons stand out. Conclusion: This study determined that technology awareness education increased participants’ desire to use devices. Technology awareness should be included in the main educational subject in diabetes education. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Research Society for Study of Diabetes in India 2024.
