<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus require optimal self-care management abilities to prevent long-term complications and maintain their quality of life. However, preliminary findings at RSI Assyifa indicated that several patients were not yet able to perform self-care consistently, particularly in regulating diet, monitoring blood glucose levels, engaging in physical activity, adhering to medication therapy, and performing foot care. This study aimed to determine the effect of e-booklet–based education on self-care management among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at RSI Assyifa Sukabumi. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a pretest-posttest control group model, involving 36 respondents divided into an intervention group (n = 18) and a control group (n = 18), selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument used was the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA). The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test indicated that all data were not normally distributed (p = 0.001). The Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference in self-care management between the intervention and control groups after the e-booklet–based education was provided (p = 0.001), with a mean rank of 26.14 for the intervention group and 10.86 for the control group. These findings demonstrate that e-booklet–based education is effective in improving self-care management among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Structured, clear, and easily accessible digital educational media help enhance patients’ understanding and independence in managing chronic conditions.

ABSTRAK Pasien Diabetes Mellitus Tipe 2 memerlukan kemampuan manajemen perawatan diri yang optimal untuk mencegah komplikasi jangka panjang dan mempertahankan kualitas hidup. Namun, hasil studi pendahuluan di RSI Assyifa menunjukkan bahwa sebagian pasien belum mampu melakukan perawatan diri secara konsisten, terutama dalam hal pengaturan pola makan, pemantauan gula darah, aktivitas fisik, kepatuhan obat, dan perawatan kaki. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh edukasi berbasis e-booklet terhadap manajemen perawatan diri pada pasien Diabetes Mellitus Tipe 2 di RSI Assyifa Sukabumi. Desain penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode quasi eksperimen dan model pretest-posttest control group design, melibatkan 36 responden yang terbagi menjadi kelompok intervensi (n = 18) dan kelompok kontrol (n = 18), dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA). Hasil uji normalitas Kolmogorov-Smirnov menunjukkan bahwa seluruh data berdistribusi tidak normal (p = 0,001). Analisis Wilcoxon menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan manajemen perawatan diri antara kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol setelah edukasi berbasis e-booklet diberikan (p = 0,001), dengan mean rank kelompok intervensi sebesar 26,14 dan kelompok kontrol 10,86. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa edukasi berbasis e-booklet efektif dalam meningkatkan manajemen perawatan diri pasien Diabetes Mellitus Tipe 2. Media edukasi digital yang terstruktur, jelas, dan mudah diakses membantu meningkatkan pemahaman dan kemandirian pasien dalam pengelolaan penyakit kronis.
