Abstract

Individuals with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) are at high risk of developing Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) due to hyperglycemia and immune system impairment. A lack of understanding regarding genital hygiene is a primary factor contributing to recurrent UTIs among Prolanis patients. This community service activity aimed to enhance the knowledge and practical skills of DM patients in maintaining genital hygiene and independently implementing UTI prevention measures. The activity was conducted at a partner Community Health Center (Puskesmas) involving 45 Prolanis DM participants. Implementation methods included interactive education, demonstrations of proper hygiene techniques, the distribution of informational leaflets, and knowledge assessment using pre- and post-tests. The results showed a significant increase in the participants' average knowledge score, rising from 54.2 (poor category) prior to the education to 86.8 (good category) afterward. Furthermore, participant compliance with proper personal hygiene practices increased to 88.8%. This structured educational intervention proved effective in improving the understanding and awareness of Prolanis DM patients regarding UTI prevention.
