Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that constitutes a major global and national public health problem, with a continuously increasing prevalence and the potential to cause serious complications if not properly managed. One of the key factors in DM management is patients’ level of knowledge, which plays an important role in shaping self-care behaviors and adherence to therapy. This study aimed to analyze the improvement in knowledge among patients with Diabetes Mellitus regarding disease management through health education and leaflet-based media in Pekaroa Village, Sawa District, North Konawe Regency. This study employed a quasi- experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test without control group. The population as well as the sample consisted of all patients with Diabetes Mellitus in Pekaroa Village, totaling 8 individuals. The intervention consisted of health education accompanied by the distribution of educational leaflets on Diabetes Mellitus management. Knowledge was measured before the intervention (pre-test), after the first educational session (post- test 1), and after reinforcement of education (post-test 2). Data were analyzed using the wilcoxon signed ranks test. The results showed that the mean knowledge score increased from 2.50 (SD 0.756) at pre-test to 4.38 (SD 0.744) at post-test 1 and reached the maximum score of 5.00 at post-test 2. The wilcoxon test indicated a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test 1 (p = 0.016), while the difference between post-test 1 and post-test 2 was not statistically significant (p = 0.059), although it demonstrated a trend toward improvement and stabilization of knowledge. It can be concluded that health education, reinforced by the distribution of leaflet media, is effective in improving the knowledge of patients with Diabetes Mellitus regarding the management of their disease. Educational leaflets are recommended as a simple, practical, and easily applicable educational strategy in rural communities to support Diabetes Mellitus control.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease that significantly impacts patients' quality of life, particularly among participants of the Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) in primary healthcare facilities. Quality of life is an important indicator in evaluating the success of comprehensive chronic disease management. This study aimed to describe the quality of life of T2DM Prolanis participants at Puskesmas Mokoau, Kendari City, using the Diabetes Quality of Life Brief Clinical Inventory (DQoL-BCI) instrument. This was a descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all T2DM Prolanis participants in the working area of Puskesmas Mokoau, Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi Province. Total sampling was employed, where all T2DM Prolanis participants who met the inclusion criteria were included as respondents, totaling 35 participants. Quality of life was measured using the DQoL-BCI instrument (Burroughs, 2004) comprising 15 items on a 1–5 Likert scale. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis including frequency distribution, mean, and standard deviation. Most respondents were aged 61–72 years (60.0%), female (57.1%), educated at diploma/bachelor level (68.6%), and had been diagnosed with DM for 1–2 years (60.0%). The quality of life of T2DM Prolanis participants showed that 48.6% had good quality of life, 25.7% moderate, and 25.7% poor, with a mean score of 55.63 ± 15.14. Nearly half of T2DM Prolanis participants had good quality of life; however, a significant proportion with moderate and poor quality of life requires further attention and intervention.
