Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains a major cause of death worldwide due to complications, and its incidence is fairly high and predicted to continue to rise each year. This contributes to a low quality of life and poor self-care management, necessitating an effective treatment strategy consisting of self-help group (SHG) therapy that expands social networks, receives information, and receives emotional support from group members in order to provide numerous benefits. The purpose of this study was to assess if community-based self-help group interventions improve the quality of life and self-care management of individuals with T2DM. Methods: This study employed a Quasi-experiment non-equivalent control group pre-test and post-test design with a self-help group intervention (n=30) for one month. The sample was selected using the approach of purposive selection with the following inclusion criteria: age between 40 and 65 years, T2DM experience between 3 and 5 years, and the ability to converse, read, and write effectively. Statistical paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test were used to assess the data. Results: In both groups, self-care management, quality of life, and blood glucose levels at baseline were comparable. After one month of intervention, self-care management, quality of life, and blood glucose levels were significantly better in the intervention group than in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: In this study, the self-care management and quality of life of individuals with T2DM improved following SHG intervention. Integrating public health effort with an interpersonal collaboration approach will provide an optimal integrated contribution to resolving chronic deseases.

Abstract

Basic immunization coverage in Indonesia remains suboptimal, partly due to limited maternal health literacy and inadequate access to reliable health information. This community engagement program aimed to enhance maternal knowledge and improve immunization coverage through the implementation of the SI-IMUN (Maternal and Child Immunization Information System) application. The program adopted a participatory approach by involving mothers and integrated health post cadres through technical training, interactive education using the application, and ongoing assistance for immunization monitoring. Program evaluation was conducted using pre- and post-intervention assessments to measure changes in knowledge and user satisfaction. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in maternal knowledge, with an average increase of 76%. Additionally, 68% of users reported that the application was user-friendly, while 97% of cadres and healthcare workers indicated that SI-IMUN effectively supported health education and facilitated field-based immunization monitoring. In conclusion, the SI-IMUN application represents an effective digital innovation for strengthening community-based health promotion and has strong potential for scalability and replication in other primary healthcare settings.
