Abstract

Background: Obesity is a growing public health concern associated with an increased risk of non-communicable diseases. Improving public knowledge through health education is an important strategy for promoting healthy lifestyles and preventing obesity. Audiovisual media have been widely adopted to enhance educational effectiveness and participant engagement. Objective: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a community-based obesity education program using PowerPoint presentations and an educational video to improve participants' knowledge. Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted among community participants in Jambi, Indonesia, in 2026. Participants completed a 10-item multiple-choice questionnaire before and after the educational session. The intervention covered the definition of obesity, body mass index classification, waist circumference, risk factors, complications, and lifestyle-based prevention strategies. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: Forty-five participants completed both assessments. The mean knowledge score increased from 86.67 ± 12.25 at baseline to 94.89 ± 6.95 after the intervention. The distribution of score differences was non-normal (Shapiro–Wilk: W = 0.749, p < 0.001). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test demonstrated a significant improvement in knowledge following the educational intervention (W = 0, p < 0.001). Participant evaluation also indicated high acceptance of the educational program across all assessed domains, including material quality, video presentation quality, perceived educational benefits, and overall participant satisfaction. Conclusion: The community-based obesity education program effectively improved participants' knowledge and was well accepted by the participants. Integrating presentations with audiovisual media represents a practical approach to strengthening health literacy and supporting community-based obesity prevention.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Health literacy plays a pivotal role in the effective management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), influencing patients' ability to understand health information, adhere to treatment, and adopt healthy lifestyles. Limited health literacy has been associated with poor glycemic control, increased risk of complications, and higher healthcare utilization. This study aimed to assess health literacy among patients with T2DM and identify sociodemographic factors associated with health literacy in a primary health care setting in Jambi, Indonesia. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 170 patients with T2DM attending Puskesmas Putri Ayu, Jambi, Indonesia, between January and March 2025. Participants were recruited using consecutive sampling. Data were collected through interviewer-administered structured questionnaires assessing sociodemographic characteristics and diabetes-related health literacy. Health literacy was categorized as poor, moderate, or good based on the total questionnaire score. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and multivariable logistic regression were used to analyze the data.. Result: Among the 170 participants, 61.8% were female and 35.3% were aged 51–60 years. Most respondents had completed secondary education (58.8%). Poor health literacy was identified in 57.6% of participants, while 30.6% demonstrated moderate health literacy and only 11.8% had good health literacy. Educational attainment, age, employment status, and family history of diabetes were significantly associated with health literacy (p < 0.05). Higher educational attainment was the strongest predictor of adequate health literacy.. Conclusion: Most patients with T2DM attending primary health care demonstrated inadequate health literacy. Strengthening patient-centered educational interventions tailored to patients' educational backgrounds and individual needs is essential to improve diabetes self-management and support better health outcomes.
