Abstract

Type 1 diabetes, although it can be seen in all age groups, is frequently seen between the ages of 7-15. When diabetes is managed effectively, complications related to diabetes can be delayed or even prevented. Studies have also proven that education is effective in diabetes management. Creative drama is a group activity, that can provide a curative environment for adolescents with T1DM in the adolescent period. There are not many studies in the literature on the use of creative drama in the field of health. The current study aims to describe the use of creative drama in the education of patients with type 1 diabetes. The study follows the qualitative research method, and all data were sought from previous research. According to the results of the research, it was determined that there was a positive change in children's knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors using the creative drama method.
