Abstract: Type 1 Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood and demands several care tasks in order to achieve glycemic control. Nurses must develop educational approaches to provide youth with education and positive behavioral outcomes. This paper describes two play-based strategies used in nursing practice for diabetes education: The Therapeutic Play and the Interview with Puppets. These play-based strategies offer nurses the opportunity to give voice to their pediatric clients, talk about children’s perceptions and overcome challenges in patient-provider communication.
