Aims: Hypoglycemia is a frequent complication in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. By providing education, awareness among diabetic patients could be increased to prevent hypoglycemia. Indonesia has yet to widely implement smartphone-based education programs for hypoglycemia prevention. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of a smartphone application-based diabetes education model, developed using the health belief model and social cognitive theory, to enhance the ability of diabetes mellitus patients to detect hypoglycemia.
Materials & Methods: This design and development research utilized a pre-test and post-test design without a control group and was done on 64 diabetics between May and September 2023. Statistical analyses were performed using the paired t-test.
Findings: The mean patient's score on the ability to prevent hypoglycemia was 45.13 before the intervention. After the intervention, the patient's ability increased by 3.21 to reach 48.34. The paired t-test yielded a p-value of 0.0001, indicating a significant difference in the ability to detect hypoglycemia before and after the intervention.
Conclusion: Nursing Education Diabetic Therapeutic Application (NEDTA) was declared feasible to use in detecting hypoglycemia.
