Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease that causes various complications, leading to a high mortality rate and high medical costs. Good knowledge and perception are essential for patients in understanding the disease and how to prevent the complications. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and perceptions of DM among patients with type 2 DM from the Public Health Centers (Pusat Kesehatan Masyarakat, Puskesmas), the primary health care facility in West Java.Methods: The research design was quantitative observational with a cross-sectional method and descriptive approach. Data were collected in 2019 from all DM patients living in five working areas of the Puskesmas in Karawang Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Data collection was performed by trained interviewers, using a validated translation of the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ) (Cronbach’s alpha 0.723) and the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) (Cronbach’s alpha 0.74) to measure knowledge (24 questions) and to explore perception (8 questions), respectively. Results: Of the 211 respondents, 165 were predominantly female (76.4%) and aged 52–61 years old (35.2%). Knowledge was moderate (55.8%), however, they had a negative perception of the disease (50.9%).Conclusions: Although most of the respondents have a moderate level of knowledge, their perception of DM is still negative. Therefore, education for patients and the community needs to be evaluated to enhance knowledge and perceptions about diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Background: Diabetic patients have low sensitivity towards sweet taste, thus consuming more sugar. A young adult with family history of diabetes mellitus (FHD) who lives with diabetic parents may have an increased risk of overconsumption of sugar due to a similar dietary pattern, leading to diabetes. This study aimed to explore the difference in the sweet taste threshold (STT) between students with and without a family history of diabetes mellitus.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in October –November 2018 on Class 2018 medical students living in a student dormitory who were divided into those with family history of diabetes (FHD) and those without it (non-FHD). Family history of diabetes and other known diseases were self-reported. The three-Ascending Forced Choice method was used to determine the sweet recognition threshold. Mann-Whitney analysis was used to compare the sweet taste thresholds between the two groups.Result: A total of 183 subjects participated in this study. The non-FHD group had a higher rank of sweet taste threshold than subjects in the FHD group (94.21 vs 81.16), albeit insignificant (p=0.192). Interestingly, the modes of best estimation threshold (BET) for non-FHD group was than the FHD group (0.067 M vs 0.043 M).Conclusion: The BET for students without family history of diabetes is higher than those with family history of diabetes. It is imperative that low sugar consumption campaign should also aim young people without FHD.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) is a structured self-care program for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), including treatment adherence and complications prevention. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of DSME on diabetes-related knowledge and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C) levels among patients with T2DM.  Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design was conducted from August 2023 to January 2024, involving 65 patients with T2DM in occupational health care in Cikarang and Tangerang, Indonesia.  The DSME program included five key components: (1) diabetes mellitus education, (2) medical nutrition therapy, (3) physical exercise, (4) pharmacological intervention; and (5) blood glucose self-monitoring. The intervention group received DSME in six sessions over three weeks (45–60 minutes each), while the control group only reviewed 40 educational slides for 30 minutes. Knowledge was assessed using the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ-24), and HbA1c levels were measured twice, six months apart. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests, dependent t-tests, and ANOVA. Results: The intervention group (n=26) and control group (n=39) had similar baseline characteristics. A significant improvement in diabetes knowledge was observed in both groups. Interestingly, only the intervention group showed a notable reduction in HbA1c levels (−1.9%), from 8.5% to 6.6%. Post-intervention HbA1c levels differed significantly between groups (p<0.05), with the control group remaining at 8.2%.Conclusions: The DSME program effectively improves knowledge and reduces HbA1c levels in patients with T2DM. It is recommended for integration into occupational health care settings to promote healthy lifestyles and enhance diabetes management.
