Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease that develops due to impaired insulin production or function, which causes blood sugar levels to exceed normal limits. Adolescents are very vulnerable to DM because of their low level of DM knowledge and excessive soft drink consumption patterns. The aim of this research is to describe soft drink consumption patterns and the level of DM knowledge among adolescents in Medan Johor District. This research design with a quantitative approach involving 114 teenagers in the Medan Johor area as respondents. Data is collected through a questionnaire that has been validated by experts and for efficiency, the questionnaire is distributed via Google Form. The results of this study show that the majority of respondents (82 teenagers, 71.9%) consume soft drinks 1-2 times/week. The majority of respondents in this study showed a very good knowledge (70 teenagers, 61.4%). This research concludes that teenagers in Medan Johor have very good knowledge regarding DM and consume soft drinks in moderate amounts. It is recommended that future studies examine the effectiveness of educational interventions in reducing soft drink consumption and increasing diabetes knowledge among adolescents.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a global and national health issue with a continuously rising prevalence. Data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) indicates that the prevalence of DM in individuals aged ≥15 years has reached 11.7%. This increase highlights the crucial need for early education, especially among students. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of education using a leaflet medium in improving students' knowledge of DM. The research employed a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental approach and a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 31 seventh and eighth-grade students from MTsS Nurhasanah Labuhan Ruku, selected through total sampling. Knowledge was measured using a questionnaire administered both before (pretest) and after (posttest) the educational intervention with the leaflet. A bivariate data analysis using the Paired Samples Test revealed a significant increase in students' knowledge levels. Before the education, 71% of students had poor knowledge, which decreased to 16.1% after the intervention. Conversely, the percentage of students with good knowledge increased from 29% to 83.9%. The statistical test result showed a p-value of 0.0001, confirming a significant difference in student knowledge before and after the intervention. Therefore, this study concludes that education through a leaflet medium is effective in improving students' knowledge of diabetes mellitus.
