Course Title: Diabetes Education

Purpose of the Course: The purpose of this course is to educate individuals diagnosed with diabetes, their families, and caregivers about the disease, its management, and prevention. The course will cover the etiology, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, diagnostic procedures, and treatment options for diabetes.

Needs Assessment: The need for this course was determined by the increasing prevalence of diabetes worldwide, with an estimated 463 million adults living with diabetes globally in 2019. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that over 34 million Americans had diabetes in 2018, which is approximately 10.5% of the US population. This disease is associated with severe complications that can significantly impact the quality of life and increase mortality rates. Therefore, there is an urgent need to educate individuals diagnosed with diabetes, their families, and caregivers about the disease and its management.

Target Audience: The target audience for this course includes individuals diagnosed with diabetes, their families, and caregivers. The course will be delivered in a group setting to enhance peer support and interaction.

Classroom Setting/Environment: The course will be delivered in a classroom setting with comfortable seating, tables, and adequate lighting. The classroom will be arranged in a way that promotes interaction and engagement among learners. Audio-visual aids, such as a projector and screen, will be used to enhance the learning experience. The classroom will also be equipped with a whiteboard and markers for interactive sessions.

Course Outcomes: The course outcomes developed for this course are measurable, learner-centered, and clearly state what learners will be able to do upon completion of the course. The application of Bloom’s taxonomy is evident in the following course outcomes:

Define diabetes, its types, and causes (Knowledge)
Explain the pathophysiology of diabetes and its complications (Comprehension)
Describe the signs and symptoms of diabetes and the diagnostic procedures (Application)
Discuss the treatment options for diabetes and the importance of adherence (Analysis)
Develop a diabetes self-care plan, including blood glucose monitoring and healthy lifestyle behaviors (Synthesis)
Evaluate the effectiveness of the diabetes education program in managing the disease and improving quality of life (Assessment)
