Abstract

Dental caries is one of the most common health problems among elementary school children and is generally caused by improper toothbrushing habits, frequent consumption of sugary foods, and low levels of knowledge regarding oral and dental health. This caries prevention education activity was carried out for students at SDN 02 Sukasari with the aim of increasing children’s knowledge and awareness about caries prevention through interactive counseling, demonstrations of proper toothbrushing techniques, and education about foods that affect dental health. The implementation methods included delivering educational material, hands-on practice, and simple assistance provided by community service (KKN) students. The results of the activity showed an increase in students’ understanding and behavior regarding the importance of maintaining oral and dental hygiene. This intervention proved effective as a promotive and preventive effort to reduce the risk of dental caries in children and is recommended for continuous implementation in other school environments.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by increased blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin secretion or insulin resistance. One of the factors that influence blood glucose control in patients with Diabetes Mellitus is self care management. Self care management is the ability of patients to perform self-care such as regulating diet, physical activity, medication adherence, monitoring blood glucose levels, and foot care. This study aims to determine the relationship between self care management and blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the working area of Sawah Lebar Public Health Center, Bengkulu City. This study used a cross sectional research design. The sample in this study were patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who visited the Sawah Lebar Public Health Center using an accidental sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analysis with statistical tests. The results showed that most respondents had good self care management and some respondents had controlled blood glucose levels. The results of bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between self care management and blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with a p-value < 0.05. The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between self care management and blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Health workers are expected to increase education regarding self care management for patients with diabetes mellitus so that blood glucose levels can be well controlled.
