Abstract

Purpose of the study: Aims to improve the patient's ability and confidence in taking care of himself. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Android application-based DM calendar as a DSME medium on self-efficacy and HbA1c levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. Methodology: The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest approach of the control group, involving 60 Type 2 DM patients who were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received an Android app's DM calendar-based DSME for 12 weeks, while the control group received conventional education. Main Findings: The results showed a significant increase in self-efficacy in the intervention group compared to the control group, accompanied by a larger and statistically significant decrease in HbA1c levels. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in the integration of Android-based digital calendars as an adaptive educational medium that supports patients' daily routines, thereby strengthening the role of mobile technology in multidisciplinary and sustainable diabetes management.
