Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a growing global health issue, both in terms of its prevalence and the impact of its complications. Controlling blood sugar levels is a key component in preventing DM complications. However, managing blood sugar remains challenging, primarily due to a lack of patient knowledge and skills in self-management. Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) is an educational approach designed to enhance patients' ability to independently manage their condition. This study aims to analyze the effect of DSME on blood sugar control in DM patients at Merauke Regional General Hospital. A pre-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach without a control group was used. The sample consisted of 21 DM patients selected using probability sampling techniques. The intervention involved DSME delivered over four educational sessions, covering topics such as the concept of DM, dietary regulation, physical activity, and blood sugar monitoring. Blood sugar levels were measured before and after the intervention using a portable glucose meter. Data analysis was performed using repeated measures ANOVA. The average blood sugar levels of the patients decreased from 229 mg/dL before the intervention to 175 mg/dL at the first follow-up and 177 mg/dL at the second follow-up after the DSME intervention. The analysis showed a significant effect of DSME on reducing blood sugar levels (p < 0.05). DSME proved effective in improving blood sugar control in DM patients through structured education that supports self-care. This program also helps patients understand the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle and adhering to therapy. Continuous implementation of DSME is recommended to improve the quality of care for DM patients and reduce the risk of long-term complications.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus remain major public health burdens in remote communities. Samkai Village, Merauke Regency, faces limited access to active health screening, resulting in many undetected cases. This community service aimed to optimize the health status of the Payum community through integrated TB screening and early detection of NCDs. A one-stop community-based health post was implemented, combining sputum smear examination, blood pressure measurement, blood glucose and cholesterol testing, health education, and an active referral system. The activity was conducted in November 2025 involving 65 participants. Of the 25 adequate sputum samples examined, 12 participants (18.5% of total participants) were smear-positive for TB. In addition, 30 participants (46.2%) were identified with hypertension and 3 (4.6%) with dyslipidemia. A total of 45 participants were referred to the primary health center for further management. This program demonstrates that an integrated community-based screening approach is effective in uncovering hidden disease burden and linking communities with formal health services.
