Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a non-communicable disease with increasing prevalence, requiring effective management strategies. One of the main challenges in T2DM management is the low adherence of patients to a healthy diet, physical activity, and regular blood glucose monitoring. This community service program aims to improve glycemic control and the quality of life of T2DM patients through the implementation of Virtual Health Coaching (VHC) using the DIACOACH application at Bajeng Primary Health Center, Gowa Regency. The program involved 60 participants from the Prolanis group who received six weeks of health coaching using the Motivational Interviewing approach and the FIRA model (Focus, Identify, Reflect, Act). The DIACOACH application was used as an educational and self-monitoring tool for patients in managing their diabetes. This program included training on the application’s use, virtual coaching sessions by healthcare professionals, and an evaluation of the intervention’s effectiveness by assessing patients' health parameters before and after the intervention. The evaluation results showed an improvement in patients’ understanding of diabetes management and increased adherence to regular blood glucose monitoring. Additionally, the DIACOACH application received positive feedback regarding ease of use and benefits for participants. This community service initiative demonstrates that digital health technology in community-based healthcare services can be an innovative solution to support more effective and sustainable diabetes management.

Abstract

The global demographic transition has resulted in an increasing elderly population and a rising prevalence of dementia, which poses a significant public health challenge. This Community Service Program (CSP) aims to raise awareness and prevent dementia through education and Group Activity Therapy (GAT) based on picture guessing games in RW 002 and RW 003, Tamalanrea Indah Village, Makassar City. The program involved seven elderly participants aged 65–70 years, with interventions including interactive lectures on dementia and cognitive stimulation through group games. The results demonstrated improved understanding among participants of dementia symptoms, risk factors, and healthy lifestyle practices, alongside active participation exceeding 50% during the activities. This program effectively enhanced social engagement and motivation among participants to maintain cognitive function, particularly via stress management, physical activity, and control of hypertension and diabetes as dementia risk factors. In conclusion, a community-based educational and cognitive stimulation approach is effective in preventing dementia and enhancing the quality of life of the elderly.
