Abstract

Diabetes self-management education (DSME) is a crucial tool for patient education. The development of an Android-based mobile phone application that can raise awareness, alter behavior, and enhance DM patients' self-management is required because traditional media-based education is ineffective at changing the way that patients manage their condition. The research aims to investigate the care needs of patients with diabetes mellitus through the creation of android-based applications that act as a communication tool for them. The study employs a research and development (R&D) method design. This study was carried out in March and April of 2023 in Semarang City. Twenty patients with diabetes mellitus made up the study's sample. The study employed snow ball sampling as a sampling technique, and the inclusion criteria included patients with diabetes mellitus for more than a year, ages 18 to 65, Android phone ownership, and literacy. There are multiple phases to this study. Respondents are asked to complete a number of questionnaires during the first stage with the Diabetes Knowledge Questionaire-24 (DKQ-24) (r-values= 0.425-0.904 and Cronbach’s α= 0.757), the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) (r-values= 0.287-0.461 and Cronbach’s α= 0.792) and the Self Care Management Questionnaire (r-values = 0.391-0.865 and Cronbach’s α= 0.930), known as the analysis stage. Development of the application and due diligence constitute the second step. Based on characteristics of the respondents, indicates that sixty percent of individuals with diabetes mellitus are male, forty percent are between the ages of 46 and 55, and thirty percent have completed both senior high school and college, the majority of patients with diabetes had a low level of knowledge (50%), had a low adherence rate of 60%, the low category, with a self-care management level of 50%. The overall feasibility percentage results from the computation above demonstrate how effectively the "Tetes Madu" application is being used. In an effort to boost patients' self efficacy and enhance their self management, the "Tetes Madu"  application was developed. This is a step in the right direction for modern healthcare.
