Efektivitas Edukasi Obat untuk Pasien Diabetes Mellitus pada Masa Pandemi Covid-19 di Puskesmas Kecamatan Cempaka Putih, Jakarta Pusat

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease requires continuous therapy by professional health workers and self-care management from the patients. To support this, diabetic patient who seek treatment at the primary healthcare facilities is recommended to join The Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis). During the Covid-19 pandemic, the frequency of diabetic-related prolanis activities became less monitored, especially regarding the accuracy of using antidiabetic oral (ADO). A quasi-experimental study was conducted through drug education by pharmacists to determine the effect of such education on clinical outcomes, namely the patient's glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. The results showed that there was a decrease in HbA1c levels (1.31%) in the intervention group (n=7) and an increase in HbA1c (0.51%) in the control group (n=17; p=0.078). Eventhough it was not statistically significant due to limited research subjects, education on the proper use of ADO can reduce HbA1c levels in diabetic patients.

Edukasi Masyarakat dalam Kontrol Gula Selama Puasa dan Pengelolaan Penyakit Diabetes Mellitus di bulan Ramadhan

“…Selain mengutamakan aspek religius pada puasa ramadhan, muslim yang menderita DM perlu mengenali kondisi tubuhnya dan berkonsultasi dengan tenaga kesehatan yang merawat sebelum memutuskan untuk berpuasa. Berlandaskan penelitian sebelumnya yang dilakukan oleh pengabdi, yang menyatakan bahwa intervensi edukasi DM dapat berpengaruh pada kontrol glikemik (Puspita & Khairunnida, 2022), Poltekkes Kemenkes Jakarta II Program Studi DIII Farmasi berinisiatif melaksanakan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat bertema pengelolaan gula darah untuk penderita DM di bulan puasa Ramadhan. Hal ini dilakukan sebagai salah satu wujud tri dharma perguruan tinggi dan pengabdian para akademisi untuk meningkatkan ketrampilan perawatan diri pada penyakit DM.…”
