"Perception, Knowledge, and Attitudes of Educational Staff Regarding the Care of Children With Type 1 Diabetes: Evaluation of the Educational Program"

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease that requires continuous monitoring and regulation of glycemia. Children with type 1 diabetes face challenges that can disrupt their daily routines in school and kindergarten. This includes the need for self-monitoring, continuous blood sugar measurement, insulin administration, proper nutrition, regular physical activity, and timely interventions in cases of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Therefore, children with diabetes often require support from educational staff, including teachers, preschool educators, and other professional personnel while attending educational institutions. A safe and supportive (pre)school environment is crucial for maintaining the health and well-being of children with type 1 diabetes. Teachers and preschool educators, as key actors in the daily (pre)school life of the child, play an important role in recognizing disease symptoms and managing emergencies. However, research shows that many teachers lack sufficient knowledge about the symptoms of diabetes and the necessary procedures in emergencies, which can endanger the health and safety of the child, as well as their equal participation in educational activities.
