Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease associated with a high risk of serious complications that can impair patients’ quality of life. Educational efforts to prevent DM complications at Kalasan Public Health Centre (Puskesmas) have traditionally relied on conventional media, which are considered less effective. To overcome this limitation, the DIAPRO application was developed as a digital educational tool to enhance public knowledge of DM complication prevention. This study aimed to assess the effect of the DIAPRO application on knowledge levels regarding the prevention of DM complications in the catchment area of Kalasan Public Health Centre. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was applied, involving 106 purposively selected respondents, equally divided into experimental and control groups (53 participants each). The experimental group received education using the DIAPRO application, whereas the control group used PowerPoint presentations. Data were analysed using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests, revealing a significant improvement in knowledge in the experimental group (p = 0.000), with a higher mean post-test score compared to the control group (p = 0.000). These findings suggest that the DIAPRO application is effective in enhancing knowledge of DM complication prevention and holds promise as an alternative educational tool in primary healthcare services.
