Objectives

Narrative objectives1

We developed a novel board game that simulates the course of diabetes and allows players to experience day-to-day decision-making and resulting changes in health status. In this study, we enrolled medical students without diabetes and examined whether participating in the game improves diabetes-related knowledge and how it influences attitudes toward stigma.

Interventions/Control_1

This game is a progression-simulation board game designed to provide a simulated experience of the lifelong course of diabetes. Players aim to live for 50 years, from age 50 to 100, during which they make choices regarding lifestyle and therapeutic interventions. These decisions influence glycemic control (HbA1c), the development and progression of complications, and changes in activities of daily living (ADL). A game master (GM), acting as the physician, provides interventions throughout the session, enabling participants to learn about the bidirectional patient-healthcare professional relationship in diabetes care and its importance.
