Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major global health issue, with rising prevalence linked to lifestyle factors. In Indonesia, DM was the third leading cause of mortality in 2019, and cases are projected to increase by 47% by 2045. Given these concerns, community education plays a crucial role in enhancing public awareness regarding DM prevention and management. This program aimed to enhance community knowledge about DM risks in Taratara Satu Village, Tomohon Barat District. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used, involving 12 DM-diagnosed respondents. The intervention included a pre-test, door-to-door education using lectures and visual media, and a post-test. Data were analyzed descriptively to assess knowledge improvement. Before the intervention, 58.33% of participants had good knowledge, while 41.67% had moderate knowledge. After the program, 91.67% demonstrated good knowledge, showing a significant improvement. The educational program successfully enhanced public knowledge about Diabetes Mellitus in Taratara Satu Village. The intervention proved effective in increasing awareness of DM risk factors, symptoms, and prevention strategies. This study underscores the importance of continuous community education to promote healthier lifestyles and reduce DM prevalence.

Abstract

The Field Learning Practice (PBL) III in Taratara Satu Village was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of previous interventions related to Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI/ISPA). The intervention involved installing educational billboards at the village office and a local motorcycle taxi station. Evaluation methods included observation, interviews, and online questionnaires. The results showed that the billboard at the village office remained intact and effective as an educational tool, while the one at the motorcycle station was damaged due to weather. Residents reported a better understanding of ISPA prevention after the intervention. Overall, the program was considered successful in raising community awareness, although environmental factors still posed challenges. The results of the activity showed that this intervention was effective in increasing public understanding of the prevention of ISPA and encouraging changes in healthy living behaviors. This emphasizes the importance of sustainability and maintenance of physical educational media to ensure that health messages can be conveyed optimally.
