Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic and non-communicable disease that has serious impacts. Previous studies have focused on a single intervention in the management of DM. Therefore, EMAS (education, nutrition management, physical activities, and stress management) interventions are proposed to convey the pillars of diabetes mellitus as endorsed by the Indonesian Ministry of Health.Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the effects of EMAS interventions on the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and glucose control in patients with type-2 DM.Methods: This study used a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design without control groups. The samples were 86 diabetic patients recruited using a purposive sampling technique. The EMAS interventions were conducted for six months and eight sessions (October 2018 to March 2019). The EuroQoLfive-dimensional (EQ-5D) questionnaire was used to collect the data, and the paired t-test was used for data analysis. Results: The results showed that there were significant differences in the knowledge, attitudes, skills (p=0.001), and glucose control (p=0.04) of type 2 diabetes mellitus after the implementation of EMAS interventions. Conclusion: EMAS interventions significantly increased the knowledge, attitudes, and skills in patients with type 2 diabetes to behave healthier to control their blood sugar. Community nurses can use EMAS intervention for the management of DM among diabetic patients.
Utilization of smartphone technology as a health promotion media has continued to be developed in the past few decades. This technology is used to manage various acute and chronic diseases, one of which is diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this literature review was to describe an intervention that utilizes technology as a media tool in the form of a smartphone in promoting health prevention and glucose control of type 2 diabetes. The database searches used include ProQuest, SciVerse ScienceDirect, Scopus, Pubmed, Cohcrane library, EBSCOhost, ClinicalKey, Sage Publica- tions. Keywords used in the search of the article was diabetes type 2, health promotion, telemedicine, smartphone applications, web based, obesity, diabetes exercise, walking, glucose control by getting 29 articles and only 14 articles that were used through goal analysis, topic suitability , research methods used, sample size, research ethics, the results of each article, and limitations that occur.There were effective results in the implementation of health promotion prevention and glucose control of type 2 diabetes by utilizing technology as a media tool such as smartphones and websites.Keywords: Health Promotion, Smartphone, Glucose, Type 2 DiabetesAbstrak: Pemanfaatan teknologi smartphone sebagai media promosi kesehatan terus dikembangkan dalam beberapa dekade terakhir.

The prevalence of HIV cases increases significantly in the vulnerable population; it is Transvestite. The high prevalence of HIV in transgenders requires treatment and treatment services. However, until now the transgender community is a group that is often not served in various health facilities. Transvestite identity intersections produce unique life experiences, such as multiple identities and spiritual identities. The purpose of the study was to explore the experience of transgender HIV patients when hospitalized in fulfilling spiritual needs. Research method with qualitative design phenomenology study approach. This study involved 12 transvestite participants who had been hospitalized because of HIV positive. Retrieving data using in-depth interviews, data analysis using Colaizzi. The results of the study found four themes namely (1) Spiritual according to HIV patients transvestites means believing in the existence of God; (2) Be grateful for the conditions they have; (3) get closer to God by doing good things; (4) Poor nurse services for transgender HIV patients.
BACKGROUND: Family plays a role in managing risk factors for diabetes mellitus (DM) in family members. The family can use diet and activity management as a form of prevention of risk factors and care for family members diagnosed with type 2 DM to keep it from getting to the level of severity. AIM: The study aims to analyze Social Support Management of Diabetes (SoSMeD) for glucose control of type 2 DM patients. METHODS: The study used a quasi-experiment pre-post-test with a control group design. The SoSMeD intervention was conducted for 3 months. The samples were taken by a random sampling technique of 50 respondents in each group. The measurement tool checks for glucose during the GDA-test 3 times, analyzed using a paired t-test. RESULTS: The results show significant differences between the intervention and control groups after being given SoSMeD in carrying out glucose control for patients with type 2 DM (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: SoSMeD interventions provide type 2 DM sufferers with glucose control. Based on the findings, it is recommended that nurses should provide proper nursing interventions by involving families in diabetes management.
Introduction: Patients with diabetes mellitus need support from their families to control their glucose needs because family plays a very important role in reducing risk factors. This study aims to analyze differences in glucose control before and after implementing family care support interventions. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experiment and involved 123 samples of diabetes mellitus patients and their families. These samples were selected using a random sampling technique. The measuring instrument employed an HbA1c blood sugar examination carried out twice. Meanwhile, bivariate statistical analysis employed the significance level of an alpha value <0.05 with a paired t-test. Results: Statistical tests have revealed some changes before and after the intervention in both groups. The mean glucose of the intervention group is 9.463 + 7.000, and that of the control group is 9.469 + 8.262. The results are p = 0.001 in the intervention group and p = 0.062 in the control group. Conclusion: The statistical tests have proven significantly different glucose control in DM patients before and after the intervention. Based on the findings, this study recommends that a nurse provide nursing interventions for diabetes mellitus patients by involving family participation. As a result, the client and family could provide care on their own.
